Using uranium-lead dating, researchers calculated the age of the eggs, rather than the sediments around them, at the Qinglongshan site in China ...
For the first time, scientists have dated dinosaur eggs that lay buried in rock for millions of years, using a groundbreaking new ‘atomic clock for fossils’ method. During the Cretaceous period, Earth ...
Push aside imagery of the towering Tyrannosaurus rex because the smallest-ever dinosaur eggs have been unearthed and represent an all new type of dinosaur species. The irregular egg arrangement ...
Dinosaur eggs from China found to be around 86 million years old, according to ‘atomic clock’ dating
A clutch of 28 dinosaur eggs found in the Qinglongshan fossil reserve in central China is about 86 million years old, according to scientists who used an “atomic clock” method to date the samples.
Scientists say fossil dinosaur eggs unearthed at a construction site in China are the smallest ever found, providing new insights into the evolution of the extinct reptile. The six eggs, fossilised ...
Scientists have discovered a well-preserved fossil of a dinosaur egg that has strengthened the links between prehistoric creatures and modern birds. Researchers from the University of Birmingham and ...
A remarkable discovery in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, China, has captured the attention of paleontologists around the world. Researchers have uncovered the smallest dinosaur egg fossil ever found, with ...
Dinosaur eggs from China found to be around 86 million years old, according to ‘atomic clock’ dating
Researchers collected and vaporized samples from fossilized eggshells in China's Qinglongshan fossil reserve. They calculated how old the eggs were by measuring accumulated lead and uranium atoms in ...
