On September 4th， according to media reports， the Dinosaur Geological Science Popularization Center in Nanxiong， Shaoguan， Guangdong， recently exhibited a clutch of dinosaur egg fossils.
The clutch consists of 36 dinosaur egg fossils， preserved in their original buried state and arranged in a three-layered， three-dimensional structure. The largest egg has a maximum diameter of 18 centimeters. Staff members estimate these to be the fossilized eggs of a hadrosaur， commonly known as a duck-billed dinosaur.
Notably， these remarkable fossils were safeguarded by a local man for 35 years prior to their exhibition.
The man revealed that he accidentally discovered the clutch of dinosaur eggs at a construction site in 1990.
In recent years， the man decided to donate the fossilized dinosaur eggs， expressing his hope that they would receive better protection in their new “home.”
It is important to note， however， that according to relevant legal regulations in China， paleontological fossils， which include the actual remains and trace fossils of animals and plants formed and preserved in strata during geological history， are considered state property within the territory and jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China. The buying and selling of such fossils by any unit or individual is prohibited.
