The Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest has presented the remains of a few centimeters, an oval-shaped egg with a peculiar surface that were discovered during the excavations at Iharkút, NW Hungary.
The first Hungarian dinosaur egg was identified by versatile examination of a few millimeters of 85 million-year-old eggshell fragments. The remains are thought to have come from a small predatory dinosaur.
The identified egg residue is not only the first Hungarian fossil dino egg, but also the first egg representing this type of eggshell in the whole of Europe, and even to the best of our knowledge in the world, biologist Edina Prondvai emphasized to the state news agency MTI.
"The fact that such a tiny egg came from a maniraptora dinosaur and that it was preserved despite its size is extremely interesting in itself. Together with the frequency of shell fragments, this suggests that these animals nested near the former riverbank and perhaps settled there," she concluded.
