When scientists were studying dinosaur eggs, they discovered a very "special thing"

Around the 20th century, a group of people accidentally discovered a lot of Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils and the first dinosaur egg in history during a trip in the Mongolian Gobi Desert. Why is it an accident? It's because that group of people at the British Museum of Natural History originally aimed to better discover the origin of humans.

During the trip, they found a lot of dinosaur eggs, and they found a lot of Protoceratops fossils on the side of the search, so they felt that it was the place where Protoceratops lived in daily life.

But to their surprise, a smashed skull fossil that did not belong to Protoceratops was found beside them. Seeing that this fossil did not belong to this place, they began to work. The eyes of this type of Tyrannosaurus rex are very Large, with a sharp beak and a fierce appearance. Then they brought this kind of fossil to them. After scientific research, they found that this skull should have been stepped on by the mother of Protoceratops while stealing the eggs of Protoceratops...

Unclear feudal thought

After a quick search of the material, it was found that this type of Tyrannosaurus rex was named "Oviraptor philoceratops", which means that it is a species of Tyrannosaurus rex that likes to steal Protoceratops eggs. Is that so?

In the 1990s, as the current international situation gradually eased, the delegation was finally able to go into the Mongolian Gobi Desert to investigate. Living up to their hopes, this time they brought an oviraptor fossil specimen to collect.

From the collection of this specimen, it was scientifically determined that it is a Tyrannosaurus rex named Citipati, which is a blood relative of the egg-stealing dragon, but they found that the burial dragon was already lying on a nest of Tyrannosaurus rex, It's like hatching an egg. After conducting investigations, this dinosaur baby did not come from Protoceratops, but their own baby. This situation has repeatedly overturned the view that Oviraptor was a thief, and solved the misunderstanding over the years.

The misunderstanding has been resolved, but the feudal ideology of "egg-stealing dragon" has not been changed. Just keep storing it because international nomenclature requires that it cannot be changed. Despite the existence of feudal ideology, this type of Tyrannosaurus rex fossil also just confirms that the current personal behavior of birds hatching eggs is likely to come from the ancestors of Tyrannosaurus rex, and it is likely to have occurred in the oviraptor stage. .

With the development of science and technology, everyone has a stronger technical ability to explore the deepest secrets.

Many biologists have gradually started scientific research on dinosaur eggs. After scientific research, they have discovered a very interesting thing, that is, the egg nest of Oviraptorosaurus is very special. Accumulation, in the largest case, it can be stacked up to three layers, which is very characteristic. Why is this? What are the benefits?

Studies have shown that the nests of this type may be the eggs that come out in two and two, so they are very likely, like many vertebrates, to have bilateral fallopian tubes on both sides.

Later, a fossil of Oviraptorosaurus hidden in the Taiwan Museum was found. From this fossil, it was found that there were two eggs on its pelvis, which indeed confirmed the above opinion.

Afterwards, experts found that the contemporary E-fish and the egg-stealing dragon have the same bilateral fallopian tubes, but the little baby born by the egg-stealing dragon is not as many as the E-fish, but is in the middle value with the birds, which also confirmed. The human body of Tyrannosaurus rex has evolved into a bird.

is a good mother? Or good dad?

In the case of scientific research on dinosaur eggs, experts found that the eggs of oviraptor were relatively larger in size and the total number was larger. The more eggs were more in line with the way the father hatched the eggs, so they felt it was likely that the father was incubating the eggs.

Later, experts found that some initial birds, such as ostriches, were fathers taking care of their eggs, so they thought that dinosaurs similar to the initial birds were also likely to be fathers incubating eggs.

The final confirmation of this idea came from the discovery of osteoblastic cytology. Under normal circumstances, many birds will take some calcium from the human bones to provide nutrients for the baby when they lay eggs. Bone" structure.

Moreover, when reading the materials, it was found that there would be a structure in the initial tyrannosaurus group. However, when experts carried out scientific research on the fossils of oviraptorosaurs, they did not find this structure, so this confirmed that the small hatching egg was small. The baby is the father, not the mother.

Conclusion: Scientific research is continuing to develop, and the whole process of overcoming perjury is once again. For example, the egg-stealing dragon in the text has turned from a thief at the beginning to a good father. This development has made us have a deeper understanding of its Tyrannosaurus Rex, so we firmly believe that high-tech will lead us to a stronger future.
