Overview
- Researchers uncovered a nest with multiple eggs, with one specimen presented intact during the Expedición Cretácica I livestream.
- The team provisionally attributes the eggs to a carnivorous theropod similar to Bonapartenykus ultimus, pending laboratory confirmation.
- The discovery comes from a Late Cretaceous site near General Roca in Río Negro, estimated at about 70 million years old.
- Scientists say the intact egg could preserve an embryo, offering rare insights into reproduction and development of South American theropods.
- The publicly streamed campaign continues this week with support from CONICET, the Fundación Félix de Azara and the National Geographic Society.
