A group of rare incubating dinosaur fossils has been unearthed in east China s Jiangxi Province, shedding light on reproductive research related to theropod dinosaurs.
The fossils, dating back about 70 million years, were found with an adult skeleton, embryos and an egg nest intact. Believably, the two-meter-long dinosaur was lying prostrate atop a clutch of embryo-bearing eggs for incubation in the same manner as modern birds.

Before I became a museum staff member, I worked as a village official and was very interested in antiques in Ninghua county, about 100 kilometers away.
I well remember Oct 7, 1999, when a friend who worked at the Sanming Cultural Bureau called and invited me to take part in an officially organized monthlong dig on Wanshouyan Hill.
I accepted the invitation, which led to a two-decade career.
In the first week, we found tiles, coins, rusted iron locks, etched candleholders and relics of bluish-white porcelain in a hill cave. Tests showed that they all dated to the Song Dynasty (960-1279).
