68-Million-Year-Old "Egg-Within-An-Egg" Dinosaur Fossil Stuns Scientists in India
•A 68-million-year-old dinosaur egg, featuring an "egg-within-an-egg" structure, was discovered in Madhya Pradesh, India.
•This rare formation, previously only observed in modern birds (ovum-in-ovo), suggests similar reproductive processes existed in dinosaurs.
•The fossil was found by a team of Indian and international palaeontologists in the Lameta Formation, led by IIT Roorkee and Geological Survey of India.
•Scientists believe the egg belonged to a titanosaur, a massive long-necked herbivorous dinosaur common in central India.
•The discovery strengthens the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and modern birds and highlights India's role in uncovering ancient history.
