paleontologists unearth a monumental 2-ton nest containing 30 intact Titanosaur eggs in Northern Spain, marking a significant discovery in dinosaur paleontology

The fossil gathering project was led by the Aragosaurus-IUCA Group of the University of Zaragoza and the Portuguese NOVA University Lisbon, with 25 paleontologist and student participants from Spanish, Portuguese, and German institutions. This latest extraction work in September 2021 involved removal of one large nest, containing at least 12 eggs, conglomerated into a mass of rock that weighed over two tons. In 2020, the Ьɩoсk was protected with cellulose and plaster and reinforced with a metal structure to facilitate later removal.
