Fossilized eggs of herbivorous dinosaurs have recently been found in the Sinan region of southwestern South Korea, near a site where fossils of carnivorous dinosaurs were discovered more than a decade ago, a group of scientists said on Saturday. that is in the same place. Four completely preserved dinosaur eggs and more than 100 egg fragments were discovered in Sinan County of South Jeolla Province on February 19, according to the Korea Dinosaur Research Center at Chonnam National University. Fossils of dinosaur bones were also unearthed at the site.

Further analysis showed that the fossils partially came from large eggs of herbivorous dinosaurs, and the remains are presumed to be from small herbivorous dinosaurs or birds.

The latest fossils were excavated at a location just 100 meters next to the site where a fossilized nest of carnivorous dinosaur eggs was discovered in 2009. Both fossils are presumed to be from the same time they were found in the same rock layers. . Since dinosaurs tend to reproduce in their own territories, it is considered extremely rare for fossils of carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs to be found at the same site, according to Huh Min, director of the research center.
