The dinosaur remains in the nest. Researchers believe sand entombed the dinosaur family while the members were still alive.

“rapidly overwhelmed and entombed”

There are so many instances of such phenomena; massive concentrated collections of dinosaur bones, and the seeming trillions of trilobites, many in concentrated collections, virtually intact,undamanged, in some instances their chitinous exoskeletons preserved as such, not having undergone mineral substitution.
Its a mystery, almost enough to make one doubt the validity of the doctrine of uniformitarianism.

Prease tell One Hong Lo how prepare 70 million year eggs; hear they gleat-gleat aphlodesiac! Hard to chew, like Dwarf bread....

Ever seen a “turtle boil”, when the hatchlings dig out of the buried nest? There are often a few that don't make it out.

Sometimes, the nest hatches; but, for what ever reason, is too deep for any to make it to the surface.

In either case, under the right conditions, they could be preserved in a similar tableau.

Are we certain that these guys were surface nesters, and not egg buriers? A buried nest would make it harder for the egg eaters to raid it.

I saw the headline, and expected the enviro-wackos to have declared them an endagered species.

Gee, maybe they starved after their doting mama, one of the so-called “fighting dinosaurs”, died nearby while protecting the nest.

I get so choked up—(sob)—over the deaths of little ‘bambis’ of a species inimical to the evolution of Man into the dominant form of animal life on our planet.
