A construction project underway in the Chinese city of Heyuan accidentally unearthed a total of 43 dinosaur eggs. Archaeologists were called to the scene to excavate the eggs, a process that took them over two hours.
According to official state news, of the 43 eggs discovered at the site, 19 were removed from the site intact. Du Yanli, curator of Heyuan's dinosaur museum, commented that the eggs were large in size, with one measuring 13 cm in diameter.
