Synchrotron X-ray sheds light on some of the world`s oldest dinosaur eggs
(PHYSorg.com Archaeology & Fossils)

An international team of scientists led by the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa has produced highly detailed reproductions of the skulls of some of the oldest known dinosaur embryos in 3-D, using powerful and non-destructive synchrotron techniques at the ESRF, the European Synchrotron in France. They found that the skulls develop in the same order as those of today`s crocodiles, chickens, turtles and lizards. The findings are published today in Scientific Reports.
