Dinosaur reproduction shows correlation with archosaur physiology, with newborns hatching from eggs that were laid in nests. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Dinosaurs did not nurture their offspring as mammals typically do, and because dinosaurs did not nurse, it is likely that most dinosaurs were capable of surviving on their own after hatching. [ 3 ]
The interior of a dinosaur egg can be studied using CAT scans or by gradually dissolving away the shell with acid. Sometimes the egg preserves the remains of the developing embryo inside. The oldest known dinosaur eggs and embryos are from Massospondylus, which lived during the Early Jurassic, about 190 million years ago. [2] [3]

A microbiologist is proposing the idea that the reign of dinosaurs forced mammals to speed up their reproductive cycle, eliminating key longevity genes. Historic Dinosaur Dominance May Cause ...
While the dinosaurs' modern-day surviving avian lineage (birds) are generally small due to the constraints of flight, many prehistoric dinosaurs (non-avian and avian) were large-bodied—the largest sauropod dinosaurs are estimated to have reached lengths of 39.7 meters (130 feet) and heights of 18 m (59 ft) and were the largest land animals of ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dinosaurs long dominated Earth's land ecosystems with a multitude of forms including plant-eating giants like Argentinosaurus, meat-eating brutes like Tyrannosaurus and ...

Many ancient reptile groups are known from egg fossils including crocodilians, dinosaurs, and turtles. [3] Some ancient reptiles, like ichthyosaurs [8] and plesiosaurs [9] are known to have given live birth and are therefore not anticipated to have left behind egg fossils. Dinosaur eggs are among the most well known kind of fossil reptile eggs. [3]
