Heyuan# | A 12-year-old boy has discovered a well-preserved dinosaur egg fossil near his home in Heyuan, Guangdong, the "Hometown of Dinosaurs in China."๐ฆ๐ฅ
Chen Zixi found the roughly 14-centimeter-wide fossil under a tree. Researchers later found another nearby. Coincidentally, children from the same village discovered Heyuan's first known dinosaur egg nest 30 years ago, marking the beginning of the city's dinosaur fossil research and conservation efforts.
Today, the Heyuan Dinosaur Museum houses more than 20,000 dinosaur egg fossils. ๐๐ฆด
