Eggs, Nests, and Baby Dinosaurs: A Look at Dinosaur Reproduction: Life of the Past
Autor Kenneth Carpenteren Limba Engleză Hardback – 2000
Carpenter begins with the story of the discovery of dinosaur eggs, explains the processes by which they are fossilised, and describes how they are studied. He presents a detailed discussion of the most current ideas about dinosaur courtship and mating, about nests and nesting behaviour, and about the growth of the dinosaur from embryo to hatchling to young animal. There is also an extensive list of sites where dinosaur eggs and babies have been found.
