Hadrosauridae Sp. Egg

Hadrosaurs were herbivorous dinosaurs. Their beaks are like ducks' beaks, and they seasonally migrated as a group. Dinosaur eggshells in this area (Ganzhou, Jiangxi) are thinner than those in the Early Cretaceous or Jurassic. Palaeontologists believe that dramatic changes in the earth's climate led to physiological changes in the Hadrosaurus that reduced their hatching rate, which contributed to their extinction.

Most dinosaur egg fossils don’t have a fetus inside. The fetus is often replaced by mud and stone. This dinosaur egg is filled with pebbles of different sizes. It can be inferred that its depositional environment is next to a river.

This project is a collaboration between 'Buddhist Wong Fung Ling College' and 'dot 3D FACTORY' in Hong Kong. We hope to make fragile fossils available to every student with 3D replication technology.

The fossil exhibits are owned by Mr Leung, a former student of BWFLC.
