Œuf de dinosaure

Cet objet provenant de notre collection est très spécial : c’est un œuf de dinosaure ! On pense qu’il s’agit de l’œuf d’un dinosaure appelé Hypselosaure, datant du Crétacé supérieur, il y a 70 millions d’années.

L’Hypselosaure, dont le nom signifie « le plus haut lézard », était un titanosaure, un type de sauropode qui vivait en France. Les œufs d’Hypselosaure sont les premiers œufs de dinosaure à avoir été découverts en 1846, mais à l’époque on pensait qu’il s’agissait d’œufs d’oiseaux géants ! Ce n’est que plusieurs décennies plus tard qu’on a identifié leur origine.

Les œufs de dinosaure constituent l’une des trouvailles sur lesquelles les chasseurs de fossiles amateurs se trompent le plus souvent. Si vous pensez que vous possédez un objet à la maison qui pourrait être un œuf de dinosaure, vous pouvez vérifier s’il a une forme ovale, ainsi qu’une texture et des morceaux de coquille à la surface. Le squelette d’un bébé dinosaure s’y trouvera alors.

On parle souvent des œufs de dinosaure dans l’actualité. Lors de travaux de recherche récents, par exemple, des scientifiques ont réussi à reconstruire le crâne des dinosaures présents dans des œufs fossilisés, révélant ainsi de nouvelles informations sur leur développement.

    Inspirata de activitatile cu tematica paleontologica, Eva a creat o gradina pentru dinozauri folosind o cutie de lemn, pamant, pietre, cateva plante suculente si un recipient de plastic pe post de lac.

    Si noi ne-am inspirat citind despre dinozauri si despre plante. Ne-am distrat plantand o gradina a dinozaurilor si invatand cuvinte noi cu copiii. Multumim!

    Hello,
    This exhibit is closely related to the dinosaur egg fossil exhibit in the Kumamoto region in Japan.
    I have translated a bit of the excerpt from the Japanese website.
    “At Kumamoto Kamimashikigun, Mifune city, we have discovered two dinosaur egg fossils from the Upper Crustaceous Period (about 90 million years ago). This dinosaur egg fossil is the first to be found in the Kyushu region, and a dinosaur egg fossil from the Upper Crustaceous period is the first to be discovered in Japan.
    Based on this discovery, it is known that the dinosaurs were breeding and accumulating in this area. ”
