Discovered a rare dinosaur embryo in Holland?

The Oertijdmuseum in Boxtel, in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant, may have discovered that it possesses one of the very few dinosaur eggs that contain the remains of an embryo.

The surprise came from a TAC performed at the Jeroen Boschhospital, which would have highlighted the presence of petrified elements that could be part of a dinosaur embryo. If the discovery were confirmed, it would be sensational. According to the curator of the museum, Maarten de Rijke, there would be less than a dozen eggs with embryos in the world of which we are aware.

It is also hypothesized that the egg may have come from a hadrosaur, a duck-billed dinosaur that populated North America about 70 million years ago.

Further checks expected in Switzerland
The bureaucratic process to carry out the TAC took about a year to complete. The egg that appears to contain the remains of a dinosaur embryo will now be further checked in Switzerland, in the hope that the tests will ascertain the presence of the embryo.

The 3D image of the embryo
Through further verification, the museum team will try to reproduce a 3D image of the remains of the embryo. Do we have a dinosaur egg with embryo or not? It is hoped to have the response as soon as possible.
