The oldest known fossils of dinosaur embryos have been examined in 'unprecedented' detail to reveal how their skulls developed, according to a new study published Thursday.

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa discovered that the skulls of dinosaurs developed in the same order as embryos of living dinosaur relatives -- crocodiles, chickens, turtles and lizards.

Until now, the scientists said, the usefulness of the fossils for research purposes had been limited, owing to them being fragile. Using high powered X-rays, the scientists reconstructed the skulls and were able to see that the dinosaur embryos, which had skulls measuring less than 2cm, had two sets of teeth that ranged in size from 0.4 to 0.7mm in width -- similar to those of crocodiles and geckos.

I don't know man. That looks like their poop I'd say.

Terrible headline - makes it look like she broke the ‘distancing rule’ on purpose. CTV news - really? This is a sad story. That is gut sickening sad. My father has dementia and does NOT understand this or MANY things. Why anyone would ever push an elderly person is beyond me. Who ever thought this headline was a good idea should be ashamed of themselves. 👎
