Very very cool!  The group nesting behavior was the most interesting I thought. The only thing the article didn't mention was whether or not the nests were mounds are more typical looking? I hope they'll find a really well reserved ambryo and be able to tell what its skin was like. Or better yet, an adult! Some of the comments below are sort of funny, in an almost sad way  . Fortunately, it appears there were some knowledgable folks to inform them, even if they were sometimes a little off... |

You should never read comments. They are bad for your health.

"I would wholeheartedly dispute the so called fact that dinosaurs or anything can be dated 100's of millions of years in the past.
Sounds a lot like scientific orthodoxy to me."
"Many scientists believe that dinosaurs and birds are related. Still, no one seems to draw them with feathers and beaks like birds. Why not? I bet I will be proven right in a few years!"
Pure gold.

 What do raptors and feathers have to do with Massospondylus, it's a sauropod. Is nothing sacred!

Some people just feel the need to try and steer conversations into whatever they want to vent about, even if its irrelevant. |

Funny. The article is about nesting sites of Massospondylus and the main discussion in the comments is about oil.

Funny. The article is about nesting sites of Massospondylus and the main discussion in the comments is about oil. And of course we know that oil comes from pressed dinosaur corpses, don't we? *running away* |
