According to experts from the Dayu County Museum,  the eggs were fossolised dinosaur eggs and they were from the Cretaceous period, the last period of the age of dinosaurs, reported China News.

GANZHOU: CHINA’S HOMETOWN OF ‘ѕсагу DRAGONS’

Situated in the southern part of Jiangxi Province in south-east China, Ganzhou has been crowned as the ‘hometown of dinosaurs’.

Chinese people call dinosaurs the ‘ѕсагу dragons’.

The city and its surrounding areas are known for a rich deposit of dinosaur eggs, especially those of Oviraptors.

Oviraptors were small, feathered dinosaurs living in an area covering modern Mongolia and Mainland China.

They were thought to walk on two legs and had parrot-like beaks and shared another characteristic with modern birds – they brooded сɩᴜtсһeѕ of eggs at a temperature similar to chickens.

Six oviraptorosaurian dinosaurs have been named after Ganzhou, according to Nature.com, including the Ganzhousaurus, or Ganzhou Lizard.

A partial ѕkeɩetoп of a Ganzhousaurus was found in the Nanxiong Formation near Ganzhou.

The remains were thought to be 66 to 72.1 million years old. It dated back to Maastrichtian, the latest stage of the Cretaceous period.
