These are the smallest fossilized dinosaur eggs ever found 江西赣州发现已知世界上最小完整恐龙蛋 In 2021, researchers uncovered the fossilized remains of six remarkably well preserved dinosaur eggs near a construction site in the Chinese region of Ganzhou. Now, after careful laboratory analysis, a team of paleontologists, evolutionary experts, and geoscientists have confirmed the specimens aren’t just some of the most complete dinosaur eggs ever found—they’re officially the smallest known to scientists. Detailed in a paper published last month in the journal Historical Biology, the new information is “significant for our understanding of the evolution of theropods in the Late Cretaceous.” 2021年,研究人员在中国赣州的一个建筑工地附近发现了六枚保存得异常完好的恐龙蛋化石。 现在,经过实验室仔细分析,由古生物学家、进化专家和地球科学家组成的团队确认,这些化石不仅是迄今为止发现的最完整的恐龙蛋,而且也是科学家们已知的最小的恐龙蛋。 上个月发表在《历史生物学》杂志上的一篇论文详细介绍了这一新发现,该发现“对了解晚白垩世兽脚类恐龙的演化具有重要意义。” ☞ fossilized 英 [ˈfɒsəlaɪzd] 美 [ˈfɑːsəlaɪzd] adj. 石化的;僵化的;老化的(fossilised 的美式拼写) v. 石化;僵化(fossilize 的过去式与过去分词) ☞ remarkably 英 [rɪˈmɑːkəbli] 美 [rɪˈmɑːrkəbli] adv. 不寻常地,惊人地;不平常地,奇怪地 ☞ paleontologist 英 [ˌpæliɒnˈtɒlədʒɪst] 美 [ˌpeɪliɑːnˈtɑːlədʒɪst] n. 古生物学者 ☞ officially 英 [əˈfɪʃəli] 美 [əˈfɪʃəli] adv. 官方地,正式地;据公布,据传(但不一定是事实);依据法规等 ☞ theropod 英 [ˈθɪərəˌpɒd] 美 [ˈθɪrəˌpɑːd] n. 兽脚亚目食肉恐龙,兽脚亚目恐龙 adj. 兽脚亚目恐龙的 any bipedal carnivorous saurischian dinosaur of the suborder Theropoda, having strong hind legs and grasping hands.
