Scientists discover perfectly preserved dinosaur egg

“They’re much more delicate eggs,” he shared, “with thinner shells that are more likely to be destroyed.”

As for whether the Jurassic Park storyline could be real, that depends on whether the egg contains embryonic material.

Muñoz shared, “An embryo is a very delicate animal, and its preservation is more complex. Although the egg was preserved complete, we don’t know if the embryo was there and died, or if it was an egg that didn’t have an embryo.”

If embryonic material is discovered within the egg, it could be a major breakthrough in science.

After tests on the egg are completed, it will be displayed in a local museum in Patagonia.
