A 66 million-year-old dinosaur embryo was discovered in Ganzhou, southern China, and belonged to an oviraptorosaur. The researchers named the fossil "Baby Yingliang" one of the best dinosaur embryos ever found in history. University of Birmingham researcher Fion Waisum Ma and colleagues found that it lay below its body, with the feet on either side and back curled -- a posture never observed in dinosaurs before. Like modern birds, 'Oviraptorosaurs' used a technique called tucking. This implies that they lived in now Asia and North America during the Late Cretaceous period. The embryo is entirely around 27 centimeters long and lies inside a 17 centimeter-long egg preserved at the Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum.
