Comment on this resource
This National Geographic Society (NGS) website takes users behind the scenes of their 1996 article 'The Great Dinosaur Egg Hunt'. The site contains an online egg hunt and a look at fossil researchers as they 'hatch' fossilized dinosaur eggs to reveal the embryos inside. This includes an in-depth look at 3 different dinosaur eggs that have been found, how researchers view the insides of fossilized eggs, the process of embryo modeling, and virtual reality views of hatchlings and embryos.
