Original titleThe Tiniest Giants: Discovering Dinosaur Eggs
In 1997, paleontologists in Patagonia made a startling discovery. While looking for the remains of ancient birds, they stumbled across something amazing: a dinosaur nesting ground. Eggs littered the ground as far as the eve could see. As they looked closer, they found something even more amazing; something no one had ever found before. Inside one of the eggs was fossilized embryonic dinosaur skin. Inside another egg was a baby dinosaur -- a sauropod, the largest dinosaurs ever to walk the earth. Both of these finds are firsts in the field, and they are changing what is known about what these giant creatures looked like, how they raised their young, and how they grew.
