Scientists say an amazingly well-preserved fossil egg adds more evidence to the close links between dinosaurs and modern birds.
Darla Zelenitsky, from the University of Calgary, was one of the authors of a just-published paper on the egg, originally discovered in China about 20 years ago.
She said the embryo of the theropod dinosaur is curled up inside the egg just like a chicken, with its back against the broad end of the egg.
