Oldest nesting site ever found

Summary: There recently has been a study where paleontologist Robert Reisz and professor David Evans with a couple of other researchers describes groups of eggs still with embryos and found near dinosaur footprints still in a nesting site. They are said to be old enough to have grown double the size. These people found up to 10 more nests on the site with each up to nearly 34 round eggs in the nest.  Reisz explains that these animals were from the Jurassic Period that dates back to 190 million years ago and are called the Massospondylus! The mother dinosaur is up to six meters in length and has been back to these sites multiple times by the evidence the researchers discovered. The children or eggs were six to seven centimeters.  They were found in South Africa on a cliff with sedimentary rock.  Some of these are found in the Royal Ontario Museum in display as one of the oldest fossils found.

Impact: This discovery gave little evidence about the dinosaurs living in the past. But as one of the oldest fossils found, it helps us see how animals revolutionized physically and by way of survival. By having little evidence about the earliest life of the Jurassic Period, it helps biology very much in learning more about how our world works.

Critique: I think this discovery is so cool! I love history and love knowing how our nature and survival is well today by what happened in the past. This dinosaur finding can sooner or later help us know what dinosaurs looked like and make those non-believers of dinosaurs know they really do exist!  I so do hope that no one can end up bring dinosaurs back to life because I have had dreams about dinosaurs in my life… and it’s not pretty!!! Finding living things like this that are from a cajillion years ago should be cool to anyone!! Maybe not to some people who believe that we evolved from monkeys or that we were born from dust.
