🦖 70-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Egg Turns Into Glowing Crystal Geode
Scientists discovered a ~70 million-year-old dinosaur egg in China that surprisingly contained no embryo but was filled with sparkling calcite crystals, effectively transforming it into a natural geode.
• The egg is from the Chishan Formation and is about the size of a cannonball.
• Crystals formed over millions of years as groundwater mineralized the fossil.
• The discovery provides new insights into fossilization and ancient geochemistry.
This unique crystal-filled egg shows how natural mineral processes can preserve ancient fossils, turning them into rare, geologically informative specimens. It also opens new ways to study dinosaur habitats and paleo-environments.
