Dinosaurs. Fossible eggs and riddles of nesting life. Mikhailov K.E.

This book is about what the paleontologists of the finds of fossilized nests, shells and eggs of dinosaurs and how scientists receive information about the biology of the reproduction of long -extinct animals. At the same time, this is a journey to the burial places of nests with eggs and cubs, as well as a cognitive excursion into the field of science about reproduction of reptiles and birds. One of the main problems of all oviposing animals is that the cub develops inside the egg outside the mother’s body. An egg is a house for the embryo, and the likelihood that the embryo will become a chick and hatch from the egg depends on how this house is arranged and how it is protected from an aggressive external environment. In general, this book is not only about finds proper, but about everything that helps us understand and correctly interpret the finds of eggs that have been delayed many millions of years ago, of which the cubs of long-existing people who had once reigned on the planet have long been hatched. those who left their no less amazing descendants called birds.

The author of the book Konstantin Evgenievich Mikhailov is a candidate of biological sciences, an employee of the Paleontological Institute named after A. A. Borisyaka RAS, who has devoted many years to the research of ancient nests, fossilized eggs and shells, a participant in many expeditions in the Mongol Gobi.
