Madhya Pradesh: Paleontologists have made a rare discovery of closely located dinosaur nests and 256 eggs in the Narmada valley in Madhya Pradesh. The eggs were discovered by researchers from Delhi University, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Mohanpur-Kolkata, and Bhopal. The findings were published in the PLoS One research journal and reveal intimate details about the lives of the long-necked sauropods that walked the region over 66 million years ago. The eggs were found in the estuary formed where the Tethys Sea merged with the Narmada when Seychelles broke away from the Indian plate. The nests were found close to each other, and the eggs range in size from 15cm to 17cm in diameter and likely belonged to several titanosaur species.
