Overview

  • During the latest broadcast, researchers displayed a nest and at least one intact egg preliminarily attributed to a carnivorous dinosaur similar to Bonapartenykus.
  • The specimen appears exceptionally well preserved, and the team noted the unhatched condition raises the possibility of fossilized embryos, which will be evaluated in the laboratory.
  • Expedición Cretácica I is led by Federico Agnolín and LACEV‑CONICET, continuing efforts to recover additional remains linked to the Bonapartenykus ultimus material first found in 2024.
  • The northern Río Negro site, dated to roughly 70 million years ago, is considered an unusually complete late‑Cretaceous window with diverse fossils, including multiple dinosaur clutches.
  • Live coverage runs Oct 6–10 on YouTube @paleocueva_lacev and Instagram @paleocueva.lacev, enabled by high‑speed satellite internet and backed by CONICET, National Geographic Society and Fundación Azara.
