This 70-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Egg Contained a Sparkling Crystal Surprise.

A grapefruit-sized dinosaur egg from a fossil bed in China gave paleontologists a huge surprise. Rather than a dinosaur embryo or sediment, it was filled with sparkling crystals of calcite lining the inner shell – a natural dinosaur geode

"certain lichen species preferentially colonize exposed dinosaur bones, creating distinctive spectral signatures that can be detected from 30 m above ground using drones... This likely occurs because the bones provide the alkaline, calcareous, and porous substrates the lichens favor... This pattern has been noted for decades, but never quantified until now"
