Fossils and eggshells of baby dinosaurs found in Gobi Desert

Scientists of the Ghent University and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences have discovered a handful of fossils of baby dinosaurs in the Gobi Desert. They also found what appears to be fragments of eggshells inside the ‘Dragon’s Nest’ in Mongolia.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 15 October 2015.

In the opinion of the experts, this find is believed to be the youngest ever discovered of a type of giant hadrosaur that lived about 70 million years ago. These were known as Saurolophus angustirostris, or "lizard crest." This find would add to knowledge about how dinosaurs developed and grew, from birth to adulthood.
It is presumed that the babies came from the same nest according to lead researcher Leonard Dewaele from Ghent University and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.
The saurolophus breed of dinosaurs are herbivores and could measure up to 12 m (40 ft) long and weigh more than two tons. The have a crest that projects towards the rear from the skull. The fossils discovered do not have this distinguishing cranial crest, and their skulls were not yet fused. This could suggest that they were in the early stages of development.
