We are looking at the very beginning of dinosaur evolution.

The only explanation for that is they must have been fed by the mother. That would be oldest evidence of parental care in the fossil record,

When somebody slammed a door in the building, my technician who preparing this felt that,

These animals do not have any teeth, and since they are ready to hatch, that is strange,

So we are suggesting this was a relatively helpless little hatchling.

This is much more direct evidence of parental care, and it's 100 million years older than other findings suggesting dinosaurs acted this way.

The head is quite large. The pelvic girdle is very small. That's where most of the muscles that would be used for locomotion are located,
