World biggest fossilized dinosaur egg and fossilized eggs of a new species


     The End of the Cretaceous World and its Remains

       Dinosaur Slime Egg fossils by M. Yamamoto



   Hundreds of dinosaur slime egg fossils of a new type have been found in Mikawa district, Aichi-prefecture, Japan. Like dinosaur egg fossils found all over the world, these egg fossils I found vary greatly in size and appearance. but they lack egg shell and yolk. So I speculated that they are slime egg fossils from either marine reptiles or dinosaurs. I deliberately broke two egg fossils to show their inside. The yolk is not seen and reddish annular markings go deep into the center instead. Just photos are shown at the bottom.

Fossilized dinosaur soft tissues well preserved


 It has been said that soft tissue fossils are extremely rare to find, because they are easily putrefied and have less chance to be fossilized. But it seems I found a lot of dinosaur soft tissue fossils in my vicinity, for example skin, lung, liver, testicle, ovary, muscle, penis and so on. As long as so many fossilized dinosaur dungs, eggs, testicles and others were found in my vicinity, Mikawa district. I am sure that dinosaurs once lived around Mikawa district. There is a possibility that dinosaurs were quickly fossilized after their death or buried alive by massive landslide caused by a volcanic activity.I will report on the

Fossilized Dinosaur Dungs


     The End of Cretaceous World and its Remains
             Dinosaur Dung Fossils (Coprolites) by M. Yamamoto


  It has been said that fossilized dungs are rare find, because they are vulnerable to water damage and easily decomposed by bacteria.

   But I found hundreds of fossilized dinosaur dungs along with bone and soft tissue fossils in my vicinity. Herbivorous dinosaur dungs are like white balls of fiver. Carnivorous dinosaur dungs are black or brown colored. I inferred from appearance and shape that they are dung fossils. But analysis for the calcium phosphate has not been done yet. Dung fossils wrapped with gut muscle have been also found. Wood fossils with bite marks have been also found. It seems they are bitten and swallowed without chewing. A photo is shown at the bottom.  

   When I see these dung fossils, I always think of the tropical sun shine and forest trees on which dinosaur fed. At the time dinosaur era, tropical sunshine flourished forests and thrived herbivorous dinosaurs. It is obvious that all the living creatures on the Earth are totally dependent on the sun’s energy. Herbivorous dinosaurs enjoyed abundant supply of food. And carnivorous dinosaurs had feast on them. Plant eating creatures have been fundamental for the meat eating creatures. They prospered at the sacrifice of plant eating creatures. But carnivorous dinosaur excrements in return fertilized soil. And dinosaur world lasted about 165 million years until the asteroid hit our planet. In the past lots of species went extinct. And lots more are on the verge of extinction. We humans are the fiercest omnivores ever walked on this planet. We should help the herbivorous animals and find the way to coexist with them. We should utilized more sun’s energy and enrich our planet by planting trees like acorns and cumquats which are their favorite.
