Salvaging dinosaur embryos, eggs, and associated geological data from Tustea, Romania, for future phylogenetic and paleobiological studies

快速：从罗马尼亚的Tustea打捞恐龙胚胎、蛋和相关的地质数据，用于未来的系统发育和古生物学研究南达科他州拉皮特市Journey博物馆的Gerald Grellet-Tner-EAR-1335605ABSTRACTPI请求资金前往罗马尼亚的Cluj，从世界著名的Tustea恐龙巢地打捞恐龙蛋和胚胎的化石和相关的地质数据。这个非常小的Tustea化石遗址目前有90%被不必要的推土机摧毁。相对较薄的化石产层的破坏是古生物学和科学的重大损失，并威胁到未来对胚胎身份、它们的系统发育位置、对筑巢地点的深入古生物学调查以及恐龙胚胎与相关卵的关联的长期研究的希望。克卢日大学的科德里亚博士发现并发现了恐龙蛋和胚胎化石。他请Grellet-Tner博士前往克卢日，协助打捞行动和对产生的标本进行研究。少年派的家乡机构，南达科他州拉皮德市的旅程博物馆，服务于大量的美洲原住民社区，地区学校系统，以及全国和国际成年人人口。博物馆的地质学/古生物学展览的一部分展示了少年派以前的研究。它将以胚胎和卵子的展示和模具的形式更新和扩展，以纳入新研究的结果。

RAPID: Salvaging dinosaur embryos, eggs, and associated geological data from Tustea, Romania, for future phylogenetic and paleobiological studiesGerald Grellet-Tinner, Journey Museum, Rapid City, South DakotaEAR-1335605ABSTRACTPI requests funds to travel to Cluj, Romania to salvage fossil dinosaur eggs and embryos and associated geological data from the world-renown Tustea dinosaur-nesting site. The extremely small Tustea fossil site is presently 90% destroyed by unwarranted bulldozing. The destruction of the relatively thin fossil-bearing layer represents a major loss for paleontology and science and threatens hope for future, long-term studies of the identity of the embryos, their phylogenetic placement, in depth paleobiological investigations of the nesting sites, and the association of dinosaur embryos with the associated eggs. Dr. Codrea from the University of Cluj discovered and recovered fossil dinosaur eggs and embryos. He asked Dr. Grellet-Tinner to travel to Cluj to assist in the salvaging operation and study of the resultant specimens. The PI's home institution, the Journey Museum in Rapid city, South Dakota, serves a large community of Native Americans, the regional school system, and the national and international adult population. A portion of the museum's geology/paleontology exhibit features the PI's previous research. It will be updated and expanded to incorporate the outcome of the new research in the form of displays and molds of the embryos and eggs.
