In the Heart of India, Madhya Pradesh (in Central India) three amateur explorers discovered over 100 dinosaur eggs dating back to the Cretaceous Era.

The fossilized eggs were categorized to belong to three types of Sauropod dinosaurs. The Sauropods (lizard foot in Greek) were basically giant herbivores with long necks and walked on four feet. The best known of the species are the Apatosaurus and the Diplocodus. Remember Jurassic Park? They were the ones the children fed while perched on the giant tree.

These gentle giants reportedly travel from their usual habitats to the sandy riverbanks of the Lameta bed to lay their eggs. The three-man amateur team also uncovered dinosaur footprints which they believe could help them track the route the dinosaurs took. Earlier the team uncovered fossilized dinosaur bones in the same region.

The team, known as Mangal Panchayatan Parishad, is a group of amateur explorers, members of which are Vishal Verma, Rajesh Chouhan and Govind Verma. The former director of Geological Survey of India praised the trio, saying, "It's a good job done by amateurs. With this find, the scientists would be able to know more about the spread of the dinosaurs. It can also throw light on the reasons of extinction."

The nesting site would also give information in how many species were active in the area during the Cretaceous.
