The latest SVP (Society Vertebrate Paleontology) meeting just ended so I think it might have something to do with that?

Yeah, what the last guy said. SVP is going on, which means everyone is announcing their study results now.

Reminds me of Lautenschlager et al. 2013 ( http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0052289 ). Specifically, Lautenschlager et al. concluded that "the high acuity of the individual senses further indicates that they may have played an important role in foraging, predator evasion, and/or social complexity." Now we have an even better idea of how socially complex therizinosaurs were AWA evidence for colonial nesting in another nonavian theropod. Makes me wonder if/when we'll find evidence of brooding behavior in the same therizinosaurs?

I am confused by this article. It seems to be highly sensationalized or I am not correctly understanding it.Segnosaur nests were often found in the Xixia basin area during the Chinese dinosaur egg rush of the 90's . These were often unhatched full clutches that were used in studying the embryos within. They were often also brought to market in full clutches and still appear now and then for sale today. I am unsure why a find of empty shells much smaller in scope would warrant such headlines given this. Ideas, or thoughts?
