So I came across this article today. The bird is called Avimaia. Lived in China about 110 million years ago. Pretty odd looking bird too (those huge legs and feet) but well preserved with feathers, probably scales on its legs, and feet, and of course the egg that probably killed it. Article says it was found 11 years ago but the understanding that it is a new species and has an egg is recent.

Thought I would share this as it is a pretty fascinating specimen and seems to the first discovered fossil of its kind (edit: in that it is a bird with its egg).

That is indeed very fascinating,  but not really unexpected, is it?

Jeez, having an egg stuck inside of you... that wasn't going to be over easy.

This kind of thing happens in chickens too as they are bred to lay large eggs at a fast pace. Sometimes it comes out but more comes out than just the egg.

"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD
