Examiner

The world's only known in egg Pterodactyl embryo has been confirmed according to a report by Larissa Graham published on the Lufkin Daily News website on December 26, 2010

The most startling discovery was the preserved embryo of a Pterodactyl, the only known in-egg Pterodactyl embryo in the world. Pterodactyls lived from the late Triassic period to the Cretaceous period

Among the other finds in Dr.Naranjo's collection were:

Segnosaurs, also called Therizinosaurs showing the characteristic three toed forelimb.

A hadrosaur leg bone that displayed signs of being bitten, having serious infection supposedly from the bite, but having recovered.

Five of the six eggs examined with the CT scan contained embryos.

Paleontologist all over the world have contacted Dr. Naranjo after he posted his find on Facebook. The egg and embryo collection will be presented at a 2011 paleontology conference and will be on display at the Naranjo Natural History Museum in Lufkin, Texas.

This is one of the few times a CT scan has been used to examine fossils.

The evidence suggests that paleontologist will be borrowing doctor's CT scans to employ a new tool in deciphering fossil's mysteries.
