Nineteen of the eggs are intact but what dinosaur they are from remains a mystery, Du Yanli, curator of the city’s dinosaur museum, told Xinhua in the report Monday.

“These eggs are large in size, and one even has a diameter of 13 centimetres (5.1 inches),” Du said.

All the eggs, which were found Sunday, have been sent to the museum for further preservation and further research.
