Around 125 million years ago, a catastrophic
DINOSAUR CRÈCHE mudflow or fall of volcanic ash in what is
now eastern China overwhelmed a nest of baby Psittacosaurus. They were buried along with a
half-grown adult, just 6 years old. Found in 2004, their fossils seem to prove that the babies
were being cared for after hatching and that their carer might not even be their parent.
