A recent study of a 70 million-year-old fossilized nest of Protoceratops andrewsi dinosaurs -- complete with 15 preserved baby dinos -- has given scientists a new understanding of how the ceratopsian group of dinosaurs cared for their young.
David Fastovsky, chair of the geosciences department at the University of Rhode Island and the lead author of the study, said that while other species of dinosaurs are thought to have cared for their young, little was known about how involved ceratopsians were as parents.
