• The new "Mtuka titanosaur" was found in Africa
• An analysis of fossil fragments in Mygatt-Moore showed about half of the bones had marks on them

• An analysis of the pachycephalosaur Sphaerotholus showed that all 3 species should be considered valid
• Early dinosaurs had thin semi rigid eggs, but in the early to mid Jurassic their eggs got thicker—possibly as a solution to dehydration and predation
• By studying dozens of crocodilian, turtle, and bird nests, researchers found that the arrangement is preserved well as it is buried
• Professional fossil preparator tips include: wear gloves, use tools only after getting training, and test other methods in advance to avoid unwanted destruction
