Scientists have unearthed 80-million-year-old dinosaur eggs, thought to belong to the largest land animals of all time, in an "exceptional" discovery.
The archeologists made the discovery in Brazil, at the first titanosaur nesting site ever found.
Titanosaurs could grow up to 85 feet as adults, experts believe, and would bury around 10 eggs at a time to allow them to brood.
The nest, which dates back to the Cretaceous period, was discovered in an abandoned limestone mine in the rural area of Ponte Alta, near the city of Uberaba.
Experts believe titanosaurs were wiped out when the Earth was hit by a huge meteor, marking the end of the Cretaceous period.
Palaeontologist Joao Ismael da Silva discovered the fossils in Ponte Alta in the 1990s, but the results of the analysis of the eggs has only just been published
