I appreciate that the only certain way of establishing the kind of a dinosaur that hatched eggs is to discover a fossil of baby dinosaur inside an egg (Penner, 2014). Notably, it is rare occurrence to find a baby dinosaur inside an egg since the remnants of baby dinosaurs do not undergo preservation or even sometimes, they are mere crushed bone jumbles.  I learned during the visit that the scientist made an important discovery of dinosaur babies in 1990s. The baby dinosaur lay in a position that it would have laid if it were alive and it was well preserved. I established from the museum records that the experts called the baby dinosaur “Baby Louie”. The scientists presume that the baby belonged to a bird-like dinosaur known as Oviraptor.
