Fossilized eggs of herbivorous dinosaurs have recently been found in South Korea's southwestern region of Sinan near a site where fossils of carnivorous dinosaurs were discovered over a decade ago, a group of scientists said Saturday.

It is considered rare for both carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaur egg fossils to be found in the same place.

Four eggs of dinosaurs preserved in complete shape and over 100 fragments of eggs were uncovered in Sinan County of South Jeolla Province, Feb. 19, according to the Korea Dinosaur Research Center at Chonnam National University. Fossils of dinosaur bones were also unearthed at the site.
