an illustrated life reconstruction of Magnuviator ovimonsensis at the Egg Mountain site as it may have appeared in the Cretaceous Period 75 million years ago. Magnuviator eats a wasp, and on the ground is a tooth from the bird-like dinosaur Troodon. The arid-adapted plant is based on fossil pollen found near Egg Mountain.
A distant view of Egg Mountain and the basin in which it lies. Egg Mountain is in the center-left of this image, within the basin. Clearly visible at its top are black rectangular shapes, which are tarps erected near the excavation site.
