paleontologists can figure out what they say is a most peculiar

nest containing a grapefruit-sized egg with the first known embryo
of a meat-eating dinosaur and, among eggshell fragments in the same
nest, two tiny skulls - probably from embryos or newborns - of a

Velociraptor.

Velociraptors and bring them to the nest for food, much as a modern
osprey or eagle would do?
