This is “Big Mama”, a fossilised Citipati (a type of oviraptorid dinosaur) She was fossilised, still brooding her nest of eggs, likely protecting them from a sandstorm 💗
Big Mama protected her eggs until the very end. Some fossils of Oviraptorids were found with eggs, leading palaeontologists to believe they were egg stealers! It was then discovered that they were their own eggs; they were just looking after them. But they had already been given the name “Oviraptor” or “Egg Thief”…😭

While this was posted by Goro Furuta, I just found out he is not the artist. I'd love to know who did this piece! Can anyone read the signature?
Thanks @ussbamf! It's Iwao Suzuki!

I love that this depiction of Oviraptorosaurs in Dinotopia, written well before we realised what great parents they were, turned out to be more correct than the common 'egg thief' one.
