1998 : Excavations within the Museum-Park brought to light the smallest egg in the world laid by a carnivorous dinosaur (68 million years ago): 7cm long and 4.5 cm in diameter (23/4 x 13/4 inches), it is called Prismatoolithus Caboti.
Previously, much larger eggs with similar prismatic shells had been discovered in Mongolia and the USA where they had been attributed to a carnivorous dinosaur called Troodon; scientists studying the Mèze site think that the egg could in fact belong to a small dinosaur of the Dromaeosauridae family only 1.5m to 2m long (5 ft to 71/2
ft)
