In February 2017, dinosaur egg fossils were discovered in Chian Town part of Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. They were confirmed by dinosaur experts from the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History to be those of Mesozoic herbivorous dinosaurs (Fig. 1). Not long before, Yiwu Museum staff had discovered dinosaur eggs close by this place. These dinosaur eggs from the two sites show similar shape, size and color. In recent years, dinosaur eggs have also been discovered in Shanxi Village, Fotang Town, and in Jiangdong Street and Futian Street, Shankou Village. In addition, many dinosaur fossil footprints were found in Jiangdong Street near Guanyintang Village.
