“Did their eggs incubate slowly like their reptilian cousins - crocodilians and lizards? Or rapidly like living dinosaurs - the birds?” “Some of the greatest riddles about dinosaurs pertain to their embryology - virtually nothing is known,” Erickson said. In an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, FSU Professor of Biological Science Gregory Erickson and a team of researchers break down the complicated biology of these prehistoric creatures and explain how embryonic dental records solved the mystery of how long dinosaurs incubated their eggs. Groundbreaking research led by a Florida State University professor establishes a timeline of anywhere from three to six months depending on the dinosaur. But how long did it take for a baby dinosaur to incubate? An ostrich hatchling emerges from its egg after 42 days. A human typically gives birth after nine months.
