Numerous discussions highlight the novelty of the umbilical scar discovery in nonavian dinosaurs, with users playfully debating whether dinosaurs had 'innies' or 'outies.' The use of phrases like 'amazing discovery' and 'most important news' showcases a sense of wonder and emphasizes the excitement surrounding this research. The light-hearted tone and engagement with scientific details help convey the broader impact and interest in paleontology.

AgreementModerate agreement

InterestHigh interest

Many users show high enthusiasm for the discovery, indicating it sparked an exciting conversation.

EngagementModerate engagement

While several posts delve into the implications and details of the discovery, the depth of engagement varies.

ImpactHigh impact

Participants perceive the finding as significant for understanding dinosaur biology, which relates to broader evolutionary discussions.

Abstract in brief

  • The discovery of the oldest preserved umbilical scar in a 130-million-year-old ceratopsian dinosaur, Psittacosaurus, marks the first identification of an umbilicus in a nonavian dinosaur.
  • The umbilicus, visible through advanced laser-stimulated fluorescence, appears as an elongated structure with paired scales, and was likely retained throughout the dinosaur's life, even reaching sexual maturity.
  • This finding suggests that unlike most modern reptiles and birds that lose their umbilical scars shortly after hatching, Psittacosaurus maintained its umbilicus longer, although this trait may not have been universal among all nonavian dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs had belly buttons, and we're not sure what to do now. (We've also learned so do some lizards and crocodylians, at least until adulthood. And birds have belly buttons too, upon hatching!) https://t.co/ZdLd6Poih3
