Because the eggs nearly filled the dinosaur's pelvic cavity, they were ready to be laid, says Sato.
At this stage, however, the uterus is still only the size of a plum and therefore protected by the bony structure of the pelvic cavity.
It occurs when tissue similar to that which lines the uterus (tissue called the endometrium) is found outside the uterus - usually in the abdomen on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments that support the uterus; the area between the vagina and rectum; the outer surface of the uterus; and the lining of the pelvic cavity.
