Based on the discoveries at Auca Mahuevo, however, we could
now be certain that some sauropods returned to the same nesting site
at least several times. But what was it like when they came to Auca
Mahuevo to nest? Did the mothers come as individuals or in large
herds? Did they dig nests or lay their eggs randomly across the flood-
plain? Once the embryos had hatched, did the mothers take care of
their babies? We tried to solve some of these important questions by
mapping the eggs in the quarry and on the flats.
