Oldest fossil egg confirms mammal ancestors laid eggs about 250 million years ago

Researchers analyzed a 252–250 million-year-old Lystrosaurus fossil egg found in South Africa and, using synchrotron imaging at the ESRF, revealed a curled embryo whose jaw bones suggest it was still in an egg. This proves therapsids (the precursor to mammals) laid eggs (oviparous) rather than giving live birth, offering clues about embryo development, egg size, and survival strategies after the Great Dying. The large, leathery eggs likely reduced desiccation and supported precocial hatchlings, informing our understanding of early mammalian reproduction and the evolution of lactation.

Beef Booms, Eggs Fall: A Tale of Split Food Inflation in December CPI

December’s CPI for food at home rose 0.72% month-to-month (9.0% annualized), pushing the annual gain to 2.4%, with beef, dairy, coffee and other foods leading gains while eggs pulled back after earlier spikes. Ground beef jumped about 19% year-over-year as the cattle herd sits at a 64-year low; chicken breast was flat; eggs, after a huge run-up due to avian flu, fell 5% in December though remain well above pre-pandemic levels. The “other foods” category rose 1.6% and fresh fruit/vegetables 0.5%, while coffee climbed 1.9% and restaurant prices (food away from home) rose 0.7% MoM and 4.1% YoY. The piece notes the inflation split across items and questions whether the December spike is a blip or a warning that food inflation could re-accelerate if demand stays strong and supply remains tight.
