From the CT scan of the dinosaur egg, Sasha could determine the age of the baby dinosaur inside the egg when it died. The growth lines on the baby dinosaur's teeth indicate that one line formed each day, which allows scientists to estimate how long the baby dinosaur was developing in the egg before it died.
