Because these were situated in the left half of the body cavity of the fossils, the authors suppose that the right ovary was already reduced in these early birds 1 . Fossilization of ovarian follicles would constitute an extraordinary case of soft tissue preservation, but the morphology of the fossil structures does not agree with the ovulation mode of coelurosaurs.
