Millions of photos, documenting Australian life from the 1920s to the 1990s, were stranded and lost in Arkansas, of all places. A bank ended up owning them, but had no interest. Fortunately Daniel Miller, a gallery owner, bought them, and the process of sorting and trying to repatriate them is ongoing. You can read all about this project, see more, and be able to help with the repatriation at smhphotographs.

Birth of a Dinosaur.

These are wonderful! From Kestrel, click for full size.

So, first pic: the eggs, which has been pipped, and some sections of the shell have broken away. The inmate has made a little tear in the membrane. The other items you can see in there are hatched chicks, and in the left lower part of the incubator, that square thing is the hygrometer.

Now the beak emerges from the tear.

One of the siblings has come by and is about to trip and fall over the new hatchling, and then fall asleep, delaying things a bit.

Almost out, after the sibling has staggered off somewhere else!

Finally the creature emerges, ready to eat Tokyo. Or some chick crumbles, anyway.
