Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs
ABC News reports that scientists are bringing the past to life by hatching eggs once thought to be dead and producing colonies of animals as they existed decades ago. They are calling it 'resurrection ecology,' and it's a whole new field that quite literally allows scientists to observe evolution as it occurred, using animals that were quite different than their kinfolk today.

On a similar note I've just seen this mentioned on the news, quite a interesting find.
In China a dinosaur fossil has been found, which has eggs inside - first to be found with eggs inside.
Scientists believe that the dinosaur was ready to lay the eggs - before dying.

Can this possibly be used as an argument for evolution?

Nope. Try again. Evolution can occur incrementally. You hypothesis implies that it connot. Um, no, sorry.
