chicken/dinosaur?

A questions often asked is what came first, the chicken or the egg?

I have seen this quoted many times in the origins section of this site.

The best answer I saw was

"the egg because they were around before chickens"

So now i ask what came first? the dinosaur or the egg?

and before you answer

"the egg because they were around before dinosaurs"

please replace 'dinosaur' with whatever laid the earlier egg you're thinking of.

i reckon it was the dinosaur...or else there was nothing to lay the egg
