'Dinosaur eggs' discovered in Chechnya

[Locutus]

The discovery of what Chechen scientists believe to be dinosaur eggs is causing a ruckus among paleontologists. The sphere-like fossils were found on a construction site and the area has become a magnet for locals eager to look at the ‘dinos’.

Workmen building a new road were blacking through a hillside near the Chechen border with Georgia when they came across what geologists described as a clutch of 60 million year old "eggs".



"We've found about 40 eggs so far, the exact number has not been established,” a senior geologist at the Chechen State University, Said-Emin Dzhabrailov, told Russia’s NTV channel. "There could be many more under the ground."

The “eggs” range from 25cm to one meter in diameter. They belong to herbivorous dinosaurs, claimed another scientist from the Chechen State University, Magomed Alkhazurov.

i'm surprised the artillery fire didn't destroy the eggs. I wonder if modern dinosaur eggs would taste any good?

I took this many years ago,when the rock stopped failing there was about 10,000 dino prints left on the moose mountain sandstone.It was a tiny digital camera and this was about 1200 frames I had to put together to make the vid.

I have some egg fossils. Not that size but I've got em'.

hang on... if the eggs are 60 million years old, weren't they 5 million years past the KT event?

How come we still have dinosaurs alive today?

I cant wait for them to take that dino dna from some amber and start producing the big fellas again if they arent allready.

Or fossil fuel.

imagine the cost for "Spaminoil"

That video I posted,national geographic came out and filmed most of the tracks from a chopper a few days later,the whole wall failed and it was like an old lakebed at one time and must have been a popular route for them,hardosaurs(duck bills)pterodactyls and my favourites,the T rex and Brontosaurus,some of the tracks were over 1 meter wide.

When your standing 3 feet away from a 4 foot wide T-rex track your imagination takes you back 65 million years.

When your that big you leave a track or imprint anywhere but rock,that vid was taken at the line creek mine in south east B.C.
