Chechnya's huge Dinosaur Egg
Discovery - Doubts Raised
Previous this week we were sent some
pictures taken by a team of scientists who were investigative what was thought
by a number of observers to be the fossilized remains of dinosaur eggs. There
have been a substantial number of stories about this discovery in newspapers,
journals and in both on-line and off-line media. Edifice workers responsibility
the building of a new road were blasting their way through a hillside near the
Chechen border with Georgia when the detection of more than forty, strange,
spherical objects entrenched in the hillside was made. The strange objects,
ranging in size from a few centimeters across to a whopping 1.02 meters were
described as being dinosaur eggs and their discovery led to a
"scramble" among scientists to learn more.
Stimulating Find in Chechnya
Dinosaur fossils are practically
unknown from this part of south-eastern Europe. To find a whole array of
dinosaur eggs, some of them three times the size of any other eggs recognized
from the fossil record is truly extraordinary.
The Chechnya region has suffered in
the past twenty years or so as separatist movements fought with Russia in a bid
to form a sovereign state. The war-torn region has had millions of pounds (GBP
equivalent) of state aid poured into it in a bid to improve the living circumstances
for the local population, the road building project was one such regional growth
measure, however, the planners did not "eggspect" to have a dinosaur
egg pursue on their hands.
