GROZNY, Russia — Geologists in Russia’s volatile Chechnya region have discovered what they believe to be fossilized dinosaur eggs laid by one of the huge extinct reptiles that roamed the Earth more than 60 million years ago.

“We’ve found about 40 eggs so far, the exact number has not been established,” said Said-Emin Dzhabrailov, a geologist at the Chechen State University.

“There could be many more laying under the ground.”

The find was uncovered when a construction crew was blasting through a hillside to build a road near the region’s border with former Soviet Georgia in the Caucasus Mountains.

This is such bull, OP. I was so excited when I clicked the thread. You're going to upset many with this thread title

 

[strafer]

Oh my God. Do you know what this is? This is a dinosaur egg.

 

[Insane Metal]

WTF guys. Fossilized. OBVIOUSLY.

 

[echoshifting]

WTF guys. Fossilized. OBVIOUSLY.

Edit: beatn

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Those are not eggs.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

So cool!

Are egg discoveries like this common? I've not heard of it before

I for one am surprised that it wasn't the great Paleontologist Vladimir Putin who discovered these dinosaur fossils. They must be fake.

 

[ShadowRunner]

What an eggcellent specimen.

Indeed, a cracking find!

Only yolking...

 

[weekend_warrior]

oh, fossilized

yeah, seems obvious now, but still...

 

[Tunavi]

OP broke my heart

 

[blainethemono]

We'll see.

First thing I thought of too

 

[Kyoufu]

I bet they're Ostrich eggs.

 

[DarkChronic]

We'll see.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[B.K.]

In Soviet Russia, dinosaur egg finds you!

Incoming video of shirtless putin crushing fossilized dinosaur eggs with his bear hands

 

[TemplaerDude]

Uhhhh, did you guys perhaps expect UNfossilized eggs?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

We'll see.

Just sacrifice someone with king's blood and we are good to go

 

[D4Danger]

Uhhhh, did you guys perhaps expect UNfossilized eggs?

yes, and I was expecting Putin to be holding them

I was hoping that 6 months from now Russia would have a dinoasur army.

 

[MisterHero]

What if they're just really, really round rocks

Spoiler

lol

 

[Bossun]

This is fake. God didn't create dinosaurs, the earth is only 6000 years old. Do I have to remind you?

This is an atheist joke.

Seriously it doesn't surprise me but this is awesome. Let's hope they are well preserved.

It is known

OP broke my heart

Oh come on, everything dinosaur is a fossil. You don't chill in the ground for 65 million years like nothing happened.

 

[Nemo]

Just extract the DNA from it and let the cloning process begin. Easy!

 

[heliosRAzi]

It is known

It is NOT known

 

[Necromanti]

Had they blasted the hillside just a little bit differently, the eggs could have been lost forever. Talk about luck.

 

[dralla]

They look like giant pistachios

 

[echoshifting]

Had they blasted the hillside just a little bit differently, the eggs could have been lost forever. Talk about luck.

Yeah, when something like this happens by sheer chance, I think about all the times it must have gone the other way...all those ancient relics of lost civilizations, all those fossilized remains...gone.

I'm not criticizing anyone or anything. It's just sad.

 

[crimzonflame]

Does this mean that dinosaurs were killed instantly?

 

[bengraven]

Oh my God. Do you know what this is? This is a dinosaur egg.

Can always count on you to bring the JP in here.

Love Chappelle.

 

[elitehebrew]

isn't the earth only 6000 years old?

 

[Zyzyxxz]

isn't the earth only 6000 years old?

Yes thus these eggs must date somewhere between 4000 BC and 2000 BC around the time of the great floods.

 

[echoshifting]

If the devil put them there, does that mean he will hatch them for us? Do you think we can work out some sort of arrangement?

 

[elitehebrew]

Yes thus these eggs must date somewhere between 4000 BC and 2000 BC around the time of the great floods.

haha

 

[Log4Girlz]

Hard boiled it appears.

 

[Tawpgun]

 

[Boss Doggie]

How sturdy are these eggs I wonder.

 

[triplestation]

You mean digup digup digup dinosaurs?
