60-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Egg Discovered in Stunning Agate Rock
A pretty agate mineral registered to the Natural History Museum’s Mineralogy Collection in 1883 has been identified as a dinosaur egg. The specimen, known as Eggate, is thought to date back to 60 million years ago when titanosaurs were the most common dinosaurs living in India. The egg is almost completely spherical and has a thin layer around the agate that looks like a shell. The team think this occurred due to volcanic activity causing the egg to become encased in solidified volcanic rock after an eruption.
