Thought to be an ordinary stone, it turns out there are 70 dinosaur eggs weighing a total of 2 tons!

A team of paleontologist experts successfully extracted 30 Titanosaurus dinosaur eggs weighing 2 tons from a rock in northern Spain.

"Successfully Extracted 30 Dinosaur Eggs"

A team of paleontologist experts successfully extracted 30 Titanosaurus dinosaur eggs from a 2-ton rock in northern Spain. They estimated that the rock may contain around 70 eggs. This discovery took place in September at an excavation site in Loarre, Huesca Province.

Jose Manuel Gasca, a paleontologist and member of the Department of Crystallography and Mineralogy at the University of Zaragoza, became the first person to discover the existence of the eggs.

After the discovery, the scientists immediately contacted Dr. Miguel Moreno-Azanza, a paleontologist in Huesca. Moreno-Azanza, who currently resides in Portugal, also participated in the research team at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. In the process of starting the extraction, they involved several teams of paleontological experts from various groups, including the paleontological expert team from Aragossauros Group, the University Environmental Research Institute in Aragon, the University of Zaragoza, and Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

"When conducting the extraction process, a team of scientists led by Gasca and Moreno-Azanza discovered a large amount of intact dinosaur eggshells and eggs."

Initiative experiments show that the nest originated from Titanosaurus, a herbivore with four legs, a tail, and a long neck that can reach a length of about 20 meters.

Titanosaurus is a sauropod that has a long neck and survived until the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period about 66 million years ago. In an interview following the discovery of two nests in 2020 and successfully extracting around 30 eggs from the rock, Moreno-Azanza stated, "The main goal of the 2021 campaign is to extract a large nest containing at least 12 eggs integrated within a block of stone weighing more than 2 tons."

Overall, five individuals committed to digging at the nest for eight hours each day for 50 days, which was eventually successfully lifted with the assistance of a bulldozer.

Moreno-Azanza stated that lifting such a large stone is a rare occurrence. He explained that the stone, along with 10 other small stones from the current location, is stored in a warehouse in Loarre and will be exhibited in a laboratory museum in the future.

Moreno-Azanza revealed that the exhibition will be an additional part of the Museum of Natural Sciences at the University of Zaragoza and will showcase artifacts from the Loarre site as well as dinosaur egg replicas from various countries.
The process of excavation is funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology of Portugal, in collaboration with the support of the Ministry of Science of Spain.
