An unusual agate from the British Museum turned out to be a dinosaur egg. British scientists have found that an unusual spherical piece of agate from India, kept in the Natural History Museum in London since the 1880s, is actually a dinosaur egg almost 60 million years old. The discovery was made using computed tomography. Scientists suggest that the egg fell into the area of the volcanic eruption and was covered with lava. After that, for hundreds of years, silicates were gradually washed out of the eggshell and agate was formed.
