A group of researchers in Spain have managed to find hundreds of dinosaur eggs that are said to be over 67-million-years-old. These eggs were uncovered from a digging site in the Spanish province of Lleida, which were said to belong to the dinosaur species known as “sauropods”.
“Eggshells, eggs and nests were found in abundance and they all belong to dinosaurs, sauropods in particular,” group leader, Albert García Sellés told Spanish news agency SINC. “We had never found so many nests in the one area before”

Most recently, some researchers in Chechnya also claimed they’ve found giant dinosaur eggs. However most scientists said they were fake. So, the validity of these findings are not quite 100% accurate at the moment. People these days does the craziest things to get a little attention.
