Jose Nievas, an ordinary Argentine farmer, was walking near his home when he came across an extremely unusual find. The huge, well-preserved artifact most closely resembled a dinosaur egg.
Jose went home, telling the whole city about the miraculous find on the way. Returning to the site, the farmer and his friends removed the top of the land and it turned out that the alleged egg is simply enormous.
Specialists from the local archaeological society arrived at the scene. They immediately realized that no dinosaur could bear an egg of this size.
It turned out that Jose was lucky enough to stumble upon the carapace of glyptodon, an ice age battleship
About ten thousand years ago, these animals spread en masse throughout South America. The dimensions of this battleship were roughly comparable to a small car.

Apparently, the beast died very young. Experts found holes in its strongest shell - only one of the relatives of the glyptodon could pierce such holes.
