In the village of Narbulatovo, Gaysky District, fossils of impressive size, shaped like eggs, were found. First of all, those who found them turned to the Gaiskiy Museum, they promised to come, but for some reason they did not do it. Then they turned to the editors of the city website.
Residents of Narbulatovo are almost sure that this is a display of dinosaurs, a species of titanosaurs. The fossils were found near the village: literally a kilometer away, there is a quarry, where the rounded objects lay. According to Leniza Turobova (editor's note: her sister discovered the find), they brought the found objects home to show the children. And only then they decided to inform the public about it.

Our correspondents, who went to the place, were really surprised by what they saw: by touch, these are ordinary stones, if you knock on objects, they also resemble natural rocks, it is almost impossible to lift them. But the shape of the fossil is very similar to real eggs.
Find dimensions: 30 cm wide, 35 cm high.
Correspondents of Orsk.ru took one of the finds with them to the editorial office to show it to specialists. We invited the geologist Anatoly Nikiforov to look at the object. The specialist said that this is hardly a dinosaur egg. In any case, there have not been such finds in our area so far, although ancient reptiles did live in the area. Previously, scientists had occasion to find their calculations in Mongolia, the USA, etc. But the size of the eggs was much smaller.
-Inhabitants of the village of Narbulatovo found 99% sandy nodule - about 70 million years old. But 1% of the fact that these are still dinosaur eggs remains - Anatoly Nikiforov concluded.
