A dinosaur egg weighing more than five kilograms (11 pounds) and measuring 30 centimetres in diameter has been found in western India, government officials said.
The egg was discovered by telecom workers digging in the town of Balasinor, in the south of Gujarat state. “Two feet from the ground, we struck an oblong stone. On breaking the stone, a football-sized egg was found. It is white with some orange spots on it,” said M.P. Patel, sub-divisional officer of the telecom department. Tara Mukundan, a collector from Kheda district, said officials from the Archaelogical Survey of India will collect the egg. “They will now come and take a look at the egg. By the description given to me, I am sure it is a dinosaur egg,” he told AFP.
Mukundan said that the egg probably dated back to the Jurassic age as other eggs had been found in the vicinity from the period.

Kind of hard to get DNA from a stone fossil.
