Discovery
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) SYDNEY, Sept. 13. What is believed could be a dinosaur’s egg has been uncovered on a sheep station in Queensland. The “egg” is about 20in long, Ilin wide and Sin deep. The manager of Tregoning station, 15 miles south of Morven, said .the object was perfectly eggshaped and smooth. It was unearthed about 3ft below ground level by a bulldozer driver. Identification has not been completed, although the director of the Queensland Museum has suggested the chances of it being a dinosaur’s egg were almost nil. So far dinosaur eggs have been found only in two places in the world, in Mongolia and in the south of France.
