Santiago: A team of scientists discovered a fossil equivalent to the size of a mysterious football in Antarctica in 2011 and named it 'The Thing'. This fossil was kept in the museum in Chile. The mysterious fossil has now been identified and it is being told that it is a soft-shell egg which was 68 million years ago. It is the second-largest egg in the world. It is likely that it is a type of extinct sea snake or lizard egg.
Scientists tried to solve this mystery for many years. In 2018, a palaeontologist suggested that it may be an egg, but a scan revealed that there were no skeletons within the egg. Then he suspected it to be a link with Mosasaur. Mosasaurs were giant lizards living in the Antarctic sea 66 million years ago. Mosasaur became extinct when the dinosaurs were extinct.
Alexander Vargas of the Biology Department of the University of Chile has reported that "Taking the hypothesis that it was a mosasaur, you can study the relationship between existing lizards and the size of their eggs and the size of their adult body Existing. Taking various data of that type, such as egg size vs adult, you make an equation and make an estimate of what the shape of the giant lizard that the egg is of Mosasaur. That it was an animal that was about seven meters to 17 meters long (23 to 56 feet) tall. Therefore, it could actually be a giant. "
