Ancient Animal Shell
Ancient creatures seem to be one of the top finds in people’s backyards. When Jose Antonio Nievas, a farmer from Argentina was out for a walk on Christmas day, he spotted what looked like a giant dinosaur egg on a farm near Buenos Aires. Nievas first called his wife and told her that he may have stumbled upon a dinosaur egg but the experts had something else to say.
Apparently, it belonged to a glyptodont, a prehistoric ancestor of the armadillo. These guys weighed as much as 4000 pounds and could reach a length of over five feet. Guess that made his Christmas very exciting!
