If you gotta pick stones to worship, you could do far worse than fossilized dinosaur eggs.

I wanted to ask how you got it to fossilize in just a week, but then I opened the post and it’s so intricate! Really awesome find :)

Crewman, 3 months ago in Larger-than-expected prehistoric mammal species uncovered in Patagonia

To summarize the new animal size -

Patagomaia chainko is described as medium-sized by today’s standards, around the size of an Andean fox, and the species was estimated to weigh 2-25 kg (4-51 lbs).

It is one of the largest mammals from the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago. Most mammals during that time were under 100g(.22 lbs), with few reaching 1kg(2.21 lbs).

Anyone that has the chance to go here should. They have decent lodging in the park as well. I really enjoyed my stay, the surrounding area was also nice too and lots of smaller caves that are privately owned to check out.
