Geologists in southern India say they have found hundreds of dinosaur egg clusters which could be about 65 million years old.

It was a chance find discovered when a team of scientists were locating a place to excavate an ancient riverbed in the state of Tamil Nadu.

As they dug deeper they saw layers of what looked like fossilised eggs.

The photos and samples were then sent to various universities who confirmed that they were dinosaur eggs.

Each egg is the size of a football - about 13 to 23cm in diameter, lying buried in sandy nests.

Think I am due for a visit to the Museum Of Natural History to check out the Dinosaurs, it's been a while (and they've restored the giant blue whale! (which I REALLY want to see)

Interesting article, I wonder - do you think some time in the distant future that the relics of our society will be discovered in such a manner?

Ya, when someone hits a payload of single serving yogurt cups, they'll be writing a thesis on the life and times of the Yoplait Tribe..............
