The construction workers were working on a construction of a secondary school when they saw a group of oval-shaped rocks on the ground where they were using explosives.

The workers found several black debris measuring 2mm thick lodged between oval stones. Workers recognized the oval stones as dinosaur eggs and reported the find to the authorities.
