The discovery has delighted archaeologists globally after it was revealed the embryos remained inside the eggs in Argentine Patagonia, at a site called Auca Mahuevo, near Aguada San Roque.

Initially, it is claimed they are similar to those unearthed in 1997 in Auca Mahuída hill.

The finding, which was reported several years ago by a local goat and sheep farmer, was made public this week during a conference by Neuquén provincial director of Cultural Heritage, Claudia Della Negra.
