Fossilised egg could be linked to ancient marine peptile

A 68-million-year-old fossilized egg was discovered on Seymour Island in Antarctica. Research suggests it may belong to a marine reptile called Mossessar. The egg, with a soft shell, measures 29 cm in length and 20 cm in width, making it the second largest recorded. Mosesars, marine reptiles from the dinosaur era, possibly practiced Ovo viviparity, a reproduction method where eggs hatch immediately after being laid. Mosesars are part of the squamates order, which includes lizards and snakes, and diverged from dinosaurs, birds, and crocodiles around 240 million years ago.
