A fossil that looks like a deflated football has turned out to be the world's second-largest egg and could be that of an ancient giant marine reptile. 9News

A fossil that looks like a deflated football has turned out to be the world's second-largest egg and could be that of an ancient giant marine reptile.

The fossilised egg - measuring 29cm by 20 cm - is only slightly smaller than eggs of Madagascar's giant flightless elephant birds that went extinct only in the past several centuries, scientists say. "This new egg is the very first fossil egg from Antarctica, and the largest soft-shelled egg ever discovered," said University of Texas palaeontologist Lucas Legendre, lead author of the research published in the journal Nature.

Indonesian court finds three Papuan anti-racism protesters guilty of treasonAn Indonesian court found three Papuan men guilty of treason on Wednesday in a high-profile trial closely watched as an indicator of political freedoms in the world's third-largest democracy. One of many that is happening now and still to come, showing that any kind of FREEDOM of speech gone. The innocent jailed the guilty set free. This is a disgrace like European Australians, such as PM ScoMo, trying to assimilate the pure blood indigenous Australians as European Australians when they don't even look the same. The Papuans don't look like Indonesians! democracy by police :D
