Accordingly, old farmer named Chu Thien Nghia, who lived in a small county near the mountains in Hubei, China. His family has been involved in the cultivation of fruit trees for many generations. Because of owning a large land area left by his father, plus Mr. Chu’s hard work, his family’s life is also well-off.
Accidentally dug Stone strange shape
In the mid-1990s, Mr. Chu bought more land to expand the scale of growing sweet mandarin varieties. It was also at the time of digging for new tangerine varieties that Mr. Chu accidentally dug up stones with extremely strange shapes, these stones were round or oval, rather than having different colors.

Mr. Chu felt very curious about what kind of stone this was, so when a merchant came to the garden to buy fruit, he quickly brought it out and asked these people. The merchants didn’t know what it was after seeing it, but the shape and color were quite strange, it looked like eggs, so a few traders wanted to buy this number back at a low price. 0.6 yuan (about 2000 thousand VND) a stone for collection.
Mr. Chu quickly agreed and sold all the stones he dug to traders. The story later became known to many people in the district, some of whom secretly pulled together to dig and sell these stones. But because of the large number of stones found, the sudden expansion of the trade attracted the attention of the police.
Confirming that the stone had many irregularities, the police collected this “stone” sample and sent it to the department in charge of highly specialized assessment. Here, the expert quickly confirmed the “identity” of the “stones”.

As it turned out, all the “stones” found in Mr. Chu’s tangerine garden were actually dinosaur egg fossils dating back tens of millions of years, extremely valuable and of great value to the world. scientists today. Based on the number of excavations, this area must be a population of dinosaur egg fossils.
Immediately after confirming the information, many experts were present at the scene to conduct surveys and search. However, soon after knowing that Mr. Chu had sold a large number of dinosaur fossils for 2,000 VND a “piece”, many experts had to say that it was too unfortunate.
What makes many experts “sorry” the most is that it is not possible to recover the entire number of fossil dinosaur eggs after that because traders have “transferred” to many different people, some of which have been lost. completely destroyed in the process. Moreover, the people’s “brutal” mining and searching causes these eggs to be greatly damaged.

In the world, there was a Tyrannosaurus skeleton that was auctioned by the Chicago Museum for a record price of more than 8 million USD (more than 170 billion VND). Other fossils related to dinosaurs have also been paid very high prices. However, that’s also why many “scammers” intentionally buy and organize themselves into “black markets” and sell them to rich giants. This has had a huge impact on scientists and museums as they cannot afford the fossils anymore because of the high price tag.

In China today, the trade of dinosaur fossils is always strictly regulated, requiring many different types of certifications. The trading behavior of Mr. Chu and many people violated the law, but considering that Mr. Chu and the traders did not know that this was a dinosaur egg fossil, they were later exempted from responsibility.
