Dinosaur Egg Smuggler Caught in Dalian

DALIAN (Jan. 17) XINHUA - Customs officials in the coastal city of
Dalian in northeast China's Liaoning Province recently nabbed a man who
attempted to smuggle a fossilized dinosaur egg to Japan. 

The smuggler, who is Japanese, stowed the egg in his luggage on a flight
to Fukuoka, Japan, and was stopped at Zhoushuizi International Airport.
Customs also found a piece of bird fossil in the luggage. 

Archeologists verified that the egg fossil was that of a dinosaur. 

The case is still under further investigation.
