In a scene that seemed straight out of the movie Jurassic Park, a Polish man has been detained by Siberian customs officials after a dinosaur egg was discovered in his vehicle.
The man was travelling from Mongolia through Russia, and besides the prehistoric egg, he was found to be transporting a mammoth's tusk and a mysterious rock crystal.
As is often the case, the detained man claimed to be utterly ignorant of the nature of his cargo. He told the customs officers that a friend had simply asked him to take some boxes to Poland.
