The farm was a common place to find various kinds of plants and animals, but on that unassuming day, Nievas stumbled across something that he had never encountered in his line of work and completely left him in a state of shock and wonder.
2. Finding a Foreign Object
Jose Antonio Nievas’ farm was located in Carlos Spegazzini, a city about located 25 miles (40 km) south of Buenos Aires. It was during his stroll when he passed a stream on his property and something striking caught his eye.

Unassumingly wedged in the bank of the stream was a large, rounded object that he initially thought looked like a giant stone. However, as he approached the item, he realized that it was in fact not a large rock.
3. Not What it Seemed
As he got closer, Nievas observed that it was in fact not a stone at all. The strange object was partly covered in mud and he couldn’t determine what it was. As he tried to clear the grime off of the round object, he started to associate it with something else.
4. Calling for Assistance
Nieves attempted for some time to dig the mystifying object out of the mud and clean it to get a better look. Nonetheless, he was having trouble dislodging it from the riverbank and needed another pair of helping hands to assist.
