  Trovants are rocks that grow by absorbing minerals from rainwater. Romania is home to a cluster of trovants that inspired folklore of dinosaur eggs, plant fossils and alien creations.

The article from MSN discusses Romania's Trovants, which are unique geological formations found in the village of Costești. These bulbous, living rocks are known for their ability to grow and multiply, resembling living organisms. They have inspired various folkloric tales, including stories of them being petrified remains of dinosaurs or even alien eggs. The Trovants are made of a hard stone core with an outer shell of sand, and when exposed to rain, they absorb water which causes them to expand and sometimes even "give birth" to smaller stones. This phenomenon has led to local legends and has attracted tourists and scientists alike, intrigued by their mysterious growth patterns and the natural processes behind them.
