[A great auk egg]
This egg is one of the most valuable and the oldest in the Natural History Museum’s
behind-the-scenes egg collection. An oologist called Robert Champley found it in the
Museum of Anatomy in Pavia, Italy. It was covered in dirt and stored in a wooden
cup. It’s covered in wiggly lines that make it look like a toddler has attacked it with a

felt tip.
