Perambalur ‘dinosaur eggs’ hatch as memes in social media

TRICHY: Though an experts team concluded that spherical and oval shaped sediments found in a tank in Kunnam town in Perambalur district of Tamil Nadu are not dinosaur eggs, netizens are in no mood to leave them. They ensured that the eggs hatched and spread in social media and instant messaging apps in the form of memes.
From Hollywood's Jurassic Park to Tamil Nadu’s jallikattu, the meme makers applied their creativity in picking concepts for humorously mocking the dinosaur eggs claim.
As memes are about utilising the trending topics to get more likes and page views, meme makers in central Tamil Nadu said that they capitalised on the #Perambalur #Dinosaur #JurassicPark hashtags.
Locals, however, took the humorous memes mocking them in a sportive manner. They claimed that such a focus will help people realise the significance of fossils being found in Perambalur and Ariyalur districts.
