What are these “balls” that we found in Uruguay?
15
We found a bunch of these balls across "Rio del Plata" in Montevideo or in the coast of Uruguay (Punta del Este).
There is a liquid in the ball. Also, it has a soft skin.

I do not think so. It is smaller than Breast implants. The size is a little bit more than a chicken egg. However, you describe very well, it looks like a Breast implant.

Could they be from kelp? Typically I would expect kelp balls to look a more like this but these might be some variety I'm not aware of.

It might be a large specimen of Valonia ventricosa, also called "bubble algae" or "sailor's eyeball".

I have searched by Valonia ventricosa and it looks like green. Is it right?
– Marcel P.
Mar 29 '17 at 12:33
V. ventricosa is photosynthetic (makes its own food from sunlight) and so is typically green when healthy, but can be a golden or brownish color when out of the sun for a few days.

Frankly, I doubt those are turtle eggs. There's no reason for eggs to have transparent skin.
