We've got Spheroolithid eggs (from Lambeosaurine dinosaurs) and bones coming out of our newest egg site "Double Yolk"!

The bones all seem to come from the skeleton of an individual that's about a year old. It's a very uncommon growth stage!

On July 13, 1923, American explorer, adventurer, and paleontologist, Roy Chapman Andrews, was the first person in the world to discover dinosaur eggs, in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Originally thought to belong to Protoceratops, the eggs were later determined to be from the theropod Oviraptor.

Throwback Thursday: Sauropod Eggs

One of the things that always captured the imagination are baby dinosaurs. For a very long time, we knew next to nothing about dinosaur growth. In fact, they didn't even think babies could be preserved. It was a burning question: how did these terrible giants starts out life? In particular, how did an animal as large as a sauropod start out life?

In 1859, Roman Catholic priest, Father Jean-Jacques Pouech found the answer while exploring the geology of the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. Here is what he had to say about the find:

"The most remarkable are eggshell fragments of very great dimensions. At first, I thought that they could be integumentary plates of reptiles, but their constant thickness between two perfectly parallel surfaces, their fibrous structure, normal to the surfaces, and especially their regular curvature, definitely suggest that they are enormous eggshells, at least four times the volume of ostrich eggs."

However, this amazing find was overlooked by others and so he spent the rest of his life believing they were armadillo shell fragments. In 1989, though, the fragments were revisited and determined they were, in fact, dinosaur eggshell.

Tune in tomorrow for a look at Mamenchisaurus, the sauropod with the longest neck.

Is it just me, or does the Quaker Oats guy look quite handsome recently? Like they made him look less old than I remember.

They were found during the Asiatic expedition of Roy Champan Andrews in Mongolia not long before. The molds were sent to museums and scientific institutes all over the world.
