Giant Eggs of Dinosaur Found in Mongolia

Peking…..Above is shown Roy Chapman Andrews, zoologist and hunter, who was in charge of The Third Asiatic Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, which has just returned here after five months on the Mongolian Plains. The specimens brought back by the expedition are declared to be the most interesting in recent years. Giant eggs, five or six inches long and proven to be those of dinosaurs of ten million years ago, are among the principal specimens. The prehistoric and colossal reptiles had nests just like ordinary fowl of the present era. The expedition is bringing back also about nine tons of fossils, comprising 72 skulls and twelve complete skeletons of these “terrible lizards” as the two Greek words forming the term “dinosaur” describe them.

Another beautiful day in Calgary

At the beginning of the week I was in Seattle, and it was warm and green. Today I'm back in Calgary where it's bleak and snowing slush. Dinny looks about how I feel right now. Well, only a couple of months till spring... if it remembers to come this year.
