The Explorers' Club, № CMLXIV

Operation AXIOM: Between the Wars
13 July 1923: The discovery of dinosaur egg fossils—An expedition led by Roy Chapman Andrews (1884-1960), searching Mongolia for fossil evidence of an Asiatic origin for modern humans (the weight of evidence today suggsts an African origin), discovered the first nests of fossilized dinosaur eggs; originally thought to be Protoceratops, the eggs were positively identified as Oviraptor in 1995.

Commentary: This episode is "The Explorers' Club" at it's most foundational level: the physical exploration of God's Creation. So are all of our "The Space Race"/"The Space Age" posts, but I'm especially glad to bring such light to the usually darker fare of "Between the Wars."
