In 1993 during field work in the Gobi, scientists from the American Museum of
Natural History discovered an embryo fossilized inside an egg identical to Colgate's.
This revealed a big surprise -- that the egg depositor was not Protoceratops,
as Andrews had presumed, but rather the meat-eating dinosaur, Oviraptor philoceratops!
