  Papers by Mikhailov on Gobi eggs in Russian and
Polish journals (Acta Pal. Pol., Pal. Zhurn.), by
Hirsch and others in _JVP_ and other journals, the
book _Dinosaur Eggs and Babies_ (Hirsch et al., eds.)
and the new Carpenter (Farlow, ed.) _Eggs, Nests, and
Baby Dinosaurs_. These should be illuminating.

  Dinosaurs are horrible, terrible creatures! Even the
  fluffy ones, the snuggle-up-at-night-with ones. You think
  they're fun and sweet, but watch out for that stray tail
  spike! Down, gaston, down, boy! No, not on top of Momma!
