Oviraptor eggs and such

[Ralph Chapman <MNHAD002@SIVM.SI.EDU>]

The Oviraptor eggs were what used to be called Protoceratops eggs. There
apparently was never any real association between Protoceratops and the
eggs except that juveniles were known of Protoceratops and it was the
most abundant dinosaur known and gosh there were a lot of eggs. I hope
every teacher uses this as an excellent example of the dangers of
assuming associations using historical data based solely on abundance
data. Gave Oviraptor a bad rap though - the eggs were associated with
the wrong end of the animal. Sorry.

Now as far as the Smithsonian - anyone who works here knows it really
is an Institution. Nuff said.
