I triple-checked last night... in the "At the Museum" section of the
October issue of Natural History, I found a paragraph:

     As part of the museum's 125th anniversary, an exhibition of
     selected artifacts, specimens and memorabilia from the museum's
     collections will open on friday, October 14th in Birds of the
     World Hall.  The displays will include a mounted lion ...
     dinosaur eggs discovered in Mongolia by paleontologist Walter
     Granger during the museum's Central Asiatic Expeditions in the
     1920's; and the recent discovery by museum scientists in Mongolia
     of the remains of the dinosaur-like Mononykus, a possible link
     between birds and theropod dinosaurs.

The wording isn't terribly clear, but it sure sounds like they were
going to present the remains.  I don't know how they could exhibit the
discovery...
