Charlie Magovern discovered the only hatchling dinosaur
ever found articulated, with its bones aligned as they were in
life. It also has the distinction of being the only dinosaur
hatchling ever discovered at 2 a.m.

"I was working late one night in my preparation laboratory
in Boulder, Colorado on a large block of eggs from central China
that I had purchased from a group of Chinese Geologists,"
Magovern recounts. "I knew the block contained at least
four giant dinosaur eggs, each about 18 inches in length. I noticed
what appeared to be a few bone fragments in the chisel gouges
left by the crude Chinese excavation. I could not sleep until
I confirmed that this was something more than wishful thinking.
After two more hours of careful cleaning and inspection in this
miniature dig site, I had outlined what appeared to be a tibia
or perhaps a femur.
