Off to the Desert
But Andrews’ most famous adventures were his voyages into the Gobi Desert in the 1920s. At the time, Andrews discovered various complete dinosaur skeletons and also the biggest collection of mammals to ever be recovered in one single trip. He was actually one of the first historians to find conclusive evidence that mammals lived alongside dinosaurs.

A collection of dinosaur eggs he found in the Gobi Desert were arguably his best-known discovery. The public went crazy for these, much to Andrews’ annoyance. First of all, he wasn’t the first person to discover eggs; they were found decades earlier by a French priest. Plus, Andrews didn’t enjoy talking about it, claiming it’s a distraction from a more important discovery: the full skeleton of an oviraptor, who was there to steal the eggs.
