_Deinonychus_ eggs?

["Jerry D. Harris" <dinogami@hotmail.com>]

Hi All -

  I'm perusing the abstracts volume from the Graves symposium, and I note 
that in Chiappe & Grellet-Tinner's abstract on the use of eggshell 
microstructure in ascertaining avian origins (an idea I've had for a while 
-- nice to see someone going for it!) that they discuss the microstructure 
of _Deinonychus_ eggshell.  To wit:

"Furthermore, radiating aciculare mammillae, a synapomorphy shared by _D. 
antirrhopus and oviraptorids..."

I don't recall anyone announcing a find of _Deinonychus_ eggs.  Did I miss 
something???
