And here's a short piece from the September 2020 issue of the magazine

in the section called Advances

from the Frontiers of Science, Technology and Medicine.

The article is titled Quick Hits, and it's a rundown of some stories from around the globe.

From Argentina, the earliest dinosaurs laid soft-shelled eggs, paleontologists say. A new chemical analysis of a more than 200 million-year-old

fossilized egg from Patagonia and a clutch of more recent eggs from Mongolia found in the

goby desert revealed a thin film matching the characteristics of modern soft-shelled eggs.

From England, archaeologists found that 20 deep shafts, previously thought to be natural sinkholes and ponds, were dug by Neolithic humans.

The shafts form a circle two kilometers in diameter, with the Durrington Wall's monument at its
