Origins[]
Roy Chapman Andrews was an explorer whose quests into China and Mongolia to uncover proof that humans first evolved in Asia ended in the first fossilized dinosaur eggs to be brought to a museum. He was a supporter of the theory that mankind first evolved in Asia, in a time before better evidence came to disprove man’s birthplace as Africa. But, while in the Gobi Desert, he discovered bones of dinosaurs and even the fossilized eggs of some.
Effects[]
Rapid fossilization on the contact point of flesh, effectively replacing cells with minerals and turning that appendage into stone. The flesh is susceptible to breaking and shattering into pieces. The process is said to be extremely painful.
