Animal Hour
In the script and the novelization, Dallas finds an open egg. He doesn't realize what it is. It just looks like an urn to the expedition members.

In the script, the "urn" is near the pilot. (In the novelization, IIRC,

there

is **no** pilot.)

I wonder why the open egg isn't in the movie.

That's a good point. Both stories are a little ambiguous - why would there be just one egg in the cockpit, threatening the pilot, when there rest are all in the hold. Or, if there is no egg in the cockpit, how did one of the facehuggers get out of its egg and out of the hold to say hello to the SJ when the rest all remain in hibernation - forced by the SJ or otherwise?

The eggs were all on the lower Deck/hold. They all appeared laid to be in a fairly orderly fashion, under the fog. There are no eggs in the area of the pilot.
