**  Gnawed to the bone
Dinosaurs are big business, especially in a country like Russia where
controls are lax and corruption is widespread

**  If T. rex fell, how did it get up, given its tiny arms and low center of
gravity?
Several theories, including some regarding the arms' role in raising these
animals from the ground, have long been kicked around

**  Prehistoric pine mystery solved
A small stand of this pine hidden away in the Wollemi wilderness has
survived ice ages, dinosaurs, the ravages of fire and even the breaking up
of the continents

**  Valley of the dinosaurs
Strangely, I am not the only person in the world for whom spending two weeks
on hands and knees in a desert constitutes having a good time

**  They're runaround Sues
Her popularity is such that three plastic Sue replicas attract similar
numbers to their own displays in museums and public locations in big cities
and small towns across the country

**  Rocky Roads
Paleontologist Michael Novacek finds fame - and dinosaur bones - in
far-flung places
