with bite!
This Week's Headlines: (For the FULL STORY visit the NEWS section of the 
webzine at this address: http://www.dinosaurnews.org )

**  Fossil hunting is in his bones
Along the way, the painfully humble, slightly stooped collector has become a 
paradox - one of the nation's foremost palaeontologists who isn't a 
palaeontologist, an amateur whose work dwarfs that of professionals

**  Running with the dinosaurs - a review
The argentinosaur and the giganotosaur, two of the lesser-known dinosaur 
breeds, are given special attention and their sheer power and size makes 
them impressive leading characters

**  The Oldest Crop
The amateur dinosaur hunters have angered academia, and palaeontologists 
complain that the ranchers and farmers - and the handful of fossil companies 
they usually hire to do the prospecting - are destroying valuable specimens 
with clumsy handling

**  Meet Nipponosaurus, the 1st dinosaur fossil in Japan
It was not until the latter half of the 1970s that palaeontologists began 
excavating fossils in the Japanese archipelago

**  Land of the Giants
Some 130 years ago, 33-year-old Arthur Lakes - a sometimes-palaeontologist 
and itinerant Episcopal preacher whose flock was scattered from Bergen Park 
to Fairplay - dug up something unusual on an unremarkable lip of the Hogback 
near Morrison

**  Kitchen science reveals dinosaurs died in agony
A dinosaur mystery that puzzled palaeontologists for nearly a century has 
been solved by a pound of beef tendons from a butcher, a collection of dead 
hawks and a brace of frozen quail

**  The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate to Support Dinosaur Excavation on 
Svalbard
The fossilized skeleton of one of the world's largest prehistoric predators 
was found on the far northern island of Svalbard last year

**  Carnegie exhibit features 'colossal' dino-skeletons
The 150-million-year-old, long-necked dinosaur - measuring 84 feet from its 
stubby nose to the tip of its whip-like tail - will become the centrepiece 
of the natural history museum's $36 million Dinosaurs in Their World exhibit

**  Museum of Rockies dinosaur complex opens
The complex houses the exhibit Dinosaurs Under the Big Sky, based on the 
work of world-renowned palaeontologist and adviser to the Jurassic Park 
films, Jack Horner.

**  Dinosaur bones
The Wyoming Dinosaur Centre's much anticipated display of the Thermopolis 
Specimen of Archaeopteryx will open for public viewing on Thursday

**  Old bones stand tall at airport
Will Grewe-Mullins drives out to the airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta 
International Airport, and finds the 33-foot-long Yangchuanosaur skeleton 
standing between two trees in the atrium of the north terminal

**  A slow, clumsy beast - how T. rex lost his crown
Research suggests that, far from being the Ferrari of dinosaurs, the T. rex, 
whose ferocious reputation has fascinated generations of school children, 
was in fact a cumbersome creature with a maximum running speed of 15-25mph - 
a mere snail's pace compared with modern animals such as the cheetah

**  Jurassic Journey
Among Dinosaur Journey's skeletal casts, mounts and original fossils is the 
reconstructed, 18-foot-tall right forelimb of the plant-eating behemoth 
brachiosaurus altithorax

**  Dinosaur Field School Spots Still Available

**  Dinosaur Field School Blog
The Dinosaur Field School Blog from Cincinnati Museum Centre (US) is gearing 
back up to follow the work of both professional and volunteer 
palaeontologists on an active dig in Southern Montana.

Thank you for an interesting, useful site. I recommend it to teachers who
