** The way of the dinosaur
Even I was impressed by mamenchisaurus jingyanensis (how Chinese a name is
that?), standing 28m (two bus-lengths) long in its late Jurassic days
(before it was just a bag of bones) weighing in at 50 tonnes, about the
weight of eight elephants.
** New exhibit at The Science Center of Connecticut features prehistoric
past
Dinosaur fans will have a lot to sink their teeth into this year at the
Science Center of Connecticut, which is hosting a succession of major
exhibits on prehistoric creatures
** A Taste for Dinosaurs
As long as dinosaurs roamed the earth, our distant ancestors never got to be
much more than cringing, shrew-like creatures that slinked out at night to
nibble timorously on plants and insects when the terrible lizards were
asleep
** New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Fossil Collection
online
** Triassic / Jurassic Symposium Art Show
** "Hatching the Past" at the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, Va.

Thank you for an interesting, useful site. I recommend it to teachers who
continue to contact me after 6 years of retirement. I also volunteer at the
