Fossil hunters say they have discovered bones of two massive meat-eating

Knowledge of Africa's Cretaceous world started with the pioneering work of 
French and German palaeontologists, but their work, often conducted alone 
and on camelback, was fragmentary

**  Not Dinos But - Primitive bat fossil settles sonar dispute
The discovery of the most primitive bat species known to date has settled a 
long running dispute about how their unique features evolved

**  Fossil from Liaoning flies into evolutionary history
This is an exciting find because it's "the smallest pterosaur, which lived 
in trees, the smallest toothless pterosaur and the smallest Cretaceous 
pterosaur found in the world"

**  Discovery Channel to feature MSU's Jack Horner

**  Site of Interest - eBay
If you have never done it before visit eBay's Dinosaur and Reptile fossils 
section.

**  Feature Site - Microraptor on Nova
Microraptor might have been a primitive relict of the ancestral form living 
side-by-side with a full-fledged flier like the crow-sized Confuciusornis, 
just as modern lemurs retain the primitive body plan of our distant primate 
ancestors

**  Is Dinosaur National Monument's staff going the way of its namesakes?
Some palaeontologists worry that the cuts will erode a core mission and 
possibly endanger some of the world's most famous bones

**  U. scientists say species discovery puts Mexico on the dinosaur map
Mexico has been terra incognita for dinosaurs for years, but that is rapidly 
changing after a multinational team led by University of Utah scientists 
extracted a skeleton from a quarry outside Saltillo and assembled a skull of 
striking singularity - a hatchet-faced, duck-billed specimen whose elongated 
nasal passages could have emitted a Cretaceous love song

**  Other Fossil News - Scientists say 80 million-year-old fossil may be 
missing link to modern crocodiles
The fossil of the 5.5-foot-long predator was found in 2004 near the small 
city of Monte Alto, 215 miles northwest of Sao Paulo
