** Dinosaur skull has evidence of tumour
" I wasn't looking for a tumour," Larson said from his Black Hills
laboratory Wednesday. "I was cleaning the brain case, looking for a fissure
to open up
the braincase to make a mold."
** Teeth, scales and T-rex tales...
Kroenke has spent millions (though it won't specify exact figures) on
assembling what it claims is the largest collection of fossils ever seen in
the Rocky Mountain region
** Stop at Wyalusing Rocks yields fossil find
"I thought to myself, 'Well, that's either a fossil, a fish fossil, or it's
bird doo,'" said Elick, an assistant professor of geological and
environmental sciences at Susquehanna University
** Feature Site: The Basics of Dinosaur Reconstruction
Inferring dinosaur morphology from from fossil bones is a process as complex
and fascinating as dinosaurs themselves
** Carnegie Museum of Natural History receives a $5 million donation

** Utah Excursions: Dinosaur Ah! Torium is impressive
The finding of these remarkable dilophosaurus and coelophysis dinosaur
tracks is almost as remarkable as the fact that Sheldon Johnson, owner of
the area, did everything possible including donating a parcel of land to
save the tracks
** Ancient Lizard-Like Reptiles Found
It was a scorching afternoon in the South American summer when
paleontologist Sebastian Apesteguia found what he wasn't looking for: the
90-million-year-old fossilized remains of sharp-beaked reptiles
** Fossil could be backbone of man's beginnings
It was a funny little chap, different from the rest, so Ross Fargher, a
Flinders Ranges station owner with a keen eye for fossils, did what any
Australian would do
** Mutant Pollen Clue To Ancient Fallout
The pollen dates from about the time of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction
event, which killed off more than 90 percent of the world's animals, but
evidence of its impact on living things has been largely from marine
environments: the new discovery is among the first to reveal how a major
group of land plants reacted
** The Monster of the Troy Vase: Fossil Discoveries in Classical Antiquity
** The result of the 3rd International Contest of Dinosaur Illustration
(ICDI 2003)
