in Thailand, has whipped palaeontologists up to fever pitch
** Feature Site: Liaoning Diorama
Long-extinct dinosaurs share the landscape with unusual plants, large
insects and unfamiliar mammals
** Dinosaurs going vegetarian
The 120 million-year-old creature unearthed in east-central Utah appears to
be a therapod captured in time just after "it went vegetarian," said Dr.
John Foster, curator of palaeontology for the Museum of Western Colorado
** Feature Dino Art Portfolio: Jordan Mallon
Inspired by the likes of Greg Paul, Mark Hallett, Michael Skrepnick, Douglas
Henderson, and Brian Franczak (among others), I've strived over the years to
improve upon my own artwork and to make it as true-to-life as possible.
** Study supports dino museum
Good news for backers of a dinosaur museum in north-western Alberta
** Access to the Bone Cellar
Building work connected with the refurbishment of parts of the permanent
exhibition in the museum means that the bone cellar which houses much of the
Tendaguru Dinosaur material, other dinosaur remains from Germany and large
bones from the fossil mammal collection, must be closed immediately and will
not be accessible until the start of 2006 at the earliest.

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
local science museum and recommend your site to the many children who visit
it.
