** New bones to pick in Kansas City
Visitors can pick up a "bone phone" to ask Christopher questions, assemble
models of dinosaurs and view fossils under microscopes
** Dinosaur's soft tissue 'is cool stuff'
Some of those tissues - undiscovered until recently - studied at the
molecular level may give new insights into how dinosaurs lived and evolved,
whether they were cold-blooded and how they might be related to modern
animals
** Palaeontologists examining pipeline construction discover bones of
largest dinosaurs
Called an open trench inspection, their job was to look for arrowheads,
bones or other historical artefacts that would - under the Historical
Preservation Act - require Kinder Morgan to remove them before finishing its
section of the Rockies Express Pipeline
** Not Dinos But: 'Monster' fossil find in Arctic
Norwegian scientists have discovered a "treasure trove" of fossils belonging
to giant sea reptiles that roamed the seas at the time of the dinosaurs.

** Academy of Natural Sciences shows off its "precious gems"
The towering Giganotosaurus standing on the front desk of Philadelphia's
Academy of Natural Sciences is as big as a SEPTA bus
** Growing Legacy
When Marshall Felch stumbled across his first dinosaur bones in 1877, he
could not have known his find eventually would lead to international fame
and scientific advancement
** Last meal was Primitive Crocodile
In one specimen, the Museum scientists found that the carnivorous dinosaur's
last meal was a primitive crocodile, not a dinosaur of any kind, let alone a
Coelophysis; in the second specimen, the new analysis shows that the remains
identified as a last meal actually are located outside the larger animal's
ribcage and are possibly too large to have been eaten whole
** Utah and China dinosaur bones share ancient connection
Even when digging for dinosaurs in the sweltering summer heat of Utah's
badlands, Jim Kirkland's thoughts often drift to China
** Dinosaur author to give away fossils
Dinosaur buffs sifting through the shelves at bookstores and libraries may
unearth several new specimens this fall
** The New Old One
Dinosaur enthusiasts gathered at the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park to
witness the unveiling of a creature the park manager says is a cross between
a reptile and an ostrich
** Dino hunter believes more bones just waiting to be found
Like a fisherman who just knows there are still fish practically begging to
be caught, Peter Dodson has faith in a vast and undiscovered supply of
dinosaur bones

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.
