** Field dinosaur exhibit teaches, debunks myths
Recent research suggests T. rex more likely moved at speeds of 10 to 25
m.p.h.-faster than its prey, but probably not as fast as the speeding jeep
in "Jurassic Park."
** The Bone Collector
Fossil hunter, philanderer, oilman, spy: Barnum Brown dabbled in a
few dubious shenanigans while amassing the world's greatest cache of
ancient bones.
** Dinosaurs Alive! thundering into town
Scenes in the film include a velociraptor and a protoceratops in a fight to
the death, which occurs sooner than expected as a sand dune sweeps over them
and preserves their remains for modern-day scientists
** A fossil bonanza in Alberta
The energy-fueled development boom that has swept the province in recent
years has also spawned a bonanza for fossil hunters and historians
** Dinosaur Demise Didn't Spur Species
The big dinosaur extinction of 65 million years ago didn't produce a flurry
of new species in the ancestry of modern mammals after all, says a huge
study that challenges a long-standing theory

The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History
** Attention all Sauropod Researchers

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.
