Recent Dinosaur Discoveries In Utah And Wyoming "This is a one ton plant-eating carnivore with really bizarre claws," said [David] Gillette [of The Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff]. "It had slender arms and really long bones in the hand with bladed claws that look like sickles. With the sheath, the claws are about 15 inches long." [Science Daily] The team found a Hadrosaur with preserved skin as well. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southwest Utah is showing potential to be another productive fossil area in the state. 11:01:38 PM    comment   trackback []

Should Jenny Truncate Her RSS Feed? "If you're upset about the length of the post below in your news aggregator, be sure to vote in the Should Jenny Truncate Her RSS Feed sweepstakes. I'm still searching for a way to provide two feeds, one abridged (truncated) and one unabridged (the full monty) so that you, dear reader, can decide for yourself which style best suits you. Unfortunately, I lack the requisite knowledge to do this myself, and this may be the one situation that duct tape cannot resolve. Don't take this the wrong way, but you folks haven't been terribly helpful so far in making this decision for me, as earlier this evening the vote was evenly split at 50% for and 50% against. Sigh. Don't make me pull this car over.... (Actually, I really do appreciate those who have taken the time to vote!)" [The Shifted Librarian] Sorry Jenny, but I didn't help much this morning. After 44 votes it is still evenly split. 6:42:43 AM    comment   trackback []
