I knew there was eggshell in the Maastrichtian North Horn Formation, but I was unaware of the nests. Eggshell is pretty widespread in all Utah's dinobearing formations Jur-up. I had thought Lindsay Zanno big nest in upper Cedar Mt. First Utah nests.. youtu.be/D3_BDvjgyiQ?si…

Last night, as the northern lights danced across America, something beautiful happened. We all looked up, not as divided individuals, but simply as people united in wonder and awe. At that moment, differences faded into the magic of the sky. It was a pure, human experience.

Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry. The Burpee Museum team will be giving quarry tours Mon-Sat the weeks of May 13, May 20, June 3, June 10, and June 17, 2024. This is probably the largest single dino site in North America, DINO X 200. Worth a special trip! blm.gov/announcement/d…

I would not go so far as this, but I would require a course on Fundamental Life Hacks, that includes sections on Civics & Earth systems.

I was asked yesterday about an ornthopod tracksite on an ATV trail..turns out that it is on Lockley's basal Oxfordian Moab Megatracksite surface, but way east of any site we had record of (near Colorado River) pretty nice tracks. Unofficial interpreted site, apparently. Bureau of Land Management Utah

The age of Santa Ana, however, could be anything from Berriasian to Albian, but what makes Domeykodactylus interesting is that it might be a dsungaripterid, a bizarre and enigmatic group of pterosaurs otherwise only known from Asia.

Lots of people have a hard time getting their head around the fact, that if, global warming melts the Greenland Icecap, light freshwater will over wealm the warming Gulf Stream freezing Europe as it goes into equilibrium with its latitude.

ニューメキシコ最終日!
Naashoibitosaurusです!
クリトサウルス系では間違いなく最も保存状態が良い標本ですね。このグループの分類は色々と課題が多いのですが、いい感じに解決していきたいですねー
