The giant raptor, found in Argentina, measured between 16.5 and 21 feet (5 to 6.5 meters) long, making it one of the largest raptors to roam Earth 70 million years ago, a new study finds. A dramatic new carnivorous dinosaur that was bigger than a car was unveiled yesterday in public at the Bernardino Rivadavia Museum of Natural History in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The incomplete fossil skeleton was unearthed in Patagonia and was identified as a new species of dromaeosaur, or birdlike dinosaur, a group that includes Velociraptors. Christened Austroraptor cabazai, this specimen ...

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0002808. Some of you might remember a paper published in Science that rocked the paleontological world by revealing that a broken thigh bone from Tyrannosaurus rex contained soft tissue. When this soft tissue was analyzed, it was identified as collagen from the blood vessels and, because it was found inside a dinosaur fossil, it was assumed to be ancient dinosaur tissue. Analysis of the protein sequence of this collagen indicated that chicken...

Discovered in 2006, a near-perfect complete skeleton of a juvenile Tarbosaurus find was made available for public viewing for the first time today by the Hayashibara Museum of Natural Science in Okayama, western Japan. This fossil was originally unearthed from a chunk of sandstone in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia by a team of Mongolian and Japanese researchers. The fossil of the young dinosaur is roughly 70 million years old (from the late Cretaceous period) and is the first time that this species has been found "totally intact".

Something about evolution in public is always a good thing. And then, amazingly, on the way home, while waiting for my connecting flight in Denver, I had a dinosaur moment there too. In Denver, there was some floor art that was some small embedded sculptures (mostly of dinosaurs) in the floor in the terminal. Maybe there is something I do not know here --- do all airports have to have something about dinosaurs?This is from the "Tree of Life" blog ( http://phylogenomics.blogspot.com ) of Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Davis.

Image: Dinosaur Collector Triceratops are among the most recognizable dinosaurs because of their distinct appearance. They had a large and elaborate bony shield around their head and the horns that jut out from the top of their head and nose like spears, and because of the bony knobs on their cheeks. Because these large structures are energetically expensive to grow, they had to serve a purpose and this purpose was likely the establishment of social hierarchies. Thus, these ornaments provide circumstantial evidence that these dinosaurs lived in groups because such structures could have been used in visual displays. But which evolved first, social behavior or elaborate ornamentation? Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post... (Source: Living the Sc...

Velociraptors were small dinosaurs, weighing only about 15kg and approximnately 1.5m long. Image: M. Elison, AMNH. [larger view] According to a research paper that was published late last week, the Velociraptor probably had feathers. A closer look at a fossil Velociraptor ulna (forearm) that was found in Mongolia in 1998 revealed a series of small bumps along its length. These bumps are known as "quill knobs" because they are found in most modern birds where they function as attachment points where secondary flight feathers are attached to the bone with ligaments. The quill knobs are especially prominent in strong fliers, while gliding birds and those that have lost the ability...

I used to play video games. Not for a while now, but years ago I downloaded Doom from the internet (you could not buy it over the counter) and jolly good fun it was too. I do not think I was psychologically damaged by it, but who knows. I also had a copy of something called Duke Nukem but I never managed to get that running properly.The British Board of Film Classification has recently decided to ban a new game, Manhunt 2, because of its “unremitting bleakness and encouragement of casual sadism.”Rockstar Games trail the game in the following way:One chance.
