More dinosaurs to come!

Since we returned from Rhode Island, I've not had much time to keep up with science news or pass along particularly interesting stories, but I just noticed this story at Scientific American's website, "Majority of Dinosaurs May Await Discovery." Personally, I call that a good enough reason to get out of the bed tomorrow morning.

Not really dinosaur related, but interesting... There was an article on BBC News yesterday about the melting permafrost in Siberia - very bad in terms of global warming, obviously, but the article pointed out that one side effect of this was that a large number of mammoth bones were being discovered (and possibly other remains of the same period as well, but mammoths seemed to be the focus).

It sort of ruined the excitement I felt at seeing these amazing mammoth bones on TV, knowing that their discoery was due to global warming.

Halloo, namesake! :) [livejournal.com profile] pkbarbiedoll suggested I might enjoy reading your blog (and books), so I came by, and agreed, so am adding you. Thought I'd be polite and say hi while doing so. :)
