Some Science Stuff

I found three interesting dinosaur-related articles on the Discovery News website and wanted to pass on the links for those interested in paleo or who have kids who are dinosaur nuts.

March 18 2008 - "Mummified Dino Uncovered -- Skin and All"

April 11 2008 - "Dino-Era Feathers Trapped in Ancient Amber"

April 24 2008 - "From T. Rex to Chicken: The Dino-Bird Connection"


As we have been listening to the bird calls on CD the children have noticed that birds are grouped together into families (cuckoos, owls, herons, and so on). Leah asked me what was the very first bird. Good question, Leah. So headed to the library for a dino book that included info on Archaeopteryx. The librarian recommended Eyewitness Books Dinosaur. Leah loves her new dinosaur book and sleeps with it under her pillow!
