Paleo digest: slow-breaking news

[cambro]

I'm at the point in tonight's insomnia where I'm unlikely to accomplish any more real work, so I'm going to try something I've been meaning to do: post interesting paleontology tidbits I've picked up in grad school, for you benighted types who don't have access to The Literature

I. Like. Dinosaurs.

[cambro]

Crap. These are all dinosaur-related stories, aren't they? I guess it's a little harder to make fossil invertebrates seem sexy.

Mmm...virtually fresh-looking sturgeon...

[cambro]

You should try the virtually-fresh-looking caviar.

As a representative of people, I'd like to say that this kind of thing interests us.

[cambro]

You do strike me as a representative cross-section of humanity, so I'll try to do this again sometime.

The tidbit about fish preserved in hadrosaurs is damn cool.

I love my field...

Except for the pervs. The pervs have got to go. But the perfectly preserved sturgeon and paddlefish in hadrosaurs' guts can stay. They're better company anyway.
