@Tweetisaurus Isn’t that funny, I couldn’t get a cell signal 20 miles out of Bozeman but had constant cell service all over Mongolia..

Finally, after five decades of collection and research, we have calibrated stratigraphic resolution of the confirmed dinosaur occurrences from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana! Thanks to former students Ray and Dave, and colleagues Jahandar and Eric!

@df9465 Congratulations team!! I knew the Fowler’s plus Bobby would find something fun to do in North Dakota but I have to admit that curling didn’t cross my mind.. must be an influence from the Sotans to the East.. if it were a Montana influence you’d be pushing cow pies, not stones!

@DrTBehrens Yes, everyone knew the raptors should have been feathered in the original JP, but the computer graphics just weren’t good enough at the time, and the animatronic puppets would have just looked silly. There were other concerns as well.

@StephanieQuayle @StormGirl05 What are you wondering? Birds are now classified as dinosaurs because birds share many more characteristics with dinosaurs than they do with any other type of animal. Similarity is how we determine relatedness. Differences tell us nothing about relatedness.

After 13 years Dinochicken Project has reached a threshold. We know how to initiate teeth, alter skull shape, transform wingtip to a 3 fingered hand, and produce a bony tail. Next and final step will likely have to be on an island, with a generous, intrepid donor!! #dinochicken

It’s good to take a few steps backward once in a while to reconsider our basic assumptions about tooth morphologies, function and selective forces.. the straight, fluted teeth of spinosaurs make sense but not the tiny, laterally compressed, slightly recurved teeth of Carnotarus..
