fossil of the weekend! #30

a cast of the rather magnificent lambeosaurus magnicristatus from dinosaur provincial park. the original is housed at the royal ontario museum, but this cast can be viewed at the royal tyrrell museum.

fossil of the weekend! #28

not the best photo of, a lambeosaurus being attacked by a pack of dromaeosaurus.

though i try to highlight fossils with this weekendly segment with only the best photos... sadly this is the only photo i have of this over wise amazing mount from dinosaur provincial park.

it not only ties into the recent RAPTOR ATTACK theme going on here at the tyrannosaur chronicles, but is a big hint as to where things will be going in the upcoming continuation post!

that's right my fate after the pack's attack will be revealed this week! watch for it!!!

micro fossils vlog style!!!

man, oh man! i knew that returning to my old hometown would dredge up some old memories. little did i realize some of these would be videoized ones!

amy "dug up" this old presentation i did for the badlands sciency camp. the nice folks over at prehistoric insanity have been nice enough to help me turn it into a plog (which i used to call vlogs, but it was pointed out to me that a vlog is typically a moving picture, where mine are just still ones with a voice over. so i figured i needed to give my format a new name... so taaa-da! welcome to my "first" plog!)

this used to be the power point introduction for an educational program where kids at camp would help sort micro fossils for actual scientific research by dr. donald brinkman of the royal tyrrell musuem! you might recognize some of the pictures in it from my first ever big adventure on this blog over 2 years ago!

now of course watching these plogs remember that they were made back when i still worked for the museum, and that a lot has changed in my life since then (in particular how i get along with my cousin larry!)

the reason i'm uploading these in the middle of my recent field work is that i just found a big cache of micro fossils, and rather than retype all this out I thought why not share this great Palaeo FACT! of mine from the old days!

so now that you know you're micros, i can tell you all about my recently found micro site!... next post that is...
