In the News
There seem to be lots of big things going on in the News, the Teri Schaivo case and all the wrangling which I am finding hard to listen to or sort out my feelings about because I am busy dealing with my own dad's illness and how to honor my parents and my family here at the same time, The shootings in Red Lake, MN (I spent some time on a different Minn. Indian Reservation growing up and a friend's dad was the pastor at Red Lake for a while so this feels close to home and I am glad to see that the media is covering it fully and with sensitivity to the unique situations of the Native American Reservation culture)
In all the hubbub you may have missed out on a new Dinosaur find and what happens when you do what you generally are not supposed to do with an artifact "This particular dinosaur fossil was too big to lift and they reluctantly cracked a thighbone.." Some times you hit the jackpot!
It has interesting implications for our understanding of the genetics and time line of dinosaur life and evolutionary assumptions basing timelines on the fossilization process "The finding certainly shows fossilization does not proceed as science had assumed...".
Also makes you wonder how long before some one tries to make Jurassic Park something more then a movie.
