Earlier this summer some new tracks, most notably sauropods and theropods, were found in southwestern Arkansas, in the same gypsum quarry where other tracks were located in the 1980's. Back then, Jeff Pittman had been doing some work at the quarry and often was displeased with the potholes he ... Comment - Like

The Miss USA contestants were each asked if they thought evolution should be taught in school. I am surprised which states representatives were for it, and which states wanted "both sides" taught....Note that Miss California/Miss USA 2011 is in favor of evolution being taught in schools.
Thanks... Comment - Like

Check out PaleoJobs.com. They currently have a few postings up and it seems to be a website that is kept up to date. At this point it seems to be a bit heavy in the geology side of jobs (not all paleo jobs), but if some bio- or museum people (even though there is a separate museum specific job sit... Comment - Like

It seems as if part of the US population thinks that the world is going to end this Saturday, May 21, 2011. Specifically, the rapture if going to happen and the whole earth is not going down until October 21th. But there is predicted to be serious earthquakes on Saturday. Who knew all this time yo...

You know you would like to do this. Maybe not in public, but how many of you have seen a sculpture or even a cast you think would be fun to scale (assuming it could hold your weight, which most cast can't, so do not try it at home folks!). Can't say I would really want to scale a skeletal replica, b... Comment - Like

As members of the VertPaleo listserv may have recently noticed (or noticed for years now), politics and paleontology often don't go together. You can never make anyone in a group happy when you talk about politics to start off with, and it is generally wise to just keep your thoughts to yourself.
