Generationsis very controversial among Trekkies because of how things are handled with Kirk, but I never felt the movie was as bad as fans have made it out to be. It's an interesting move to have the android Data choose to activate his emotion chip - something that had only brought him...
The sameTornieriavertebra in dorsolateral oblique view, showing some pneumatic features on the lateral aspect of the neural spine. The pocks on the centrum are also raising my pneumaticity antennae, but I can’t be sure from my limited set of 16-year-old photos. WhenDiplodocuscaudals have pn...
Three sauropods from different times, places and clades, showing the conserved sauropod body plan. The basal eusauropodSpinophorosaurusfrom the Middle Jurassic of Niger, the turiasaurMierasaurusfrom the Early Cretaceous of Utah, and a saltasaurine titanosaurIbiraniafrom the Late Cretaceous of Brazil...
I said last timethat Jisc’s feeble transition-to-open-access report was the first of two disapointing scholarly-communication announcements that week. The second was of course the announcement thatPeerJ has been acquired by Taylor and Francis. ...
To get back to Luke’s question, there are loads of interesting things that could be dissected in a sauropod, but since the remit here is Matt Wedel x titanosaur, there’s only one possible answer: the lung/air sac system and its diverticula. For several reasons: ...
aboutBarosaurus, so in that sense, I have lost interest in him. But isn’t it strange that in trying to answer the simple question “Did the S. O. Landry who wrote an abstract about rearingBarosauruswrite anything else on the subject?” has wound up opening the book of someone’s ...

(dual centroprezygapophyseal laminae, anteroposteriorly compressed spine composed primarily of spinozygapophyseal rather than spinodiapophyseal laminae, drooping transverse processes), yet two features of the spine are never seen in such vertebrae: the spine is wholly unsplit without even a hint ...

This one was born while the same crew was working on the Dry Mesa Haplo paper (Boisvert et al. 2024). We realized that there were more Haplos out there than any of us had individually realized, and it would sure be handy to have the pertinent information on all of them collected in ...
