I think it's a game that would be good for youngsters really, but lots of people here have children so it might be interesting for them.

I've just clicked play and you can add sound effects and evvvvverrrry thing

Breathing fire?! Even by creationist standards that seems off the weird scale.

Great stuff!

Yes thanks for the link - it seems brilliant for children!

I dread to think what utter bullshit exists on the rest of the site - but I can have a pretty good guess!

A Tyrannosaurus tooth went into space!

The Saurian game website - it looks incredible.

The dangers of Palaeontology.

Just say no.

I am currently following a very interesting discussion on another forum about the maximum size of pliosaurs - the two gigantic vertebra from Peterborough that exist really do suggest a 20 metre long, 75 ton + predator swimming through the Jurassic seas (rather than being a misidentified sauropod as has been previously suggested).

The fact that we have nothing more than very fragmentary remains of these 'super- pliosaurs' is a real shame and if they really were this size some of these species would be in the same league as Megalodon.

I hope that far more complete specimens are found in the future.

Plenty of links that some people may find interesting.

It's easy to forget how long theropod tails could be. For some reason in my mind I always think of them as being stubby.

Well tyrannosaurids were far more heavily built and had robust, compact tails so perhaps this is why?

I think that photograph might be slightly deceiving - however Allosaurus did have quite a long tail and the genus was relatively light-bodied as giant theropods go.

New mammals discovered from the time of the dinosaurs:

Jurassic Reptiles Were Good Parents
A well-preserved fossil from the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, China, represents the oldest record of post-natal parental care, according to a new study led by Dr Junchang Lu from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences’ Institute of Geology.

It appears that the adults were actively protecting their young against predators and it shows that the fossil record can provide insights into social behaviour.

Yes, it's fish-lizard time with a new discovery:

Forgotten fossil found to be new species of ichthyosaur
A fossil stored in a Doncaster museum for 30 years and thought to be a plaster copy has turned out to be a new species of ancient reptile. A young palaeontologist working with the University of Manchester found the fossil in 2008, in the collections of Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery. He realised it was the 189-million-year-old remains of an ichthyosaur - an extinct marine reptile.

It has been a very quiet few weeks in palaeontology.

it takes time for some finds to be excavated..... nice to see you

Thank you very much - it's good to be back.

Hi Keyser
Get busy on your thread, it's been missed

There is plenty of stuff coming up very soon.

Yay, you're back! About time too!

Thanks Safi! ((()))

'Dapper dinosaurs' - I find these totally hilarious!

Lol they are rather amusing!!!

Well drawn as well.

Meet Sasha - the world's first frozen baby Wooly Rhinoceros.

There are some really excellent photographs of her in this article - the preserved state of the body is simply astonishing after all those millennia.

http://siberiantimes.com/science/cas...-woolly-rhino/

that's amazing!
what wonderful preservation ....so fluffy!!!

Yes it's very poignant as well - as if she died just yesterday instead of many millennia before human civilisation began.

On the other end of the scale is an interesting new paper on the bite force of the monstrous caiman Purrusaurus brasiliensis.
