Message #16132
Tracy: Sorry to take so long getting back to you…I'm at a remote location and have only limited access to a phone (and a crummy cellular link, at that!). Glad to hear from a former member! Darren Tanke dropped out some time ago, due to problems commuting to/from Drumheller. Our…

#16048-Dino DNA
Message #16131
Regarding the molley fish, it probably required thousands upon thousands of generations to evolve such a DNA parasitic trait as you described. It's probably species specific. Besides, too much of the fish's DNA structure would be dissimilar to the dinosaurs to even try and contemplate a possible grafting. Not only…

Spencer, >> One wonders if that footprint of Heracles (or Hercules, if you prefer the Roman form of the name) was actually an exposed dinosaur footprint? Something to speculate on, mayhap.

Message #16129
Jim et al – While on vacation, my girlfriend (the Utah Friends of Paleontology secretary — UFOP being the group through which the bill's program would be run) and I attended the committee session which passed the bill into the Utah state House — but only barely! Five members of…

Lily, Martina, Jerry, Laurie, et al I'm not really back – just dropping in to say 'Hi!'. I've been monitoring the forum while I've been inactive, and it certainly has grown since I last actively participated . I'll try to get back into DINO on a regular basis sometime -…
#Paleo. Certfication Bill
Message #16125
Thiis is to notify everyone in the dinosaur Forum about a Bill going for the state legislature in Utah. I was asked to write a letter in support of the Bill and I thought others in the forum might as well. It is: HB-52 submitted by Representitive Tom Mathews on…

>> What I would love to see are paleo-maps say 18,000 to 12,000 years ago that reflect the extant sea level and exposed lands. For the Puget Sound, let's say, I have to take my marine maps and color in the areas presently 20 fathoms or less. Then again, I…

>> Good post. There's just one thing I'd like to add: what about predator traps like the La Brea Tar Pits? Hundreds and hundreds of skeletons, both total and partial, all well preserved by the tar. La Brea is one of the finest sites ever found for Recent mammals and…

Message #16122
Robert and James; They did go to Ishogelasto (sp) and got to hold the reaol Herrerasaurus skull, but all they found were Dycnodonts and Rhyncosaurs. It looks like we will be doing most of our work in the Lower Cretaceous of Patagonia in the future. In addition to Carnotaurus, these…

Jon, >>Can you cite evidence for cyclothems forming today. Where? Where by processes occuring today do we see the development of coal beds or oil fields? The Gulf Coat of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and northern Florida is very similar to the environment that formed the Pennsylvaniian and Mesozoic caol fields…

Roger, >>I would suggest – Iowa Sorry Roger, southeaster Iowa got nailed pretty hard with the New Madrid quakes in the early 1800's. How about central Saskatchewan? Your area of Texas isn't too bad either. Jim

Werner san, Fortunately, and luckily, Michiko and I are all right following quakes continues though. Osaka has few damages (13 people killed actually). I can't call some broken book shelf in my home as damages when I compare it to Kobe and surrounding area where 5083 death today. I appreciate…

Message #16116
Rande-san, The total death counts 5,083 today. What a sad disaster! Many old houses collapsed at once but modern buildings got crushed at the same time. The worst thing after the quake was fire in this case. Nothing was done and fire lasted for hours. I know about San Andreas…

Message #16113
The large pelagic fishes and sharks, such as marlin, tuna have both white and red muscle mass. In the tuna, the red muscle lies close to the vertebral column, with the rest of the flesh having a pinkish color. The large bluefins can reach an internal temp of 95degF (35deg…

Message #16112
After watching a Star Trek: Next Generation, I think that if I simply assemble a tachyon dispersion field plasma-coupled to synchronous meta-turbanite, I can develop the 1.7263 gigawatts needed to generate the duplo-tractor beam resonance beam. The rest is intuitively clear. As Fang would say,"Make it so" M

I suggest you read, if you haven't already, Derek Ager's _The New Catastrophism, the importance of the rare events in geological history_, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-42019-9. Be sure to read his preface.

So how do you explain a Permian Ice Age? It happened at the boundary or near the boundary of the Permian and Triassic. If you don't validate it, there is something wrong. Why are there no Trilobites with mosasaurs or Ichthyosaurs? Tracy.

Jon, Sorry, what I posted was all I know on that particular subject. >> There is a difference between the limited variation found in the genetic pool of any given species and the kind of changes envisioned by the theory of evolution. Creationists have no argument with the kind of…
