I didn't know where to put this, but here it is. I've started a blog for some reason, focusing on paleontology, skepticism, and Grimm. I have just posted my opinions on the Troodon in Walking with Dinosaurs, and so I wanted to see what you guys thought of it. If I made any mistakes, it is fine to tell me. Hope you enjoy it.

I did kind of talk about that in the post, but concluded it was more likely to have a feathered face.

Thank you! Yeah, I guess we can't let go of the image that dinosaurs where scaly reptiles.

And here is a new post on Deinocheirus!

Interesting :). You should also make posts about the therizinosaur nests and the new Teratophoneus material.

Yeah. I think what I was trying to say is that we can't let go of the old image of scaly coelurosaurs. Even though I let go of that image since I was 4 years old.

Why did you post this?

Anyways, I am working on my next post, focusing on Lythronax and the new Teratophoneus material. I might not have time to finish it today though. :/

QuoteWhy did you post this?
Yeah, I was wondering that too.

Yutyrannus

Can't wait to read about them! Are you going to put Joshua Knuppe's Lythronax in the post? You should ask him if you can, it isa really cool picture.

P.S.
If you would like to post my Lythronax, you can :).

Because I thought it was a real cool illustration - goes along with the article linked above.  Thought people would enjoy seeing it.

Am I missing something here ?  Are we not supposed to post it for some reason?  ??? ??? ???

No. I was just curious to why you did it. No worries. ;)

Simon

*DOH*  (Sound of hand slapping forehead) - Now I know why you were curious - this is NOT the Deinocherius thread!!!

Jeez sometimes I should take a moment to look at just where I was posting.

Well, I'll post it in the other thread too.  Its just a very cool illustration!!

Agreed. It was awesome for Joschua Knuppe to let me use that picture for my blog post.
