Texas Gets Prehistoric With Two New Fossil Halls

[dgmilner]

Paleontologists have been lifting fossil bones out of Texas' rock beds since the late 19th century. Now, after years of exporting these bones to some of the world's best museums, the state is getting two huge new paleontology halls of its own, both of which offer a visual feast spanning millions of years.

I'm planning to go to the one in Houston on June second. I live in Austin, so it's pretty close. Heck, I may even go there several times this summer. I hope this site can handle the flood pictures I'm going to upload!  Hopefully Dr. Bakker will be there, and if he's not too busy, I'll ask him to autograph my copy of his book!
