A photographic tour of the 1994 dig at Sundance Wyoming A few comments are in order. All files were initially grayscale, but I have converted many of them to color using another scanner we have elsewhere. (I just have a grayscale scanner.) A number of the bone pictures were left as gray, adding color does not do much. Scenery and people pictures look better in color I think, and I thus converted them. Those in color I am marking with an asterisk "*" after the name in the hyperlink. Let me ...

Welcome to G'day! Congratulations on surviving the trek to the outpost. A lot have tried to make it here, but did not survive as you can tell by the number on the counter. Blasted carnivores! Here at the outpost, I invite you to stroll around before you head back into dinosaur country. Oh, and while you are here, watch your heads. I have had complaints of pteranadon kamikazi dives.

I send a copy home with each of the children so that they can remember a little bit about what I've ...

Skeletons! Drawing by Ben Cranshaw The skeletons issue Dragonfly has an article describing a dinosaur dig. The author of the article, Rodolfo Coria, is a paleontologist. If you like old stuff and animals, you can become a paleontologist just like Rodolfo! Rodolfo searches for dinosaurs in Patagonia, which is located in southern Argentina in South America.

Shark Illustration: Ivy Rutzky | © 2000 Discovery Communications Inc. Why did so many ancient sharks disappear? Think evolution — change over time. Animals who live in the same environment compete for food, shelter, mates. Those who are most successful win. That means they reproduce and pass their genes on to their offspring. What do you think happened to the sharks featured on these pages? Are their offspring around tod ...
