He found the lower level of the dinosaur hall to be... lacking, shall we say? His very entertaining rant at Dinosaurpalaeo."<br /><br />Mallison should get "The Natural History Museum Book of Dinosaurs" ( http://www.amazon.com/Natural-History-Museum-Book-Dinosaurs/dp/184442183X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325974924&sr=1-1 ) which, despite being based on said hall, is WAY better. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say it was based on the "Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries" exhibition ( http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/dinosaurs/ ).<br /><br />"The Houston Museum of Natural Sciences blog features a post about "Wyrex," one of the tyrannosaurs starring in their new exhibit space opening this year."<br /><br />Said post is especially long & especially interesting/insightful. The probable function of T.rex arms reminds me of how primitive snakes use their spurs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_spur ).Hadiazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805346627826158173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107291904794625632.post-83470492315662268842012-05-16T12:28:21.304-04:002012-05-16T12:28:21.304-04:00Terrible!

The lifts weren't working, so I didn't get to see the fossils upstairs. It was a big disappointment.Mandasaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453243830194246853noreply@blogger.com
