Thanks for sharing! I have a 7 year old who is obsessed with dinos. He will read this tomorrow after school. Now when I say dinos... Not kid dinos... books that I cannot even pronounce the words in. It is amazing what he knows about these creatures...

WOW, Steve you live close to a fossil site...how cool is that!!

I guess I never outgrew my fascination with these 'thunderous lizards'. It is amazing how scientists are using modern tools to expand on their views on how dinosaurs lived. From using scanning microscopes and modern x-ray machines to view the integral structures of the skull to using advanced super computers to measure footprints thus reconstructing the way they walked, nothing is spared in the quest for knowledge !!

Its like a moon scape with water, the cliffs are sandstone and they go right into the ocean, if a stone get on the sand stone, the water twists and turns the stone until it gets buried in the sandstone, after a few years the loose stone has ground a pot hole, some are big enough to hide in
