Can't say all of the humour tickles me, but it keeps it nice and light-hearted.

Interesting new finds relating to dino embryo fossils:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130410131216.htm

I wonder if this'll be another "scientists found blood (which wasn't actually blood) in dinosaur bones!" creationist claim...

A good site overall, this particular Tour Egypt page gives a view into the techniques of pottery dating, essential in forming a reliable chronology.

An article about Mernieth, the first (or possibly second? ) female king of Egypt, in the twenty-ninth century BC.

An intriguing article on the "Shashu/Hapiru", the name of Yahweh in Egyptian, and a putative link to Exodus.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

...and here's what you've all been waiting for:

http://tinyurl.com/k237ugz


Pliosaurids were a long-lived and cosmopolitan group of marine predators that spanned 110 million years and occupied the upper tiers of marine ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic until the early Late Cretaceous. A well-preserved giant pliosaurid skull from the Late Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay Formation of Dorset, United Kingdom, represents a new species, Pliosaurus kevani.

It's the most powerful predator of all time, and it's called Kevan.

So it's not enough being biggest and best, it has to be made of opal as well?

My take on Pliosaurus kevani:
http://plesiosaur.com/plesiosaurs/weymouth.php

"In the case of P.kevani we went over the skill millimetre by millimetre,"

Shouldn't that be "skull"?

That's my proof reading for the day. :D Great read, though. Thanks Richard.

Finding it while making your living room bigger would be nice.
