http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/01/week-2-january-15-21-2015.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Thursday, January 15, 2015. Week 2 (January 15 - 21, 2015). This week I'm asking that you find a paleontologist you would really like to work with . at least in your imagination! We have begun our study of dinosaurs by learning about the scientists who first produced some of the scientific research on dinosaurs in the 1800s and early 1900s. Charles Sternberg, Barnum Brown, Werner Janensch and Franz Baron Nopcsa. Thanks. Dr. B. January 15, 2015 at 11:57 PM.

North Seattle College GEOL 106 Dinosaurs: Week 1 (January 5 - 14, 2015)
http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/01/week-1-january-5-14-2015.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Sunday, January 4, 2015. Week 1 (January 5 - 14, 2015). Here is our first public task to start our class! Our textbook was published in 2012 so it needs just a bit of updating. The last two years have been two of the most exciting ones with respect to new dinosaur discoveries and insights so there is no shortage of updates which can be contributed! Finally, remember that you can post "anonymously" just using your first name or another way to identify you...

http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/01/week-4-january-29-february-4-2015.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Week 4 (January 29 - February 4, 2015). It was fun to read all the world-wide adventures last week! The imaginary excursions started with a trip to Antarctica and continued on to the continents of Australia, Asia (Mongolia, South Korea, China, India), Africa (Tanzania), Europe (England, Scotland, Germany), South America (Peru, Venezuela, Brazil) and North America (Mexico). Did I miss any? State - but not. I can tell you that s...

North Seattle College GEOL 106 Dinosaurs: Week 5 (February 5 - 11, 2015)
http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/02/week-5-february-5-11.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Thursday, February 5, 2015. Week 5 (February 5 - 11, 2015). For the last couple weeks we imagined that we had traveled somewhere in the world and also around this country to prospect for dinosaur remains at locations known to be "fruitfully fossiliferous" in the past. We used the information we found online to recreate field excursions for ourselves. Wouldn't it be great to know a bit more from those who have actually made such excursions? I will ask a n...

North Seattle College GEOL 106 Dinosaurs: Week 7 (February 19 - 25, 2015)
http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/02/week-7-february-19-25-2015.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Friday, February 20, 2015. Week 7 (February 19 - 25, 2015). Provide important clues about the activities. Of ancient organisms (like non-avian dinosaurs! The cool nature of "trace fossils" is that they can tell "stories" related directly to dinosaur behavior. Not just physical appearance. And also provide a link to the source of information so the rest of us can learn more about it too. Thanks! February 20, 2015 at 9:39 AM. February 20, 2015 at 11:02 AM.

A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Week 11 (March 19 - 25, 2015). As your final comments to our class blog, I am hoping you will share what you found interesting about your study of dinosaurs this quarter. Was there one particular discovery that you were not expecting, maybe something that profoundly changed your thinking or that you couldn't wait to share with others? Or maybe some very specific detail stood out as the most bizarre thing you had ever heard!

North Seattle College GEOL 106 Dinosaurs: Week 10 (March 12 - 18, 2015)
http://nsccdinosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/03/week-10-march-12-18-2015.html
A five credit online course taught in Winter 2015. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Week 10 (March 12 - 18, 2015). As we wind down the quarter over these next two weeks, I wondered if you could consider a more whimsical request. One of my favorite little books is entitled " How to Keep Dinosaurs: The Complete Guide to Bringing Up Your Beast. I think that the new " Jurassic World. Who has just read a bit about the real nature of these creatures? What would you study about it and what would you hope to learn?
