Random thoughts on Paleontology, Evolution, and Philosophy from a life-long eccentric. Good tidings and well-wishes! I’m currently unable to upload photographs to this particular enrty, but rest assured: I’ll lavish the post with fascinating images as soon as I’m able! At any rate, I wanted to call everyone’s attention to an exciting piece of news. Last February, I dedicated a post to the well-known but poorly represented (in the fossiliferous sense). A French member of the pelagornithidae family. By its...

What’s a ‘Tanystropheus’? | The Theatrical Tanystropheus
https://tanystropheus.wordpress.com/whats-a-tanystropheus
Random thoughts on Paleontology, Evolution, and Philosophy from a life-long eccentric. What’s a ‘Tanystropheus’? Good tidings and well-wishes! The answer to the question posed by the heading of this post is located here. After reading this article, you may wonder why I display images of proboscideans (elephants and kin) atop my blog and in my comments-section avatar rather than. Itself. This phenomenon is due to the simple fact that I personally find them to be more interesting (though. Dave Hone’s...

H2VP: No, dinosaurs were not aquatic.
http://h2vp.blogspot.com/2012/04/no-dinosaurs-were-not-aquatic.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. No, dinosaurs were not aquatic. Posted by Michael Habib. Now, I'll be honest - I still think that this may have been an elaborate April Fool's Day prank, and others have suggested this as well. Even if that is true, however, it managed to dupe the BBC, which is pretty scary. A) How dinosaur limbs could otherwise have borne such weight. Up to 100 tonnes)". B) Why they would expend such a large amount of metabolic energy holding tails erect. Why" is presumably because of mobility an...

H2VP: September 2011
http://h2vp.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Posted by Michael Habib. Those of you that watched episodes 3 and 4 of Dinosaur Revolution. Which aired exactly one week ago) saw the sequence focusing on the large pterodactyloid pterosaur, Anhanguera.

The sequence opens with a mother Anhanguera. Hopping in a saltatorial fashion. Ther...

H2VP: October 2012
http://h2vp.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 11, 2012. United in Los Angeles. Posted by Michael Habib. A quick update from Los Angeles. A while back we mentioned that I would be moving to LA to take a job at USC. That move occurred after the field season in New Mexico, and so both H2VP authors are now residents of Los Angeles (and USC)! I have a lot to get running and I am terribly behind the schedule I set for myself in late August, so blogging will be rare until I am caught up. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Back in 2008, I had CT scans done of the humerus of Bennettazhia oregonensis. 160;I have one of the slice videos here, which I have previously only shown in talks (though they did make an appearance in two television programs). The outer, bright layer is the cortical bone (very thin). The grey areas are matrix. You can see some of the trabecular struts running through the matrix. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 9, 2011.
