                                        Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. How to Make a Good Nature Documentary. Today, the Discovery Channel has been airing the BBC series. I had heard about the series before, but I'd been skeptical: it couldn't really be as good as everyone claimed it was, could it? Turns out that yes, it is. Here's why:. On the other hand, doesn't skimp on the carnage, whether it's a chimp cannibalizing an infant from another troop or a parasitic fungus erupting out of the head of an ant (in ...

                                        Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. Fossil Vertebrate of the Month: Diplodocus carnegii. Last month's Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Meeting was held in Pittsburgh and while animal chosen for the conference logo was the awkwardly-named tetrapod Fedexia. There is another animal that will forever be associated with vertebrate paleontology in that city's Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Was alerted to the publicity value of sauropod. As gifts to museums in capitals acro...

                                        Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. Fossil Vertebrate of the Month - Terror Bird. This is the largest group of organisms I've ever featured as a FVOTM, but given that we're coming up on Halloween, it seemed appropriate to spotlight a family whose common name is based on how terrifying they were. Terror birds (or, more correctly, phorusrhacids), represented by the LA County Museum's. In the picture at left, were a group of giant. Flightless birds related to living seriemas.

                                        Kumtuks Tahlkie: Heinrich Harder & the Art of the Prehistoric Landscape

                                        Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. Heinrich Harder and the Art of the Prehistoric Landscape. Though more exotic landscapes were well within his abilities as well; I particularly like his Hyaenodon. In an Everglades-like swamp. I am sure this all seems very arcane and possibly uninteresting to most of my audience (such as it is), but I confess I have always had a soft spot for prehistoric landscapes. It was, in fact, the gloomy, expansive landscapes of Czech paleoartist.

                                        Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. I'm back and you're all brilliant! I have no idea what precisely this means; if you click on the banner above, it will take you to a website that tells you the reading level of your blog. This 'genius' rating means either that the language I use here is far too stilted or that my audience, small though it may be, is the intellectual cream of the crop. I choose to believe the latter.
