March 16, 2007 -- From Frank Galef, a reader, from Oceanside, California, who is affiliated with the site.
I want to tell you about my trilobite website. It is mostly a gallery of my collection along with maps of the Paleozoic that show how the oceans where they lived are related to modern locations. The specimens are arranged by order and family with links to the most comprehensive trilobite site on the Internet ("A Guide to the Orders of Trilobites"). There is no commercial content aside from listing some dealers at the end.
March 8, 2007 -- From Rowena, a reader, from Shell, Wyoming, who is affiliated with the site.
At BLM's Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite, you can imagine yourself walking along an ocean shoreline 167 million years ago with dozens of other dinosaurs, looking to pick up a bite of lunch from what washed up on the last high tide. The ground is soft and your feet sink down in the thick ooze, leaving a clear footprint with every step you take.
The discovery of rare fossil footprints on public lands near the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway close to Shell, Wyoming, could alter current views about the Sundance Formation and the paleo-environment of the Middle Jurassic Period.
