Look what paleontologists just figured out:
Dinosaur Colors/Bird relations article
Sweet.
All those dumb people (like my dad) who don't believe birds evolved from dinosaurs can shut their mouths.
It's so great how all the discoveries they make in Paleontology are the most straightforward things. "Huh, maybe I should actually look at this feather fossil and see if it has the same form of pigmentation bird feathers do." Whoah!
It's great. A job that's just a bunch of using your common sense while dealing with amazingly epic creatures that can't hurt you... I don't know why anyone wouldn't want the job. I'm so glad I do. :>
But ever since I've started working on Boneteller, there have been tons of interesting discoveries like this (well... more like 3, but still, they're huge). I'd like the book to happen in the present, and so I keep updating it with new things... I'll definitely have this in there, but I really need to know at what time I'm stopping. xD
Let's say... August 2010. That's the latest in the year I want to have the dig starting (right now I'm imagining late June-July-ish), so... anything discovered past that will have to be something I simply can not turn down, since I'll have to skip another full year ahead for the time of the happenings happening.
This all puts me in such a tizzy, I love it. <3
About Me
- Sparrow
- Well, I'm Mary, although on the internet I usually go by Sparrow and certain note-writing people I know may also know me as "The". I enjoy carrying around pretzels to munch on, walking in a painful manner under the hot sun for two-three hours three days a week while playing a clarinet (aka Marching Band), and solving mysteries with my friends. We're almost as good as Scooby-Doo, although we tend to get called dorks rather than meddling kids.
