According to our 'Boy-Blunder' I am the,
"New dinosaur species discovered - sitting in museum" ;-)

Yes I am talking about YOU, BW!

How cool would that be to discover something like that?!! I always wanted to be a paleontologist as a kid :)

#1 #2. Of course I don't think that about you, Charles. You're an OLD dinosaur, who's not in a museum!! And we've known about you for some time ... but don't worry. I've heard they're developing new medication for the Hootsmon's pet Charliosaurus Ancienticus.

See how much we care? :)))

Seems that new dino-species are being discovered year on year. It just goes to show ... the world is and has always been a far stranger place than we will ever know ... or knew!

""I've spent the last five years doing nothing but looking at sauropod vertebrae" I can think of better things to be doing...

'Aye'...that's for sure! isn't it BW? and it starts with you! :-)

#8 ... yes ... but worryingly, it ends with you, Charles!!! :)

'HA-HA' Very funny BW, very funny!

Well done, Mr Taylor (Dr Taylor). Now push for publication rights and research income, but sercure your PhD first. Again well done, solid work.

Our knowledge of evolution continues to evolve through scientific enquiry. Quite inspiring.

BTW, "Ancienticus" should be "ancienticus" at a stretch (and in italics).

/Linnaean pedantry

Why is it paleantologists always have a bone to pick with dinosaurs?

#13. Because if they don't, MoS ... they'll be in for a ribbing from archaeologists.

The article seems to imply the discovery was an incredibly lucky occurrence but I thought most species were discovered this way. Most museums have vaults full of unclassified fossils.

And "on a trip to a museum" not really, if he is studying for a PhD and has access to the collections of fossils not on public display then he wasn't really on a trip now was he.
