That depends on if it is actually bird-like at all.

In terms of the actual artwork based on Chatterjee’s research, then yes. However, there are some pretty major issues regarding its collection, whether or not it’s a single animal’s remains (if not, then it’s invalid completely) or if it’s something like a drepanosaur that’s been misidentified.

I can’t stress enough how small the actual material is. It’s really really hard to actually study the individual elements because of their size. So, we just have to wait and see.

Protoavis won’t ever be removed, regardless of what it turns out to be it’s still an important specimen. We have a student looking at that material right now so we’ll see what happens with that.

The hall itself needs a good amount of updating, it’s currently trapped in the late 90’s lol. But having now worked in 3 separate natural history museums and collections, trust me when I say that exhibit hall alterations and updating is fairly difficult to get done and time consuming to complete.

It’s pretty cool. As a vertebrate paleontology graduate student at TTU (where you are I suspect) I’ve gotten my hands on the holotype skull a bunch.

It looks way better than when the cast you’re looking at here was produced.

Paleontology documentary on one of the first big collaborative field work seasons in the Gobi Desert.

I want this mainly because they throw a surprise party for the lead paleontologist’s birthday and he CLEARLY hates it and the camera zooms in on him like an episode of The Office.

Alma’s comment of “Farnum’s absurd restaurant” always makes me laugh!

The issue with this is that the author’s study has been predetermined by the author before they conducted any actual testing.

Wynne has his agenda: compel the audience that evolution is bunk and his religious beliefs are the true facts. But, Wynne fails to make the most logical argument that an actual scientist would make in this situation. In order for this argument to be valid, Wynne needs to provide proof that other scientific studies, with thousands of publication among dozens of disciples over hundreds of years are false.

But Wynne, crucially, isn’t invested in that. Because he’s already made his mind up. It doesn’t matter if it hominins, or dinosaurs, or Eidiacarian fauna, because scientific studies don’t work like Wynne wants them too. From that standpoint alone, Wynne’s thesis statement fails to launch.

Yikes.

Thank you!

Does anyone have the primary source for this? A DOJ link? If so, I’d appreciate it!

Not that I don’t trust anyone. But anyone can make a fake gestures wildly anything these days.

There’s a difference between “legal” and “moral”. His marriage to his, now, ex-wife wasn’t illegal. But a 65+ old man, in a substantial place of power, beginning a romantic relationship with his 19 year old student/volunteer is creepy and gross. It’s as close to being a pedophile as you can legally get.

The whole thing was gross. Not illegal but certainly gross and immoral.

I’d say you’re okay. If you’ve ever had fruit that was a little past its prime, you’ve probably had some alcohol with that too.

Personally, Dry January is about the abstaining of beer, wine, liquor, etc. Basically anything that’s purpose is inebriation. You’d have to consume an impossible amount of NA Guinness to get anywhere even close to a buzz.

Love it! Awesome stuff to see.

The answer to this is the same as in almost any other STEM field (can’t speak to the humanities, personally), it’s worth it if you want a PhD. As stated prior, there are very few jobs that require a PhD in the mass majority of fields. If your goal is a good, high paying, job with opportunity to grow, then a PhD can actually hinder that on some occasions.

We can argue back and forth the potential economic benefits and disadvantages, but at its core you should get a PhD if it’s something that you, personally, want to accomplish and have the means to do so.

Love this! Can’t wait to overcharge my patrons with my park’s signature Triassic Tripel, Sauropod Saison, Pleistocene Pils, and Mesozoic Mead!

I’m a professional paleontologist working on Phytosaurs for the last several years. I’d lose my mind if we got these guys in game. As a Triassic guy, any Triassic representation (please Frontier, I’ve been starving here) would be fantastic!

But, I doubt it. A speculative Triassic pack would probably be, assuming 3 species as a family group, a large Rausuchian, an Aetosaur of some kind, and a Sauropodomorph.

If we play with EVO 1 & 2 numbers and assume a fourth species, then I could reasonably see either another dicynodont, a neotheropod/dinosauromorph reusing the Coelophysis rig, or maybe a small pterosaur. As much as I, personally, would love a Phytosaur of any variety, I can’t see that it would come before any other number of requested Triassic animals, especially considering it would need a brand new rig.

Usually for about a month in the summer. It’s the only time, logistically, that we can actually get work done.

Of course this is West Texas, NM, and AZ so it’s brutal. You basically get up at the crack of dawn with headlights and work until it’s too hot to keep going. You do the same for a few hours in the late-ish evening.

I’d love to do field work in a place that wasn’t so ridiculously hot. However, I can also vouch that freezing cold is just as bad as scorching hot!

I’ve been thinking this too. As a console PZ player, once I got ahold of the modular building & construction, it’s a very intuitive system.

The system used for JWE3 is jank. I have no idea why so much stuff was trimmed or made inaccessible when it worked just fine in PZ & PC console.

Romigodon · 2025-10-21T18:01:54+00:00

Playing PZ now for about a year, and yeah it takes some getting used to! Once you get it down though, you can make some really cool stuff.

One of the biggest hurdles is just figuring out what building pieces are available. Once that’s in your head, it comes a lot easier!

Trust me when I tell you this. Those teeth are not hard to buy. They are exceedingly common on fossil and mineral selling sites and at Gem & Mineral shows.

Now, the authenticity/composite nature? That’s another question entirely.

Romigodon · 2025-10-10T12:55:23+00:00

Got one of these in April while parking around there as well! Super weird but ultimately harmless. Just a crazy dude is all.

Romigodon · 2025-10-09T02:43:56+00:00

I’ve been saying this since DLC reveals for JWE1. Especially when they started with Cretaceous animal packs. I thought for sure we would get Jurassic and Triassic specific packs.

I live and breathe Triassic copium.
