  1. The glorious warm weather we encountered this Saturday prompted us to go check out Doane falls in Royalston, MA. After spending a couple of hours hiking along the beautiful waterfalls, we decided to pay a visit to one of our favorite museums in Amherst. Located on the campus of Amherst College is the Beneski Museum of Natural History which houses an extensive collection of Edward Hitchcock's “Dinosaur tracks from the Connecticut river valley” and a large collection of fossils from mammoths to ammonites to rocks. The admission is free of cost. The museum has 3 floors and is accessible. Even though it's not too big. It has a nice variety of specimens. Words are not enough to describe the museum so I took some pictures of everything that caught my eye. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Please forgive me for any glare that you see in the pictures. Let’s start with Dinosaurs, Mammoths and skeletons of other species. This is the specimen of a Moose like creature. The specimen on top is a Mammoth and the one on the bottom is the ancestor of present day bears. The specimen on top is a Colombian Wooly Mammoth,the one on the bottom right is a saber-toothed cat and the one on the left is an ancestor of modern day wolves and dogs. Forgive me for not including the scientific names. Closeup of the relative of modern day wolves and dogs. A collection of mammals from ancestors of rhinos,cows to camels. Let's move on to a bit older and bigger beasts and everyone's favorite Dinosaurs. A plaster cast of a T-Rex skull and a dinosaur nest. Now moving onto the much awaited Dinosaur tracks... Here's a link to the playlist which has an audio and video tour of some of the dinosaur trackways and things like fossilized rain droplets and water ripples. Audio/Video Tour Here’s a link to the PDF Version if someone wants to read. This post has already become a bit too heavy to edit. So keep an eye out for Part-2. Hope you enjoyed my post so far.
  2. I was able to get into the Alaska Geographic field course, Paleontology in Denali with a short notice cancelation this month. I had done this course two years ago and throughly enjoyed the experience. During he first evening introductions I mentioned I had attended 2 years ago and immediately was teased that I had failed the last time and was back again, LOL. Dr. Pat Druckenmiller, the director of The Museum of the North was the instructor again and was most knowledgeable giving a background lecture of the areas geology and how the dinosaur tracks could have formed. He is holding a likely front foot track from a hadrosaur. Possible pterosaur track. Hadrosaur track. Same track with boot for scale. Ceratopsian likely hind foot track. Another likely track. Some of the attendees looking at another hadrosaur track. One of the first group of tracks identified in the park was named the Dinosaur Dance Floor pictured here, Closer look at the tracks in situ. Making a peal of the possible pterosaur track. Fossilized wood. Metasequoia leaf impression and fossil wood. The snow was late leaving this year with the wild flowers just starting to bloom. We saw two family groups of bears on the trip from the best possible location, sitting in the van while driving the road. This is all that is left of a moose calf after it became a bear snack. It is a hungry world up here. A winter killed Dall sheep skull. I aged the ram at 11 years old which is about as long as they live. A brown bear was digging up ground squirrels here and farther up the valley we explored. A view from the second day hike with snow still present. BTW I passed the course this year by finding a nice pair of Dino tracks:)

    Ahhhhh... TEXAS

    Wow... I had a SUPERB run around Texas for the last 2 weeks. The inaugural Permian Fest in Seymour, which was an absolute blast, started us off. Thanks Chris Flis @dinodigger and the other Whiteside folks for EVERYTHING! Then some more Permian in TX & OK. Then various archives and site pilgrimages relating to RT Bird, about whom I am writing a biography. And sprinkled in there, a bunch of wonderful Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous collecting. Thanks to Tully Hair @thair and admin John Jackson @JohnJ for their participation in these adventures. What an amazing trip! 3 xenacanth teeth and a fragment of Eryops jaw from the Permian of OK Jonas Studio T. rex from the 1964 World's Fair at Dinosaur Valley State Park, TX Elongate theropod track with reflection of fossil hunter Edlin Pitts at Dinosaur Valley State Park, TX Complete Cretaceous Phymosoma peeking out of road cut and an ammonite my wife found near Lampasas, TX Pennsylvanian Petalodus tooth from near Grosvenor, TX in the wild and in the hand Complete Cretaceous ?Tetragramma that my wife found near Lometa, TX My wife and John canoeing in central TX hunting for Cretaceous goodies A surprise Pedernales Point (thanks for the ID @JohnJ!) from a gravel bar in central TX RT Bird's "swimming" sauropod trackway at Mayan Ranch, Bandera, TX 2 shots of the Davenport Ranch dinosaur tracks with Davenport descendants

  5. Hey guys! My first scientific publication has just been released online by the journal Geological Magazine in association with Cambridge University Press (see link below). My study describes the first probable deinonychosaur tracks from Canada, which my colleagues and I found and documented at a large dinosaur tracksite (about 72.5 million years old) near the city of Grande Prairie in Alberta, Canada. Four traces occur in possible trackway association, while another isolated track that is in exactly the same direction is located nearby on the same bedding plane, suggestive of at least two individuals (although we cannot say whether any sort of pack behavior was occurring). The two most complete tracks are didactyl, meaning they preserve only two toe impressions. Based on this, the size of the tracks and their occurrence within dinosaur-bearing strata of Late Cretaceous age, we conclude the tracks most likely pertain to a small deinonychosaur of some kind as these dinosaurs walked primarily on digits III and IV, with the second toe (digit II) being raised off the ground and bearing the enlarged "killing claw". Based on the relative shortness of digit IV compared to digit III in our new tracks, we also suggest the trackmakers were more likely to be troodontids rather than dromaeosaurids, as troodontids generally possessed a digit IV that was somewhat shorter than that of a typical dromaeosaurid. Within the rocks where these tracks were found (in Unit 4 of the Wapiti Formation), teeth of troodontids are fairly common at some sites, so although the discovery of their tracks is certainly novel it was also not completely unexpected. The paper is paywalled, i apologize for that, which is why i have provided a short summary above. If you are studying at an educational institution though you may be able to gain access that way.

  6. The snow and ice has arrived where I live in Alaska so need something to look forward to for next year. Will share a trip I had in April when the pandemic closed my office so did what was recommended with social distancing about as far as you can go in Alaska. I made arrangements for fuel and loaded up my home built aircraft called a Glastar with a friend and his son to accompany in another aircraft and headed down the Alaska Peninsula on an adventure. About half way down we came across a dead walrus and were able to salvage the tusks which is legal and will make nice cribbage boards some day. Even though the Japanese are not still making and using glass float winter storms kick up old ones that have been buried and we picked up a few for the garden. Camp set up in the brush to help protect from the horrendous winds that can occur along the Alaska Peninsula. I bring a nice camp with a screen tent for cooking and to protect from the bugs which on this trip had not come out yet due to it still being cold at night. Frost in the morning. We had a day of fishing for trout with the nice weather to enjoy without the normal winds. The fly is one of my own creations. Back at camp with real food , moose tacos. With the weather still holding the following day decided to fly all the way to the end of the Alaska Peninsula beach combing and see what we could find from the air hoping for another walrus. It was not to be but we did check out Unga Island which is on the Pacific side by Sand Point where there is 5 miles of beach with petrified wood. This exposure is where the fossil wood is. Active volcanoes in the background. On the return trip back up the peninsula stopped at Aniachak Bay to look at the dinosaur tracks exposed at low tide. After a mile and half walk started to find the trackways and a couple of big tracks in blocks. Hope this picture assay give you something to look forward for when the snow melts. Cheers; Bob
