Haven't had time to post here lately, but I carved out a slot so here we go. In April of last year (2019), I had a chance to visit China. When I was in Beijing, one of my goals was to see the feathered dinos. I visited two museums that had them. One was the Geological Museum of China. The other (The Beijing Museum of Natural History) will be the subject of another post. I took hundreds of pictures there, but I can't post them all here. I have selected some of the better ones, focusing on the feathered critters. You'll have to excuse the lighting and quality of some of them. The light was low in parts of the museum and I had to shoot through glass most of the time. An Iphone was my camera and I've had to shrink them to fit on here. It was a great museum and they had so much to see besides the fossils. This greets you when you walk in along with some other fossils and minerals. The verts are from a Shantungosaurus giganteus Hu, (a hadrosaurid) found in Shandong Province in 1973.The other guy is a Lufengosaurus magnus (Young). Don't know the rest of the details other than 1957 year. Representing The Fossil Forum with my t-shirt. First up is Caudipteryx zoui Ji et al, Early Cretaceous, Beipiao, Liaoning Province. Next is Enantionithes gen et sp indet, Early Cretaceous, Lingyuan, Liaoning. Liaoxiornis delicatus Hou et Chen, Early Cretaceous, Lingyuan, Liaoning. Next are several specimens of Confusiosornis sanctus Hou et al, Early Cretaceous, Beipiao, Liaoning. The darker shaded area is the shadow of my phone, sorry. continued....

I stumbled on this web site and it looks like a great place - to both learn and participate. I am the founder and chief scientist of a software company specializing in cognitive computing and human-centered computing (http://www.scianta.com). I have been studying and collecting dinosaur fossils for over fifty years. One of my books include Beyond Humanity - Cyberevolution and Future Minds which I co-authored with Greg Paul, one of the palentologist advisors on the orginal Jurassic Park movie, a dino artist, and, in his Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, was one on the first paleontologist to depict feathered theropod dinosaurs. Because of Greg, I spend a lot of time watching and studying and photographing swarms of modern dinosaurs around me, the wonderful clad of avian theropods (opposed to the long gone late Cretaceous nonavian-theropods). I am a photographer with my work on display in galleries in Santa Monica, Baltimore, and New York (see http://www.theperiodicityoflight.squarespace.com). I also collect, culture, study, and photograph protozoa and myoxmycetes (slime molds), and small carnivorous plants called sundews. I collect tenth and eleventh century medieval manuscripts, late Roman republic coins, and nineteenth century brass microscopes. So that's mostly me in a nutshell.
