Quick, think of a place in the world where a transform boundary has formed a seriously big fault line, a place where folks are waiting for the "Big One", a place where a magnitude 7 quake is not considered the "Big One" (and think of how people don't really want to think about [...]
There hasn't been a lot of buzzing in the blogosphere on this taxon, but it was described as a possibly flightless early pterosaur by Bonaparte et al. in the "New Aspects of Mesozoic Biodiversity". I would have expected a taxon so possibly critical to the split of pterosaurs from other [...]

Tricia Arnold frequently delights me with her illustrations. When I first learned of her stuff last year, I thought it had a timeless quality and a charm that harkened back to the cartoons I grew up watching. Sure enough, she's just wrapped up "Don Bluth Month" at her blog. Makes sense!Here's her [...]
