I always get excited when Paul Sereno publishes a paper in PLoS ONE and today is one such day - his third paper in this journal within a span of less than a year (the first was the paper with detailed description of Nigersaurus and the second was the article on Green Sahara cemeteries ). Today's paper is also the second time PLoS ONE publishes a taxonomy paper, i.e., a monograph that describes a new species: Evidence for Avian Intrathoracic Air Sacs in a New Predatory Dinosaur from Argentina : Background Living birds possess a unique heterogeneous pulmonary system composed of a rigid, dorsally-anchored lung and several compliant air sacs that operate as bellows, driving inspired air through the lung. Evidence from the fossil record for the origin and evolution of this system is extremely limited, because lungs do not fossilize and because the bellow-like air sacs in living birds only rarely penetrate (pneumatize) skeletal bone and thus leave a record of their presence. Methodology/Principal Findings We describe a new predatory Dinosaur from Upper Cretaceous rocks in Argentina, Aerosteon riocoloradensis gen. et sp. nov., that exhibits extreme pneumatization of skeletal bone, including pneumatic hollowing of the furcula and ilium. In living birds, these two Bones are pneumatized by diverticulae of air sacs (clavicular, abdominal) that are involved in pulmonary ventilation. We also describe several pneumatized gastralia ("stomach ri ...

The ideas are out there... waiting to be harnessed. We just have to make the time to brainstorm, to talk, to have dinner, and in the process, to capture all those ideas we generate but usually disregard for whatever reason.

Scientists say the remains of a 30-foot-long Dinosaur discovered in Argentina support the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs.University of Michigan paleontologist Jeffrey Wilson, a member of the team that discovered the remains during a 1996 expedition, said the preserved Bones of the Dinosaur, named Aerosteon riocoloradensis, revealed evidence of air sacs.The researchers said birds have a breathing system that is unique among land animals. Instead of lungs that expand, birds have a system of bellows, or air sacs, which help pump air through their lungs. That is the reason birds can fly higher and faster than bats, which, like all mammals, expand their lungs in a less efficient breathing process. ...

Just outside of Canon City is the Garden Park Fossil Area which gave birth to the one of the great rivalries in paleontology. Residents of the area first discovered Dinosaur Bones in the 1870s but it was the battle between Othaniel C.

Over the past few days here you've heard about a giant, prehistoric bony-toothed bird and an ultra tiny American Dinosaur. Now there's sort of a cross between the two, a huge new dino that had fowl breath. Its breath probably did stink, but fowl in this case refers to breathing like a bird. The new Dinosaur, named Aerosteon riocoloradensis , or “air Bones from the Rio Colorado," was a nearly 33-foot-long predator that lived 85 million years ago in Argentina. (Todd Marshall c 2008, courtesy of Project Exploration) (Below, the team's field vehicle stands guard on the cliff edge over the site of the new Dinosaur, named for the Rio Colorado seen in the background marking the southern edge of Mendoza Province, Argentina. Image credit: David Varricchio c 2008, courtesy of Project Exploration.) The discovery nearly slams the case shut that birds evolved from dinosaurs. “Among land animals, birds have a unique way of breathing. The lungs actually don’t expand,” said the University of Chicago's Paul Sereno, who led the research, which is outlined in a paper in the latest Public Library of Science ONE. Birds instead possess a system of bellow-like air sacs that pump air through their lungs without all of the human type heaving and huffing. And here's a trivia question to stump your friends: Why do birds fly faster and higher than bats? The answer is that bats are mammals. They therefore possess a much less efficient way of breathing. Scrupulous ...

Somewhere in the past few years, a farmer in the city my in-laws retired to, St. George, Utah, found a motherlode of super-detailed Dinosaur tracks and fossils, and they built an entire museum around them. Just like that. So we added the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm to the kid's itinerary [which is a roundabout way of saying we sent her off to see the dinosaurs with my wife's stepmother.] I'm sure it was great; the website makes it sound very important. But what blew the kid away was some random little gift shop tchotchke: a Dinosaur skeleton excavaction kit from a scientific tchotchke dealer called GeoCentral. It's basically a resin Dinosaur skeleton buried in a block of mud-colored plaster; you have to dig out the pieces using the little wooden chisel and brush. Then you glue the thing together. She. was. thrilled. Dinosaurs, a project, a toy, and sanctioned mess-making, all in one. The fact that she broke a couple of Bones while getting them out didn't matter at all; it made it more realistic. GeoCentral seems to be a wholesale-only joint, and though it doesn't mention it, the price of the GeoCentral Dinosaur excavation kits on Amazon make me think you get an entire case. The kid's single kit was $4. There's at least one other excavation kit maker, though; the Dig It Up! mini excavation kit is actually much bigger than the GeoCentral and seems more scientifically accurate. But it's also rated for kids 8-1 ...
