Re: Project Exploration comes home

Hi all,

Have been absent from the list for some time, but  wanted to comment on 
this:

> Paul Sereno and his team collected 20 tons of fossils during the four month 
> expedition, which should yield a number of announcements in the coming 
> months/years.  Those who haven't as yet read the updates, go to:

It was great!!  The website covers a lot of the stuff too, the "Real Deal" 
is both entertaining and pitiful/frightening.  One particular picture is of 
an arachnid called a solifuge.  When you put the cursor on the picture, the 
word "no T.V." come up.  We kept some gladiator solifuges and fed them for 
entertainment in Gadoufoua.

Also, the Sun-Times article mentions 21 flat tires...  Shyeah, in the first 
two weeks.  :)

Anyway, do check out the website if you have a chance.  Also, check out our 
nice little discovery at Camp 3 as mentioned in the Sun-Times article.  I 
won't say much, except I can hardly wait for that jacket to get opened.

Oh, one last thing.  There are a few typos in the website, the worst for me 
is a misquote from myself.  For the record, I know that true bugs are 
Hemiptera and not Hymenoptera.  Our doctor thought he was doing me a favor 
by transcribing my diagnosis of a bite.  Too bad it made it on the website 
as what he wrote rather than what I said...

Talk to you'uns later,

Jack
