Re: T rex feathers

Well, I can't contact the Black Hills Institute.

It is a company that sells exhibits and whatever and not an academic nor
scientific institution, from what I can gather from their web site.

No researchers connected with them are named anywhere on the web site.   Let
alone e-mails to contact them.  Only a President, an Executive Secretary
(for legal questions), a couple of other executive officers.   Hmm....

And their general info and sales forms do not work.   When I typed in my
question and sent it I got internal server error both times.

Does anyone know how to contact anyone associated with them?
