Over 100 fossilized dinosaur eggs have been found in Argentina, and it could change our understanding of how dinosaurs lived
If you aren't big into paleontology, you may not understand why new evidence that Mussaurus patagonicus -- an early Jurassic Sauropodomorph related to later Sauropods like Diplodocus -- was a herd animal that lived in large social groups that broke themselves up by age is such a big deal.
The Queue: Waiting in the car, waiting for the ride in the dark
Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
