The Queue: Visiting the Allosaurus Annex

Saurophaganax maximus was thought to be a very large predatory theropod that lived in the famous Morrison Formation of Jurassic North America. Several of the bones assigned to this genus were very similar to, but significantly larger than, those of Allosaurus specimens which had already been found in the Morrison, while others were unusual for those of a theropod at all, especially some of the vertebrae.

 


The Queue: bird

My daughter is working on her Silver award for Girl Scouts. The gist of it is that she has to find a way to make her community a better place, then take action to do it. So, she’s working on a project to bring bird houses to (among others) retirement homes and libraries, as a way to make it more pleasant for both humans and strengthening the ecosystem as a whole, not just the birds. As such, I am helping her research which birds live in the area, which bird predators live in the area, and how to make a bird house safe and relatively predator-proof. You could call me a real bird brain right now.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and — wait, I didn’t mean it like that.
