Triceratops vs Tyrannosaurus

Dave Hone’s Archosaur Musings [2011-08-25 09:29:29]   recommend this post  (1098 visits)

Perhaps the most obvious mainstay of dinosaurs in art and culture is the stand-off between the giant, fanged Tyrannosaurs and the horned and frilled Triceratops. It’s pretty much a cliché for dinosaurs that these two will fight each other when [...]

Magnitude 5.3 earthquake in Colorado today. Why?

Geology in Motion [2011-08-23 17:33:21]   recommend this post  (920 visits)

A magnitude 5.3 earthquake in California might not attract much national attention, but one of this magnitude in Colorado did so today near Trinidad, a town very close to the border with New Mexico.  A precursor of magnitude 4.6 occurred about [...]

Few right and wrong things about geology in Iceland, part 1

Iceland Volcano and Earthquake blog [2011-08-22 00:29:34]   recommend this post  (906 visits)
