Hey guys, apologies for the vagueness but I'm currently packing my stuff before going on a nice trip so can't go into great detail on any of these stories. Enjoy!

Albinykus, one of the world's smallest dinosaurs.

Colorado Ice Age fossil bonanza!

Scelidosaurus finally hits the big-time!

Tapuiasaurus gets head for the first time.

Masiakasaurus' in detail.

Frogs find lost teeth.

Might make specific threads at a later date if there is sufficient interest in any of the stories.

Very interesting reading in all of those. But the one that got me thinking was the frog's teeth one. It clearly states that the frog with teeth is a mammal. (Read it it says the marsupial frog)

Marsupials are mamalians so a marsupial frog is a very odd thing to claim.

Anyway sorry for the silly rant LOL Have a great trip Galvasean see you when you get back.

'Marsupial frog' is just a name. Similar to how a bull frog is not a bull.

I know bull dogs were bred for the blood sport of Bull baiting. Bull frogs would be a very slow way of having a blood sport, I mean how big would the frog have to be?

Yes Galvasean, I can see the marsupial frog being named that way, I was just having a gentle wind up. Sorry, it was a poor attempt at humour that fell flat.
