"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

What Kirk Saw
Feather dinos!
Feather Dinos with colors
An Oviraptorid nest, with a comparison to a brooding Peregrine-- a thing "wings" could be used for before flight..
Antarctic Explorer Lincoln Ellsworth's shotgun : Australopithecines!
Yup,in that 1st photo, the feathers look very EMU-like, which is kinda how I imagined dino-feathers myself--emu feathers are SO insulating(from heat or cold!)and protective and practical, and heck, Emus ARE like present day dinos, for sure! Just look at their tracks! I was lucky enough to help get to raise and care for emus at the coupla zoos I've worked at, and I've had a "thing" for them ever since! I just don't like "herding" them(because you CAN'T!). You've heard the term " like herding cats" describing something difficult? Something IMPOSSIBLE is "like herding emus"!.....L.B.
