In The News...

Reptile fossil with two headsI was talking to some of my friends the other day about palaeo news stories and how it is interesting to see what types of stories move from the academic world to the general audience. In case you missed some of them here are a couple of recent stories I found particularly interesting. I will link to news items occasionally, preferably to popular news sites instead of journals because I am aware that outside of an academic institution journals are not easily accessible.
