OMG! Domes!

The number one requested thing this year has been glass display domes for the Stegosaurus. We have them. They will hold any of the Tinysaurs, and in some cases, more than one. Make a tableaux with the T-Rex and The Triceratops if you like.

We also have the smaller domes that fit the T-Rex, the Woolly, and the Triceratops.

He then swiftly removed their brains...

  Scientists create detailed map of dinosaur brain

"To map the auditory regions of the brain, Jarvis quietened the animals down in a darkened room and then played bird songs to birds and alligator grunts to alligators. He then swiftly removed their brains, froze them, sliced them, and looked at the genes that had switched on in different regions."

Time to clean your dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Sue sprucing up for the holidays

CHICAGO  — The Field Museum's famous Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur skeleton, Sue, is getting ready for the holidays.

One of the 67-million-year-old dinosaur's twice yearly cleanings will happen Tuesday morning at the Chicago museum.

That's when geologist Bill Simpson plans to ride a lift around the dinosaur fossil. He'll blow the dust off Sue with vacuum cleaner, then use a feather duster on all of her 200 bones.

The process takes more than an hour. Simpson's the only person permitted to clean the dinosaur.
