no opposible hallux?

somebody better notify talkorigins.

*moves one trait from the bird-pile to the dinosaur-pile*

this will be yet another problem for creationists, who contend that archaeopteryx is "just a bird." i have always considered archae to primarily dinosaurian, in that it's theropodal features far outnumber it's avian features. i described it's dinosaurian features in this post some time back. that thread would be a good place for debate, should anyone want to, uh, actually answer that post about why archaeopteryx is not "just a bird."

Re: National Geographic Article

Of course we'll have to listen to rants about how it was falsly portrayed before etc....

oh god, don't tell randman. everytime science changes a little, it's guilty of lies and deception in his eyes.

of course. this time, the deception was perpetrated by creationists, in claiming that it's a bird.

Re: National Geographic Article

Since creationists are immune to data, they see scientists who defend their positions as dogmatic ("You take evolution on faith!"), and scientists who modify their positions as data come in ("If you had truly believed your prior stand, you couldn't have changed it!) as frauds.

It's the new Scylla and Charybdis, but the same old song and dance.

double standards are fun.

Re: Small museums and big displays

Yes, the specimen was purchased from a private collection, for an absorbent sum of money.

I'm pretty sure you meant an exorbitant amount of money, or are you saying they were soaking them?

i thought he meant "abhorent," personally. but i'm never one to point out typos -- ever tried to read one of my posts? lol.
