I thought there was only one ray from the Green River, but there were two.Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465158136828482934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-47040012444585380202012-03-03T11:31:54.066-06:002012-03-03T11:31:54.066-06:00I think Eurypterids and giant dragonflies are very...I think Eurypterids and giant dragonflies are very cool too. <br /><br />I'm doing my best in school because I want to be an invertebrate paleontologist!Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465158136828482934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-9099880303220686682012-03-03T11:23:23.916-06:002012-03-03T11:23:23.916-06:00That's cool that we were both there at the sam...That's cool that we were both there at the same time! <br /><br />My main interests are biology and paleobiology. I also like to learn about modern fish and invertebrates. In school I've been studying botany and that's interesting. This week I learned about different kinds of plant roots.Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465158136828482934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-8767724291992158732012-02-28T08:48:04.330-06:002012-02-28T08:48:04.330-06:00The Diplocaulus skull is so cool! When I was your ...The Diplocaulus skull is so cool! When I was your age, Diplocaulus and Dimetrodon were my favourite Palaeozoic animals. I didn't know that much about invertebrates back then, though... I think my current favourite animal from the Palaeozoic is either the giant Protodonatas from the Carboniferous or the Silurian Eurypterids found in Norway.<br /><br />The museum looks great! I hope you pay attention at school so you can become an invertebrate paleontologist at a museum like that some time.Gunnarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09160004621405227245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-57740649192811937142012-02-25T10:32:54.706-06:002012-02-25T10:32:54.706-06:00Sure looks like you had a great time.

I've since been reading your blog and sharing with friends - they all love it. Science is the BOMB! Keep us updated on your next adventure - we would love to help you get there! Do you have any other academic passions? Outer space, ancient Egypt, sacred geometry?!<br />I hope you had a wonderful time in Chicago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-23058678654973934162012-02-24T07:17:35.002-06:002012-02-24T07:17:35.002-06:00I think you need a laser pointer instead of a flas...I think you need a laser pointer instead of a flashlight!
