"In the Late Cretaceous" is a great short story by one of SF's best authors, Connie Willis. It's in her short story collection titled _Impossible Things_ and is about the paleontology dept. of a university that finds itself becoming obsolete and evolves. The rest of the stories aren't about paleo, but they're great anyway. (so's her _DoomsdayBook_) Kelli Warnken Del Norte, CO
