this is it for now.

An extensive new Web feature takes viewers back in history and down
into the 30-foot ravine where the world's first nearly-complete dinosaur
skeleton was found in 1858 in New Jersey along the eastern coast of the
United States.

The Hunterian Museum's web site now includes a large number of images
relating to its exhibition. This includes pages on dinosaurs and the
discovery of dinosaurs in Scotland.

Russ' Lair/ list of dino digs

I have a dinosaur site with many links on dinosaurs and vertebrate
paleontology that you should check our for your first year class.
*****
Lost World Web site
http://www.randomhouse.com/site/lostworld/
There's a rather sparse list of "story-related" links, a Quicktime movie of
(parts of) the T-rex's attack on the herd of dinos from JP, and some
excerpts from the story. According to one of those, Crichton didn't learn
much from his previous visit to JP; he's *still* using electric vehicles,
this time with photovoltaic cells and experimental lithium-ion
battteries--and no backup systems. (These aren't vehicles left over from
the original story, they are brought to the site by the new scientists.)
Be warned, however, that the *only* way to see any this stuff is with a
browser that supports imagemaps--there are NO text links. Another good
example of bad Web design, this page even uses Netscape's exclusive (since
it's not part of any standard) "client pull" technology to load images.
If you don't do imagemaps, the most interesting text excerpt can be found
at <http://www.randomhouse.com/site/lostworld/rex.html>, and the movies
(the page suggests there are two movies, but the URLs point to the same
place) are at <http://www.randomhouse.com/site/lostworld/video.html>.

Dinosaur Art and Modeling page at:
http://www.indyrad.iupui.edu/dinoart.html
********
The National Science Museum, Tokyo, the most biggest science
museum in Japan, started WWW information service at :
http://www.kahaku.go.jp
You can see text information and very small picture of Futabasuzuki-
ryu (one of the most complete fossil of plesiosaurs found from Japan)
at the Midori-kan 4th floor (green in the map), but the English page is
constructing now.

http://www.io.com/sjgames/ - dinosaurs, Lego, Kahlua!
******
http://www.gla.ac.uk/Museum/
You should look at both the 'dinosaur' and 'Earth-Life' pages to find
out about fossils and dinosaurs.
My thanks to the following people who helped me compile this list:
Marion Hanson, Russ (Lair) Jacobson, David Meyer, Jeff Polling, Mike Tipping,
Ted Smith, Alan Geralnick, Neil Clark, Kiran Wagle, Jay Rafferty, and
a helpful Japanese dino lister whose name my system garbles.
