Re: T rex feathers



I have bought paleobond and other collecting supplies from the Black Hills Institute. There is a commercial company (that takes credit cards) there and they are actively involved in several digs around the Rapid City area out to several hundred miles away. My internet is pretty much down and I am limping along with dialup so I can't give you more specific information but I believe they were involved with one or more of the big T-Rex's found out here and I think they are currently involved in the active T-Rex dig in eastern montana. Do a google search for Paleobond and you will find them.

Well, I can't contact the Black Hills Institute.

It is a company that sells exhibits and whatever and not an academic nor
scientific institution, from what I can gather from their web site.


No researchers connected with them are named anywhere on the web site. Let
alone e-mails to contact them. Only a President, an Executive Secretary
(for legal questions), a couple of other executive officers. Hmm....


And their general info and sales forms do not work. When I typed in my
question and sent it I got internal server error both times.


Does anyone know how to contact anyone associated with them?

Subject: T rex feathers


Someone named Kyle Lindsey wrote me privately, for some reason, that his
"friends" at the Black Hills Institute have dug up a T rex in Montana and
"had just found some feather imprints on near the humerus." And he told
me
that the web site for Paul Sereno, whatever that is, is
http://www.paulsereno.org.

I followed this link and found no obvious sign of an individual named Paul
Sereno at it; though supposedly he is a paleontologist. No such person
is
on "Paul Sereno's" staff. And their list of discoveries doesn't include
a
T rex. But I wrote to the project manager of Paul Sereno, whatever that
is; Dr. Wendy Taylor,
wtaylor@uchicago.edu, and asked if she knows anything about either report.
And I suppose I'll see what is going on at the Black Hills Institute.
