Yeah. From what you say, it is very much a double-edged sword. But man, there are not that noteworthy fossils in here in the Philippines. XP

Did a search, and apparently Samson (Z-rex) supposedly has a complete and undistorted skull. Which is unbelievable as it's hard enough for anything to fossilize, but completely untouched? It must have been buried before any scavengers could get it.
All right. I'll be adding the news section soon. As soon as I prepare links and such.
Wow, complete and untouched skull is simply unbelievable. I will have to look into that later.
Meanwhile anybody have ideas for remembering the genus and such of prehistoric animals? I kind of want to know the whole family tree of dinosaurs, but couldn't find any noon confusing trees on google, I at least want to know all the genus, these are the spots I struggle with when it comes to prehistory. When learning new things in prehistory I like to start with dinosaurs as I was interested in them before the whole prehistory scene, and then I like to branch out from that to the times before and after. So any help on this? I'd also like to remember prehistoric creature's scientific names. Because I feel like in paleontology they call them by scientific name most likely, and I need to learn as much as I can, I really want to be a paleontologist someday, but jobs are rare these days it seems.
Topic 3: What do you feel is most underrated in prehistory? Most overrated?
As for me I think that prehistoric plants are underrated, and the small mammals during the Mesozoic era since people seem to forget they are there due to the dinosaurs. I recently gained an interest in learning more about these small mammals. As for the plants, I even ignore them often, however now that I think of it I may research that a bit and try to learn about plants, plants can be cool and interesting. As for overrated, I am sure everyone says dinosaurs, I say dinosaurs, but also saber toothed cats and mammoths. For one thing they are the only prehistoric animals an average person knows (besides things like sharks that are still alive today) and where did saber tooth tiger ever come from? Somebody in my class said something about a saber tooth tiger so I say it's a saber tooth cat and he says no it's tiger, seriously who came up with the tiger part, it's misleading so many people these days, and when people are inaccurate with these things it annoys me, even if I know they can't help it. Sorry for longer answer, what about you guys?
