Tracks and Traces 5.8.2010

Written in Stone is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com (as well as a few other online stores)! The description of the book, author bio, etc. will have to be updated, but otherwise it is good to see it get its own page, and many thanks to the several of you who have already pre-ordered copies.

Yet another cool new paleo blog – Crurotarsi: The Forgotten Archosaurs. Looks like I am going to have to update my blogroll again.

In the “online first” section of Evolution: Education and Outreach there is a new paper on science communication (which also covers the Darwinius kerfuffle) by Carl Zimmer. Check it out!

How many times are they going to re-make this? – the first trailer for this summer’s cheesy horror movie Piranha 3D.

Scicurious got an awesome new tattoo! Check it out and learn how Glendon Mellow of The Flying Trilobite fame designed it.

How the famous AMNH Tyrannosaurus rex mount got its start – “The Prize-Fighter of Antiquity“.

Several new review copies arrived in the mail this week – The Fossil Hunter, Supernatural Selection, and Bonobo Handshake (and I just finished Barnum Brown). I will post reviews of each in the coming weeks.

Behind the scenes of the short film series “Green Porno” about the sex lives of animals.

I expect that “Piranha 3D” will meet the high bar set by such classics of cinema as “Jaws 3D” and “Friday the 13th 3D”.
