The next edition of The Boneyard will be right here this coming Saturday. The special effects-driven movie 10,000 BC also comes out this weekend, and although I'll post anything paleontological that is submitted, I would encourage those interested in submitting to write something about any of the creatures featured in the film (sabercats, terror birds, mammoths, etc.).
I can already tell that the film is going to be absolutely horrid, but much like Jurassic Park III I'm mostly interested in it to see the restorations of the extinct creatures. I may use the film to resurrect the "bad monster movie of the week" feature that I let fall by the wayside, but that'll depend on how many brain cells I have left after watching.

Let's see -- monumental architecture, boats with sails, domesticated mammoths: I think this film was produced by the same guys who made Scott of the Antarctic.
Terror birds eh, what continent is this supposed to be?
Seems to take place all over the damn globe. I refuse to see the film based on its stupidity. Yeah, we'd all like to see mammoth herds and terror birds, but I'm sure YouTube will pick up some clips of the extinct beasts from the movie. I also don't remember saber-toothed cats being that huge--bigger even than modern lions? I don't think so!
Can I submit my Aetiogate poll to the carnival?
Sure thing; I'll try to keep up-to-date on the whole Aetogate thing, so I'll make sure your post gets in there.
Cameron; I have no idea where the film is set. I imagine they just took a mish-mash of animals they thought were cool and lumped them together. Like Zach, I would be tempted to sit it out and wait for the bootleg, but at the same time I'm something of a purist in that I like to see the artificially-rendered beasties on the big screen.
I've decided to treat it purely as popcorn fluff, along the lines of One Million Years B.C. and King Kong. =)
