- Built nests
- Social
- Egg mountain in Montana
- Lived in colonies
- Traveled in herds
- Traveled in herds
- Morphology changes with ontogeny
- Juveniles can recognize the adults and vice versa

- Dinosaur DNA rare in amber.
More likely to get Flora or
mosquito DNA . More likely to
get it from a dinosaur!
- Grant from National Science
Foundation to attempt Tyrannosaurus
rex DNA extraction from thigh bone
with Dr Mary Schweitzer
- Found heme but couldn't extract DNA

- Avian dinosaurs v's non avian dinosaurs. Extinct = non avian dinosaurs, Avian are modern birds

- Genetic modification of chicken to make a
"chickenosaur" Reverse engineering Loss of tail,
formation of wings and gene switching off teeth thorough
bird embryogenesis

- Dinosaur hands
- Archaeoptrex has a primative hand, hand is now a wing
- Embryonic pigeon looks ooks like archaeoptrex
- Gene expression (turns on a fuses them together to create the wing)
