Free State Dino

Cool, I never new we had these roaming around as well, I thought all that was found in our ancient sediments were the more crocodile like critters.
"Scientists have described a new primitive dinosaur species, Eocursor parvus, which lived in the Late Triassic - about 210 million years ago.
Unearthed in South Africa's Free State, the creature appears to have been a small, agile plant-eater."

Fields of fossils

This past weekend I was in the Rouxville district on a farm doing some bonding and fishing... at the same time the owner showed me the fossils they had found in some rocks that had recently collapsed after rains, but what he did not tell me was that next to these rocks was a veritable field of fossils! I do not claim to be a paleontologist but even to my lay mans eye this is a remarkable site. So I have posted some of what I saw here for all to enjoy...

When huge is not enough...

To describe this ship. The LAURA MAERSK is the largest container ship afloat.
Quite impressive specs and with the latest technologies probably one of the most environmentally friendly... but the greens still disagree. Why not do a virtual tour and find out for yourself, I for one am impressed.
