Mokele M'Bembe - The Hunt For The Living Dinosaur
Information about living dinosaurs in Africa.

Extractions: Mokele M'Bembe The Hunt For The Living Dinosaur Ever since the 19th century when the first dinosaur fossils were identified by scientists, stories and rumours suggested that the extinction of the dinosaurs was not as complete as it seemed, and that at least one species of these great reptiles survived, living in the swamps of central Africa. The tales told of a creature living in the swamps and rivers. The animal was called, "Jago-Nini" which meant "giant diver." Although the actual creature had never been seen by western eyes, explorers were told that it, "Comes out of the water and devours people." Footprints were examined by western scientists which were, "about the size of a good frying pan in circumference and three claws instead o'five." Many tribes were familiar with this elusive animal so the creature goes by a variety of different names including "dingonek," "Ol-umaina," and "chipekwe." Dispite great efforts explorers never saw direct evidence of the creatures existence for themselves, only hearing the tales from the natives An exception was when, in 1932, British cryptozoologist Ivan Sanderson was traveling in Africa and came across large hippo-like tracks in a region with no hippos. He was told by the natives that they were made by a creature named the "mgbulu-eM'bembe". Later Sanderson saw something in the water that seemed too large to be a hippo, but disappeared before he could investigate further.

http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/text/polar.html

Extractions: As a meteorologist, Alfred Wegener was fascinated by questions such as: Why do coal deposits, a relic of lush ancient forests, occur in the icy barrenness of Antarctica? And why are glacial deposits found in now sweltering tropical Africa? Wegener reasoned that such anomalies could be explained if these two present-day continents together with South America, India, and Australia originally were part of a supercontinent that extended from the equator to the South Pole and encompassed a wide range of climatic and geologic environments. The break-up of Pangaea and subsequent movement of the individual continents to their present positions formed the basis for Wegener's continental drift theory. Recently, paleontologists (specialists in studies of fossils) have carefully studied some well-preserved dinosaur remains unearthed at Dinosaur Cove, at the southeastern tip of mainland Australia. Dinosaurs found in most other parts of the world are believed to have lived in temperate or tropical regions, but these Australian species, popularly called "polar" dinosaurs, seemed well adapted to cooler temperature conditions. They apparently had keen night vision and were warm-blooded, enabling them to forage for food during long winter nights, at freezing or sub-freezing temperatures.

Extractions: Welcome to: The Linda Hall Library is now presenting an exhibition of original printed materials related to the history of dinosaur discovery. On view are most of the classic papers of dinosaur lore, including the original publications of Gideon Mantell, Richard Owen, Othniel Marsh, and a host of others. The focus of the exhibition is on images, both of discovery and of restoration. The exhibition runs from October 17, 1996 through April 30, 1997. What follows is a hypertext catalog of the exhibition. It proceeds through all forty-nine items of the exhibition, but includes links to thirty-five more works that could not be accomodated in the exhibition hall. There are 136 original images. A printed exhibition catalog is also available . It has a one-page entry on each of the 49 exhibited items and contains 53 illustrations.

Extractions: Dinosaurs premiered on April 26, 1991. The show is about a prehistoric dinosaur family whose lives are remarkably like human lives today. The teenage son goes through some of the same things a normal teenage human does, the mom has to deal with the same things a human mom does, and the baby seems an awful lot like a human baby (only more so). This show is very clever, very funny, and way ahead of its time! Voice Cast: Earl Sinclair ........................................

If one accepts the plain testimony of the Bible, with no compulsion to harmonize scripture with evolutionary assertions, there is no doubt but that dinosaurs and humans were contemporary, as the following considerations indicate. in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is . . .

Dinosaurs And The Expanding Earth - Introduction
Book which provides an explanation for the gigantic sizes of dinosaurs the theory of an Expanding Earth which began smaller and thus had less gravity.
http://www.dinox.freeserve.co.uk/index.htm

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Dinosaurs, and a rich variety of land based prehistoric life, achieved surprisingly massive sizes in comparison to present day life. This ability of dinosaurs to achieve gigantic sizes conflicts with studies which indicate that the largest of today's animals have reached their maximum size. Many people have asked why the dinosaurs were so large, but an examination of the size limits on today's life indicates that a reduced gravity during the dinosaur's time would have allowed them to grow to gigantic sizes. One explanation for this reduced gravity would be if the earth was smaller in both size and mass during the dinosaurs' time. There is geological evidence for the earth's increase in diameter since the dinosaur's time - an expanding earth. My book Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth provides details of the controversial theory so you can examine why I believe this theory holds an astonishing truth. The web site gives a brief introduction to some of the main concepts behind the theory. There are also links to other sites about gigantic dinosaurs and their lifestyles and the evidence for the Expanding Earth Theory, a Comments Section, a Quiz and some suggestions for Further Reading Stephen Hurrell RELATED INFORMATION Book Praise Further Reading Site Contents Comments board ...

How Jell-O(R) Killed The Dinosaurs
Explains what *really* happened to the dinosaurs. Includes pictures.
http://www.frankwu.com/Jell-O.html

Extractions: by Frank Wu and Ben Lethbridge Background: The Collision In 1979, geologist Walter Alvarez discovered unexpectedly large amounts of the metal iridium in sediments that date from the time of the dinosaur extinction. Alvarez and others have taken this to be evidence that a large object struck the earth and, directly indirectly, killed off the dinosaurs. The Presence of Jell-O Jell-O 's Role Several possible mechanisms could account, singly or in combination, for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. Those related to climate change have been discussed extensively in the popular press. The impact itself would have had an effect, as would the environmental changes brought about by widespread surface distribution How Much Jell-O Would an Apatosaurus Eat if an Apatosaurus Could Eat Jell-O? An apatosaurus, drawn by the natural and artificial flavorings (especially chocolate), would daily consume 20 apatosaurus-size servings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and between-meals snacks. Originally published in The Journal of Irreproducible Results, 1992, vol. 36, no. 5 (July/August), pp. 7-8. 9/29/98: I just found out today that Jell-O is owned by Philip Morris, the tobacco conglomerate, thus indirectly substantiating Gary Larson's theory that it was SMOKING that killed the dinosaurs.
