This week Science magazine published an article about the work we were doing there. Check out this cover art and the blurb that goes with it:
COVER Depiction of four dinosaurs and dinosaur precursors from fossils found at the Hayden Quarry of northern New Mexico. The dinosaur precursors Dromomeron romeri (lower left) and a Silesaurus-like animal (bottom center) coexisted during the Late Triassic with the dinosaurs Chindesaurus bryansmalli (top center, with crocodylomorph in its mouth) and a coelophysoid theropod (upper right), indicating that the initial rise of dinosaurs was prolonged rather than sudden. See page 358. Image: Donna Braginetz The article from Science can be found at: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/317/5836/358
And there's also a nice article about this at the UC Berkeley website: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2007/07/19_dinosaurs.shtml
Click on the video and you'll get to hear Randy Irmis talking about the finds there.
Congratulations, Randy!
Note to Shannon: It really WAS in incredible week! Let's do it again next year!!!
