Paleontology
 
On the subject of paleontology, prehistoric creatures, I studied the subject at length and found many theories questionable, less than satisfactory. I dared to think about the subjects with a fresh perspective and accumulated notes and thoughts over a period of about 20 years. Some discuss specific animals and what I feel are the misconceptions about them. Other notes cover larger, more generalized issues. I have tried to make the link descriptions here sufficiently detailed that you will know what the topic really covers, so you may more easily select any which interest you.
 
P1 - Did sauropod dinosaurs have trunks like elephants?

P2 - The color of a Brchiosaurus?
 
P3 - Updated Discussion of the Sauropod Trunk Issue.
 
P4 - Diplodocus Discussion

Film Commentaries
 
Old films appear to be quite popular and fans of these movies often love to know more about "the making of", behind the scenes information about the film. Over the years, I've seen some of the films I did become cult classics of a sort, and I've found websites and discussion boards about these curious films or shows. And I have also found some false descriptions, mis-information, and the occasional outright lie in people's descriptions about these. So I thought some of this mis-information deserved to be corrected, and for those who simply loved the movie and like to know more behind the scenes, I will explain my part in the making of it.
