Very inspirational article. Here in Dorset, UK, we probably have one of the biggest fossil deposits in Europe. School kids keep unearthing marvellous things almost in every school trip. It is quite easy to get them into that scientific thinking gear because they are fascinated with all things dinosaur.

With an average annual temperature high enough to allow dinosaurs to live in Alaska 70 million years ago (when Alaska was 400 miles closer to the North Pole), one wonders why global warming today is such a big issue? Given the annual global temperatures had to be much higher than they are today to allow dinosaurs to thrive for over 100 million years, are the people so concerned about global warming hiding another agenda that is more important to them than the effects of global warming on the planet? (Perhaps ecology?) Which is perfectly alright and justifiable if stated honestly.

To try to pervert science to fit one’s hidden private agenda and convince millions of un-educated people of your position is unforgivable though. It is good that you are teaching young people to question so called experts and hold their positions to scientific scrutiny.

I routinely take my kids out to the desert and have them dig up in certain spots to see what sort of artifacts they come up with. After a long day of finding different types of rocks and other objects we try to analyze back home and keep what we think are treasures. Teaching kids science with real life experience can really have a lasting impression.

To answer your question, here is an interesting article on carbon dating to detect age of dinosaurs.

Hey – interesting post. Scientists can do so many amazing things these days. Im a fairly simple person and never been a whiz at science but I do appreciate the massive strides they’ve made over the years. Using leaf edges to predict age is incredible – I can’t even get my head around how carbon dating works…but I assume they could use carbon dating as well, right?
