How to get Involved with the Field of Palaeontology. (Or something)

i went right to google translator :P

I should've.

@Dinosteve

It's alright.

My family left Germany before the Great war broke out. Moved over to canada. 

One of my Grandfathers Fought against the Nazis. 

I do embrace my German heritage, Even though I've never presonally been to germany. 

I take no offense to it.

(I used google translate aswell, I'm still learning german... It's a rather interesting language)

So you are German? Never knew that, thought you were "full" Canadian.

Already a paleontological assistant. Just spent 3 weeks helping prepare and remove a huge Utahn Torvosaur.

@Raptor 401

There is no Such thing as a  "Full canadian"

There is also no such thing as a "Full american."

Now, Canada is basically a Multi-cultural blender, Which through the generations becomes a Born Canadain. 

We are very distant from our german past. My grandparents, were most likely german, My grandparents are not. Most everyone I know either has a German, French, Or another Country from that Central Eroupean area, Due to the Creation of Canada being by Immigrants coming here for a new life.

Because I don't feel like Gorgin you on a class we are taught repeditavly... I won't go too far.

Same tends to go for our Southern neighbor. Both countries were built off of Immigrants, (America tends to rely more on them, And not admit it or accept it as much as they should.) 

I stand and Salute the Maple leaf.

But I will never forget, Nor stop honouring, The roots that allowed me to salute that flag. 

On a different Note, This is one of the biggest turn outs I've had in a long time for one of My Disscusions..

I might do this again, But with another Field Relevant to Dinosaurs.

No one noticed my reply.

i did PK, im glad you are doing what you love

Giant utah torvosaur? how big exactly based on field estimates?

hey PK i noticed an error on your Sig. it says 

it instead of if

That's not what I meant Paden but OKAY.

@Carnosaur,

Let's just say that it would give Saurophoganax a run for its money. ;)

My estimates are at 38-41 ft long, 9-11 ft tall, and around 5-6 tons. BIG Torvosaurus. The best part? It is still a T. tanneri.

I guess Torvo did get huge then...how complete is it? Are they certain it's torvosaurus? man, that got me all kinds of pumped for some reason. Exciting, truly!

Decently. Still a holtype, but enough to tell what it is, and how big it was. A near complete skull and set of arms. ;) This thing's the size of a (pretty) small Rex.

And, yes. I looked at the thing for myself. It's a Torvosaurus.

That's awesome. when's it going to be officially described?  Keep me updated on this thing man, it sounds like a game changer...mainly because most think T. Tanneri is a 9-10 meter animal. This thing though...well it's huge! 

Will do. It is huge, I can say that with complete honesty. 12 meters, four foot long skull. It depends. We're still pulling the thing out of the ground. So, to be honest, probably not for a couple years. :/

assuming this isn't just a freakishly large individual, i look forward to seeing what becomes of this.
