Maja’s Reviews > The Story of Birds: A New History from Their Dinosaur Origins to the Present > Status Update

Sooo interesting, oh my God. I love the way Steve Brusatte is able to teach me one second and then makes me go back to a world 125 mya ;-;

New steps I can add in bird evolution! And today I found THE perfect showcase for my fossils. I'm going to pick it up friday evening and I'm sooo excited to put the ceratites and bones and teeth in there just like the minerals I own ... decorating it will be my favourite time ;-;

We love Solnhofen limestone! Not only in cause of the fossils, but also in cause of the lithographic background. They used Solnhofen limestone in Gotha for Perthes maps and books. Just imagine this: using limestone for lithographies (geographical maps) while you print the exact place of Solnhofen onto paper where also archaeopteryx and compsognathus were found?! Feels magical ;-;
