Roll on 1500.

Here’s hoping for another five years!!

That skull is one of the famous radioactive Dinosaurs. In the back wall of that picture frame there are special vents that circulate the air to prevent the build-up of radioactivity. When they busted open the old pseudo sealed cube they had to do so with some degree of hazmat suits (while the museum was closed).due to the accumulated radiation.

She’s hot, just not a whole lot

In addition to making research harder (like you mentioned), the issue I’ve encountered with slab mounts like this is that too many visitors assume they are looking at fossils exactly as they were found, never removed from the surrounding matrix. A bit misleading, really.

2) I did ask politely right at the start of the comment thread, and then got more blunt, but you are either not bothering to read replies to your comments or are selectively ignoring them, so let me be much more clear: Please go away. There are lots of people online I am sure would be happy to argue with you and may even educate you, but I am not one of them, and as this is my blog, I don’t think it unreasonable to ask you to stop commenting like this.

Typically there are three common meanings for evolution:

Evolution #1: Microevolution: Small-scale changes in a population of organisms.

Macroevolution can be divided into two parts:

Evolution #2: Universal Common Descent: The view that all organisms are related and are descended from a single common ancestor.

Evolution #3: Natural Selection: The view that an unguided process of natural selection acting upon random mutation has been the primary mechanism driving the evolution of life.

It’s not uncommon for an evolutionist to take evidence for microevolution (evolution #1), and claim it supports common descent (evolution #2) or development solely through unguided mechanisms (evolution #3).

But in 2000 Douglas Erwin wrote a paper in Evolution and Development (Vol. 2(2):78-84, 2000) entitled “Macroevolution is more than repeated rounds of microevolution” where he explained the historical controversy over whether microevolutionary processes can explain macroevolutionary change.

As I said previously, four well-known technical books are Levinton’s “Macroevolution” (2001), Gould’s “Structure of Evolutionary Theory” (2002), Valentine’s “On the Origin of Phyla” (2004), and Futuyma’s “Evolution,” (2009).

How many examples of macroevolution are mentioned in these books?

Zero.

So please enlighten me. Cite a biology text or some papers from the scientific literature which gives one or more examples of macroevolution regarding dinosaurs, or any other animal.
