From Smithsonian.org:

By the last day, my brain ached with details of flying Microraptor,
bounding crocodiles, marsupial bone microstructure and dozens of other
topics. When my friends at the conference asked “What did you like
best?” after the technical sessions finally concluded, I was only
capable of grunts and indelicate gestures.

I’ve had a day to settle down and process what I saw. And I know
this–at SVP, dinosaurs rule. This isn’t to say that the conference is
all about the Mesozoic celebrities. I saw many excellent talks on
prehistoric fish, mammals, amphibians and other forms of ancient life.
But, for a dinosaur fan, SVP offers a glut of dinosaur science from new
discoveries about the beloved Tyrannosaurus rex to brand-new
species that have only just come out of the ground.  Since this blog is
called Dinosaur Tracking, I’m going to focus on some of the stand-out
dinosaur science I saw during the meeting…..
