Amongst Sauria of Charlotte

Photo-0016
On my last day, in Charlotte. I went to the discovery Palace. It a museum designed for children. I went there, to see the Pompeii exhibitions. Which I may talk about later. I also saw an IMAX, film an ancient Greece. However as you have guessed the Dinosaurs caught my eyes.

A sauropod, tending her eggs. The Models are quite small, which I think is a pity. It would be nice to give the kids, a sense of scale.
Though budget and space, play a part here alas. Photo-0018
I was pleased to see this,
Pachycephalosaurus

Not one of the normal gang of 4. T-rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brontosaurus. There is a discussion about the skulls of this beast. Where they used as a weapon, in courtship, as a ram, or for sneaky headbuts. The type a basketball player would be proud of

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment.

I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
