Thanks to our Slog commenters we have extra dino news!

Says Fifty-Two-Eighty:

It’s not really dinosaur-related, but this isn’t really the big news around here. That would be the discovery of a tar pit near Vail, where they’re pulling out complete, unfossilized mammoth and mastodon skeletons. (“Unfossilized” means the bone marrow’s still intact. That means the DNA’s still viable.)

Yeah, mammoth DNA. AWESOME.

Peter F adds:

Also: dinosaur fossils found in marble church architecture near Milan.

The photo in this link is blowing my mind.

  1. Dinosaur fossils in a church built between 1532 & 1660.
    I’m dying to hear the Creationists spin on this.

  2. Your link about the mastodon is to the first article; there was another one either yesterday or today that says they’ve found a couple more skeletons there, including one they think is a mammoth. I’m too drunk to try to find it, though.
