Paleo Ontogeny in the News

While the discovery of this new baby Parasaurolophus is really exciting, I was most impressed with the discoverers' multimedia approach to presenting their findings. A dedicated website was set up (http://dinosaurjoe.org/) to house all the content related to the actual discover, the bones, the reconstructions, and the science. They even upload the 3D scanned material onto the very handy p3d.in service that I have been using.

I'd be curious to see what sort of feedback the discoverers received from this  multimedia release.
