When feathered dinosaurs ruled the Earth: Mei long
Mei long or “soundly sleeping dragon” provided a rare glimpse into the behaviour of bird-like dinosaurs when Xu Xing and colleagues uncovered this well-preserved goose-sized fossil in Liaoning province in 2003. Mei long was resting with its head nestled under one of its forelimbs, like a modern bird with its head under its wing. It was probably buried alive under volcanic ash 125 million years ago.(via: New Scientist) (Image: Mick Ellison)

Hello! I'm Jason, a geek dad from Durham, NC. This blog was conceived as the mutant offshoot of the Random Signal podcast, and it is the exclusive home of the RS Droidcast. I like weird movies, interesting animals, comic books, science fiction, paleontology, and lots of other awesome stuff. I also like cephalopods, so much so that I have a whole other blog just for them! Visit Indie Squid Kid for a Kraken-sized dose of tentacly goodness.
