Since I was 18 months old, I've wanted to be a paleontologist. Every once in a while (sometimes daily, but I stop doing it when I don't feel like it), I Google 'Dinosaur News.' I'm going to post interesting articles I find ITT.

I'll add onto this list every time I've read through and found articles.

this is a good thread thank you

I've been interested in paleontology since I was ffffff uhmmm four? And honestly while I'm not as interested as when I was younger I still love to return to it and read about it and now I have the mental capacity to absorb all the informations

anyway yes can I be added to the pinglist please?

Alright! :)
@CoelacanthHead

Alright! :)
Hhhh bless this thread. ;u; I've been actually interested in paleontology when I was eight, first looking up the classic Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, and then it went off from there. At the moment, I'm focusing my interest on trilobites—they're rather adorable, heh. :'>

May I be added to the ping list? :)

That's super cool! Although i've moved on to wanting to study Forensics now, I know that i was really into paleontology when i was younger.

Then again, what did i not get into in my younger years. For a while there i wanted to study parasites too i mean ? ? ? ? ?? At one point i even wanted to be an astronaut.

Totally gonna read those articles, though! Super interesting reading material yess.

@Steffon

Sure. :)

Trilobites are cool, but they never fascinated me like pterosaurs and dinosaurs did. I've always been a reptilian fan.

@doctorlecter

Do you want to be added to the ping list? And Forensics sounds interesting. You can actually infer a lot from dinosaurs' teeth as well, so perhaps in college I should look into it a bit...

I've always loved dinosaurs and other awesome ancient life. These days, I'm more interested in modern dinosaurs rather than Mesozoic ones. I also like Permian stuff and early amphibians since I did a research project on them for class. And I can't forget plants! I took a paleobotany class once, which was pretty awesome, and I love having living fossil plants. I have a Ginkgo and some cycads and Equisetum. So yes, I love all kinds of things. Taking me to the museum is a bad idea unless you want to spend hours in Prehistoric Journey listening to me go on about cephalopods, pelycosaurs, and Calamites.

I've a casual interest in it, mostly in invertebrate remains. Trilobites are cool stuff.

@Korvus

Wow! Are you going to be a paleontologist, too?

Next year I want to join the NYPS (New York Paleontological Society).

I watched Walking With Dinosaurs when I was six and I became obsessed. Australian megafauna is also pretty interesting. Nowadays I'm more into collecting and reading up on gemstones and rocks. I have one fossil though, a clam shell.

I'd like to be added to the ping list too please ^_^
