Here they constructed a memorial which celebrated revolution, faith and an idealized ancient world. At its center, this sculpture of the mythical Children of Lir condemned by an evil stepmother to wander the oceans as swans until the coming of Christ...
There is an Ireland shrouded in clich, of heroes and villains, lost battles and sad songs. Perched on the margins of Europe, a claustrophobic island cut off from the world, its people turned in upon themselves, victims of their own ancient hatreds an...
Back in Los Angeles, last-minute preparations are under way to get the dinosaurs ready for the public. It's only now that you get a sense of just how many people have been involved in creating this exhibition, from the artists to the designers, to th...
For those few dinosaurs from whom fossilized feathers had been found, largely in China, we can now put the finishing touches to our construction. So has this changed the way that artists are painting their reconstructions? I mean you often see some d...

But its not completely finished. Paul and his team need Luis advice on a couple of issues. There are several unknowns. And a complete tail has never been found. So on the older drawings that we have, theres maybe 53 tailbones but the newer thinking i...
The questions about Louis's baby T-rex run even deeper than its appearance. With such limited fossils, some scientists have actually questioned whether the bones might belong to a different species of dinosaur entirely, something like a T-rex, but mu...
