2005

November 2005

November 10: All these "What's New" pages, this one as well as all the past year pages, have been given the UCMP style sheet, footer includes, and most links from the earlier pages have been removed (since many of the links were broken).
November 8: All the Diapsids pages (except Aves), and yes, that includes the dinosaur pages, are "beautified," with the addition of many new photos.
November 1: Mystery Fossil #52 has arrived!

October 2005

October 14: During the first two weeks of October, all the Mammals pages underwent the same sort of "beautification" process as the Special Exhibits (see below). More than 30 new photos now grace the Mammals pages.
October 4: From mid-September through this date, some of the older (and less attractive) Special Exhibits went through a "beautification" process. This involved, in many cases, new photographs. Exhibits affected include Dilophosaurus!, Dinobuzz – Current Dinosaur Research, Great White Shark, Journey into Phylogenetic Systematics, Paleontological Institute of Russia, Sabertooths!, Vendian Animals, and Vertebrate Flight.
October 2: Big Dinos Return to the Lawrence Hall of Science in this exhibit, cosponsored by UCMP, that runs through March 10, 2006.

September 15: Launch date for the expanded version of the Understanding Evolution website. Now it's for students and the general public too!
