Given that it seems to be such an oh-so-fashionable thing to do in the blogosphere, I thought I may as well join the party and post random photos of some of my bookshelves. This collection is in the unsorted/random section of the library... clearly. Note the run of Palaeontology journals, Cogger's Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia, Weidensaul's The Ghost With Trembling Wings, Gans' Biomechanics (awesome for amphisbaenians) and Berta & Sumich's Marine Mammals. The tail-tip of our pet roboraptor peeps in at the bottom...

Among the most controversial and remarkable of living tetrapods are the bizarre amphisbaenians: a group of fossorial, long-bodied carnivorous animals with reduced or absent limbs, spade-shaped or bullet-shaped skulls strongly modified for burrowing, and an annulated body where distinct, regularly…
Another one from the archives. It's one of several articles I wrote in 2006 on obscure tropical rodents, was originally published here, and appears here with new pics and a few new details...

One of my shortish-term goals at Tet Zoo has been to complete the series on gekkotan lizards I started in April 2010 (see below for links to previous parts). We continue with that series here, and this time round we're going to look at what should definitely be regarded as the weirdest of…
It doesn't really matter how many transition fossils paleontologists uncover. Creationists are forever claiming fasely that they've produced "nothing which would qualify as intermediate" between today's whales and their terrestrial ancestors. So this week's fascinating news that we might have…
If it's fashionable, I just may have to post a pic of some of my books.
Darren, if I ever have a blog of my own I suspect the first picture I post will be of my bookshelves. So don't feel bad about jumping on the bandwagon.
It's the latest craze - soon to overwhelm cat macros!
The only book there that I have is 'Walking with Dinosaurs: The Evidence'. If it was my own book, I might have three copies too. :-)
Except for _Athlon_, those all look like the ink is still wet. C'mon, Darren, you can do better than that! Where are your Richard Carringtons? Swinton's?
Looks like someone reshuffled my bookshelves! Science book imps at work?
Darren,
What is the functional morphology book in the right hand corner? and where can I get a copy?
That is Functional Morphology in Vertebrate Paleontology, edited by J.J. Thomason. It has some goodies in it, like Witmer's original Extant Phylogenetic Bracket paper. Amazon and Alibris have used copies as low as...fifty-seven bucks. Ouch! Photocopying never looked so good.
[from Darren: I had a duplicate hardback copy that I (holds breath) GAVE to Mike P. Taylor]
