A Roman sarcophagus discovered near Trafalgar Square could lead to the map of Roman London being redrawn. The limestone coffin containing a headless skeleton was found during excavations at St-Martin-in-the-Fields Church, central London.

Older than the sun, the meteorite scientists call 'the real time machine'
As lumps of rock go it looks much like any other, unexceptional despite the deep red of its cool, smooth surface. The pieces range in size from pea-sized lumps to larger fist-sized chunks.

Bigfoot film: frame 352, and all that
For some time now I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a blog post about sasquatch, North America’s legendary cryptic ape. And, generally, I’ve decided that doing so would be a really bad idea: I am chicken, and as someone trying to gain a reputation within the academic world, I think that even expressing an interest in issues like this is a bad idea. That’s ridiculously unfair of course, stemming only from ill-informed knee-jerk negativity to this subject, and given that scientific inquiry of any phenomenon is a worthwhile pursuit, I like to think that more zoologists should actually get informed about mystery animals...

Bigfoot remains a Texas-size mystery
With 300 million people in this country, it's hard to believe that much of anything could happen in America without someone seeing it. But there is a sizeable number of people who believe that an entire race of apelike men, or manlike apes — beings who are seen only rarely, if at all — has lived in America's forests and swamps for hundreds of years. Craig Woolheater describes what he saw on a trip back to Texas...
