Quick question when will this challenge start? Can we start right away or wait till September?
Mod
You can start right away.
Ooooooh, gimme gimme! Um, I mean please? My 8 year old self would be ashamed of me if I didn't do this challenge, actually. My dinosaur phase coincided with the first Jurassic Park movie (the phase started, like, only a year or so before the movie came out, lucky me). So definitely sign me up. ^_^

Welcome to the challenge, Kira. Your thread is ready for you.

This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
Your name is Dr. Grant. You and your assistant are flying to Costa Rica. You have been asked to identify what might be dinosaur DNA.
Your task is to examine the DNA (read 1 task from the five tasks given for a dinosaur).
You will then post on the DNA Verification thread asking for confirmation whether you have successfully deduced the correct DNA.
If you have not, you will then read for the next dinosaur.
Before you begin the process, I will ask how many dinosaurs you wish to read for. There are 20 possible matches to the unidentified DNA. This number will be noted in your Completion Posts.
After signing up, you will receive your own thread. It will be titled: "[Your name] Examines Dinosaur DNA".Sign up is now closed.HOW TO PLAY:
1. Take a look at the list of dinosaurs.
2. Choose your first extinct reptile and post it into your thread.
3. The moderator will then post the related information and tasks.
4. When you read for one of the tasks, post on your thread the following:
