well, it's not traced, it's adapted, I really like your color choices here, and even though manga style is great, I like this better

Cool! Castiel look like one of the reliefs from the "Tower of the Wind" in Athens. Looks awesome

the first time was for pleassure with my High School senior class. Just 20 of us. Then I went several other times with my university archaeological class on several digs. Far off the common tourist traps.

I use to dig in college. I have been on didgs in greece Egypt, Wales and Norway. In greece we only found a few oil lamps and coins. Nothing huge like ruins or a colassal stature. Finds like that are very rare. But really anything you dig up is worthy. Yo think you are holding something that no one has touched in over 2000 years - there is a powerful link there.
If you ever go, stay away from the tour groups and tourists traps. Explore on your own. Rent a bicycle or moped and cross the country or atleast one of the islands. Its a whole very real experience when you stay away from the tourists traps and tours.

I just always liked history. There are tresure hunters today, good and bad. Some steal relics for their own means and some for museums. But more than often they end up destroying more than they take because they do not have the education to know what is valuble and what is worth.
It depends of the laws of whatever nation you live in: In America you can pretty much keep what you find but museums encourage you turning what you find over to them. But if you find something on goverment owned land, like a national park, the government can confiscate the item. Canada and England is the same way. Finding and takling an artifact from another county is Illegal in almost every country.
I have a few dinosaur bones and ege shells and some native arrowwheads because they are not worth much to museums.
The best I can said in a word for each country is: Greace is a Marvel and Egypt is Colassal.

Well Egypt is one of those nations thats very tight about what is found in Egypt STAYS in Egypt. They are fighting every nation to take back what was stolen from their nation since the 1700's.
Dinosaur bones are a dime a dozen these days. Bones of a well known dinosaurs would not get you anything except a handshake and they will want to know where you found it. Rare dinosaurs will bring in some money and an unknown dino bones can get you pretty famous. What peeps do not realize is that there are very few WHOLE fossils of dinosaurs ever found.
Digs can be fun but it can be weeks to months of digging before you find ANYTHING. You best bet is first to go to your local college or university library and read up on local finds in your town, county, state/providence and what pre-history flora and fauan use to exsist there, if any.

dino bones are not as rare as one thinks. Vertibrate, Fimurs, Teeth and Ribs are most common found. It is skulls that are the hardest and rareest to find.

Well, actually a fossil is not bone. The bone deteriates creating a type of mold. Then minerals fill the hole up and becomes the fossil.
A fossil feels smoother and lighter than the surrounding stone. It can be difficult to find smaller fossils.

Oh, fossil of the dinosaur is not bone! I thonght it's like a mummy's bone. But the material of the fossil is completely different from mummy's? And they're dug from the stone! It would be so difficult to dig...

No, a dinosaur fossil is a composite of the calcium left behind from the bone and other sediments that fill in the whole wear the bone was. Dino bones are often found inside of stone. Rarely is it found exposed to the air. If it is found exposed, it is due to an earthquake, landslide, flood or wind erosion. Rescently imprints of dinosaur flesh have given us a better idea of what some dinos looked like. But these are only imprints so we still have no idea what colors they were. BUT from the skin imprants we can still if they had stripes or dots on their flesh.
A mummies bone is actual bone. The bone is perserved because of the way it is either treated by those that bury it or by certain conditions in the place where it laid. If there is no oxegin in the air where the body is buried, it helps perserve DNA, bone, skin, fingernails, hair and bone. on some mummies, you can even see tattoos on their skin. Ancient mammoth mummies are found almost perfectly perserved in ice in places like Siberia and the far Arctic.

Fossil of Dinosaur bone is not bone, though the calcium of bones are remained.., But it remains the form of the bones exactly?
In my imagination, Most of Dinosaur images are depicted like a big lizard . Is that because the structure of the bones of dinosaur is alike a lizard? I wonder how they imprints the flesh and skin of dinosaur...
And is there mummies of ancient mammoth in ice! It's like a baby elephant! [link] Maybe there are DNA remained in it? Btw, In the movie "Jurassic park", dinosaurs are replicated from the DNA remained inside the amber. Does such an amber really exist?

Yes they have found blood in the mosquitos of the prehistioric world. However what was dine in jurassic park was fiction. To build something from the blood would require other elements that would have to come from a live lizard or mammal. So what you would end up getting is something that looks nothing like a dinosaur.
Tes, they have already found DNA of mammoths, however it would have to be added to elephant DNA, so you would not end up with a mammoth. You would have to create 2 mammoth hybrids and pray they mate. Their kids would still be hybrids but about the 6ths generation would be real mammoths. Of course that would take roughly 80 years. So we would not be about to see them. The other problem is that hybrid animals can not mate, due to their genetic makeup. Donkeys, Ligers, Tigons; can not produce offspring nor other animals of two seperate species.
At this point dinosaurs are being classified as something between a reptile, bird and mammal. We know they were warm blooded like mammals. While some did look like reptiles, some looked closer to rhinos, birds, elephants and other mammals. But they did indeed lay eggs and some had feathers. So there is still alot that is to be discovered. But right now scientists are classifying dinosaurs as it's own animal species; neither mammal, bird nor reptile. Which is cool, because its something new. Its just too bad they are no longer about. But I think even if they had survived the prehistoric world, mankind would have killed them off, like the mammoth, dodo and wooly rhino

It's hard to make a clone animals from its blood. Then it's hard to make a clone of dinosaur... Even if there are mummies with DNA , it's hard to built a clone of it. Then, It's hard to go Jurassic Park while I'm alive...
But I didn't know that you can make a mammoth hybrid, using it's DNA and that of elephant . That's interesting ! Though it's immoral,I can't help think about making a hybrid of a human mixed up with DNA of a puma(only the part of information about the strong muscle ) , who can win the Olympic games in all events.
And hybrid animals can't mate? Liger's gene aren't remained in the next generation ? Oh, it's hard to make a new species. It's different from making a new kind of dog.
Oh, dinosaur has a warm blood? I thought they were reptile. And there are various kind of dinosaur ! This doesn't looks like a dinosaur , but cute!. [link]
As you said, they would be hard to survive against human, even if they survived the ice age ... Maybe The big one would be hunted as a food?

It seems that when humans intervene with DNA and hybrids, something is lost that effects the reproduction system. It is like Ian said in Jurassic Park "People were so busy wondering how they can do it, they never stopped to think if they should do it."
You really might be interested in short book series called Dinotopia.
Fantasy tales of people living with Dinosaurs is cool but I doubt in real life it is workable.

HEHEH> You are an artist, you are more than welcome to fantasize all you want. I am just as guilty of doing it myself. There us no suck thing as "meaningless fantasies." When we stop fantaszing, we loose our humanity. So keep it up.
