Jack Horner on Sixty Minutes

Here is something of real particular interest.

Horner, Schweitzer scheduled to appear Nov. 15 on 60 Minutes


BOZEMAN -- A "Sixty Minutes" segment featuring Montana State University paleontologist Jack Horner and former MSU graduate student Mary Higby Schweitzer is scheduled to air Sunday evening, Nov. 15.

Meghan Frank, a producer for the CBS TV magazine, said the date is "pretty definite," although major late-breaking news could postpone the air date.

The piece will focus on Horner, his discoveries and his unorthodox approach to thinking about dinosaurs, Frank said. The segment will also feature Schweitzer, her work with Horner and her discoveries from an Eastern Montana dinosaur originally nicknamed "B. rex." The 68-million year-old dinosaur yielded protein, soft tissue, blood vessels and tissue typical of a female bird.
