The smallest plant seeds are those belonging to orchids. Three million orchid seeds would weigh about 1 gram (1/28th of an ounce).
Lost and found
Lost and found Palaeontologists have unearthed a new specimen of
a rare dinosaur. ‘Spinosaurus’, a large, long-snouted
predator, was first discovered in Egypt in 1915. However, the
original specimen was destroyed during the bombing of Munich in
1944. Now researchers say that they have discovered the original
fossil site and have found another partially complete Spinosaurus
skeleton. This find should help make it easier for scientists to
interpret several other dinosaur specimens found recently who are
related to the Spinosaurus. 30 OCTOBER 1999, P. 25
