Where did they get this article, 1993?

also the delicious irony in that t.rex is one of few dinosaurs that it seems did not have feathers, though in turn it seems it had naked skin rather than scales..

No matter the suffix, "Geodad" sounds like the kind of dad to appreciate.

I'm a geologist and when my son was little, he called the geodes that I brought home geodads.

See? You sound like an awesome dad, as predicted.

I was homeschooled. Once my mom brought me to visit a couple of geologists at their home. They had a collection of stones at their house and opened a few of them for me; at least 2-3 of them were geodes, rather than simply stone through, as they expected. Apparently this was unusual, so the trip stuck with me. I bet your son learned at least as much about rocks (and, to be fair, other stuff) through you!

I do what I can to encourage him to be curious about the world.

Like I said.

Awesome dad.
