Charleston residents discuss a hidden issue as some historic homes feature synthetic fiberglass or aluminum columns. The Charleston Board of Architectural Review often denies requests to replace wood with such materials, urging renovations to match original fabric. Owners face higher costs and may alter façades to preserve historic character.

Two new Triassic reptile species found near Durham
North Carolina students and UNC researchers uncovered two new Triassic reptiles in a Durham quarry. The first, a rauisuchian 11 feet long, is the eastern US’s first definite specimen, with unique interlocking fingers. The second, a sphenosuchian four to five feet long, shows a crocodile cousin lineage. Gut contents reveal a diverse Triassic prey cache.
