I find it cool after a decade of doubt that Howard's Plotopterum was indeed part of a distinct family, Olson named a more complete taxon after her (Tonsala hildegardae).

Any idea what I'm seeing that's exposed?

Good to see crisper photos of these remarkably obscure pieces of Dinosaur Renaissance paleoart online!

Him and Dougal Dixon practically authored my childhood library.

Being out of paleo-media circles for more than a year or so has made my appreciation of these things so much less conditional. I'm just excited that we're getting better and more frequent projects than the last decade.

It's occasionally lugged out for events at the NHMLA, but sadly not the same deal for the Czerkas Carnotaurus statue that used to be up until the late Noughties...

That last one's wired even deeper if you've gotten the chance to see it irl...

SAM-PK-K1332 is honest to goodness one of the best dinosaur specimens ever.

Do they at least look like mosasaur verts?

Perhaps it was verts from something else that got accidentally mixed in?

Wait, wasn't this Heyuannia yanshini?

Probably because its relationships are kinda hazy (and most of the material you're seeing is in that photo)

The Great Prehistoric Search is what I favored more growing up, probably because it felt more "modern" compared to the Great Dinosaur Search (despite it plagiarizing a lot from a 15+ year old book)

Haven't really thought of that aspect--- but that does make sense! I think the kind of "activity" books that have the most staying power are those Usborne great search books (if they're even in the market anymore...)

Definitely owned this at some point--- also don't see anything like this in the market anymore, huh?

I swear I've seen these before--- what book is this?

*sigh* I miss Gorilla Munch's old packaging...

Commune Records near Memorial Park is also worth stopping by, lots of rarities and generally good prices.

I wanna say my first CD was The Battle Rages On... by Deep Purple (got it used in Canterbury Records in Pasadena, a bit of a cumbersome album in retrospect)--- and my first LP is definitely Animal Magnetism by Scorpion (at Poo Bah Records, also in Pas--- great store!)

How do we know it's Gorgonops proper?

At first I thought the tall red figure in the back had a tapinocephalid skull!

as @arctomet.bsky.social once said, the Parasaurolophus in the back looks like it's got its hands in its pockets...

Ach! Thanks for letting me know 😅
