Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Mesozoic Miscellany 65
https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2014/10/mesozoic-miscellany-65.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. After a really super-long break. We're back with the 65th post in the Mesozoic Miscellany series. I really haven't meant to do these posts so sporadically, but I had some freelance jobs come up that took up a lot of time over the last few months. Sorry about that! I hope to get back on a more regular schedule with them. At Life Traces of the Georgia Coast, Tony Martin wrote a touching post. A new site dedicated to Mesozoic paleontology has launched, called Dinologue. The new book...

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Superbook of Dinosaurs
https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/05/vintage-dinosaur-art-superbook-of.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Superbook of Dinosaurs. Above Hopelessly outdated as it now is, his work still has a palpable solidity and 'reality' about it, and certainly left a great impression on many childhood dinosaur enthusiasts. Plus, I can't help but feel that more people should try giving Tyrannosaurus. Glassy black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. Particularly in terms of how the palaeoenvironment in the latter is far more richly realised. Onwards to the Triassic, and back to Bernard...

Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Which Mammoth is Mopey Character are You? We're now two weeks from the end of the Mammoth is Mopey. I've posted about here a few times and tweeted about prolifically. In the interest of keeping promotion fresh, we've hopped on the quiz bandwagon. They're scientifically proven to be the number one way to come to self-knowledge in the hustle and bustle of this digital world. No hallucinogens, fasting, or pilgrimage required!

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: March 2015
https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. Help a Mammoth, Win a Shirt! Just about every crowdfunding campaign I've seen has included some form of this refrain: Even if you can't afford to donate, helping spread the word is a great form of support. It's true. You may have seen my post last week about my funding campaign to publish the children's book Mammoth is Mopey. To sweeten the deal beyond words of appreciation, we've decided to hold a contest. If you post about Mammoth is Mopey. Thanks again to the on-line palaeontol...

Friday, May 15, 2015. Two years ago, after the director of Jurassic World. Confirmed that the movie would not feature feathered Velociraptors.

While pitched at a popular audience, Prehistoric Predators. Newly published by Cider Mill Press. And written by Brian Switek. And The Paleoart of Julius Csotonyi. Are decked out with feathers and fil...

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals
https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/08/vintage-dinosaur-art-dinosaurs-and.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Vintage Dinosaur Art: Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals. Given that the last book I reviewed was so very bland and predictable (complete with the obligatory post-Normanpedia Sibbickisms), I was very happy to come upon this wonderful, ageing collection of barely held-together cloth boards on eBay. This international edition of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals. And a couple of temporally displaced Pteranodon. Following an introductory chapter detailing the origins of pa...

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Help Brian Switek Tell the Stories of Fossil Hunters in the Field. At its core, fieldwork still relies on patience, luck, and a strong back to carry enough water to fight off lingering hangovers. Brian Switek, from his "Have Allosaurus, Will Travel" Kickstarter campaign page. Brian Switek prepares to enter Natural Trap Cave. Photo by Eric Scott. And My Beloved Brontosaurus.

Vintage Dinosaur Art: LOOK at Dinosaurs. As Im sure Ive mentioned before (for how many years have I been writing these, again?

Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs: Interview: Lisa Buckley
https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/05/interview-lisa-buckley.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. Fast forward another few decades, when a new, extensive tracksite was discovered by a local resident - a resident who thankfully appreciated the importance of the site to our shared natural heritage. They reported the discovery to the researchers at the Peace Region Palaeontology Research Centre. Who were excited to begin documenting the first major tracksite in the province since Sternberg's sites were lost. The Williston Lake Tracksite. Image from the Indiegogo campaign page. My pe...
