This Mesozoic Month February 28, 2020February 29, 2020 by David Orr

Every month, I round up some of the coolest discoveries, blogging, videos, and other bits of mesozoic-themed fun that recently hit the web. And I always pick an interesting piece of paleoart that crossed my path, no matter when it was created. And that’s how This Mesozoic Month is made. Let’s shut the door on …

Vintage Dinosaur Art February 11, 2020February 11, 2020 by Marc Vincent

Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Dinosaur Quarry and Ernest Untermann

Vintage Dinosaur Art February 6, 2020February 6, 2020 by David Orr

I recently had the opportunity to wade into Project Gutenberg at work, and as one does I took a few minutes to type “paleontology” into the book search and see what popped up. There were a few titles I had never heard of or never seen in full, one of which being The Dinosaur Quarry …

Meet the Dinomakers

Museums Vintage Dinosaur Art February 2, 2020February 9, 2020 by Niels Hazeborg

Teylers Museum of Haarlem, the Netherlands, has been featured on the blog before, when Marc gave the place his warm-hearted recommendation. In this age, when so many museums in this country want to be full-on sensory experiences and as a result start to look more and more like theme parks, because heaven forbid the kids …
