Welsh Wizard Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Thanks everyone Here's a more recent reconstruction done by Jim Brown of Portsmouth University with the copyright owned by Jim I really like this reconstruction as the dinosaur is on a beach (where it was found) and it resembles a large peacock (which strangely enough, we had a peacock in our back garden last year for about 2 months). All the best Nick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I keep peacocks and chickens, and am often struck by how they resemble little dinosaurs (not quite so little in the case of the peacocks). I asked, pretty much in jest, if a copy of the model had been made for you. However I really hope you were gifted with a print of that painting, considering your generosity in prepping and donating the fossil in the first place.
