Don’t be eating to much of that stuff or you’re go extinct to.

These are a couple of my dinosaur toys I had as a kid in the late 1990's... I recently went back through an old box of childhood belongings to look for them, because while I was doing a fossil display in June I saw a little girl walking around with the exact same purple stegosaurus. It was a blast from the past to say the least! I think there were two other "main" dinosaur toys I played with, but I haven't gotten to them yet.

I went to the post office yesterday 

They also sell magazines there. 
Was so tempted by this

I believe I've discovered a mass mortality event.

Here's the front and back of a calendar I bought in late 1993.  I tend to keep calendars rather than throw them away.  I had so many in the early 2000's that I put some out for sale and actually sold some.

There seems to be a car in the picture so I expect it was responsible.

At least the driver seems to have stopped which is better than hit and run.

These have been on the man cave shelf for years.  The petroglyph behind them is a replica I made  out of black painted sandstone from a photo I took of a panel in Moab.

The danger was signpost so no excuses for dangerous driving I think.

I’m currently putting together a Lego Anomalacaris that I picked up in a “gum ball machine” in the Narita airport.  I’ll post pics when I’m done

Yep! I had the semi last-minute display of mainly assorted echinoids. While I was a little nervous and made several identification mistakes (mainly due to rushing myself), I had a lot of fun with it and made a few new friends, both among the displayers and the visitors. I'm definitely look forward to doing a display again, hopefully with better info and some more variety, perhaps with more of my own personal finds in particular.

My gradually-increasing flock-- Safari Ltd. theropods of all shapes and sizes. They have a nice perch and are spoiled.

The Cassowary may be the most fearsome of those therapods.

I went to my first fossil trade show in early September and picked up a few neat things, and had a good time! While I was leaving the venue I found this poor little Dilophosaurus abandoned in a dirt parking lot, and it looked like it had been there for a good while. I took pity on it, and have given it a bath and some shelter, in exchange for giving it the task of watching over my mid-prep Hardouinia mortonis on my desk.

Man, that's so cool! The Mantellisaurus thumb spike and an Eotyrannus claw! I don't think I've ever even seen the latter - nor the former on the open market! Stunning pieces!

That's an excellent model! Who's it by?

Hold up! You've got an actually Therizonosaurus claw? That's so cool! How big is that thing?

 

Some awesome collection pieces there that I don't think I've seen before, Ken!

1) Unfortunately I wished those claws were real, they are replica's  
The Iguanodon claw is a cast from one that's on display in the NHM London

 

2) I have no idea who produced the Psittacosaurus model as the company that produced them no longer exists.

 

3) The Therizinosaurus claw is again a replica, but yes the thing is massive. Just imagine its size with the keratine sheath that is would have when the animal was still alive.
