I have never cared very much about country or nationality… but I do know when I find home! And it is precisely in meetings like this that I find the niche I crave for all the time. Well organised and … Continue reading

The Next Bone of Contention…

Swerving across the path of controversy… Sinosauropteryx and Yi Qi.
While we know a lot about Sinosauropteryx, to ‘almost’ even the level of colouration, we don’t know enough about Yi qi, the famous bat-like feathered dinosaur… its remains are not well enough preserved to be certain of many details like the … Continue reading

It is not only the Holtz/Rey “Dinosaurs The Most Complete Up-To-Date Encyclopedia For Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages…” that is currently available at the illustrious Philip Currie Dinosaur Museum… the museum is also host to yet another version of the StoneCo’s Hatching … Continue reading
Flugsaurier and SVPCA 2015… Face to Face with the Snake!

The Time Is Now: Finally Deinocheirus!
Remember this? Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska** , the discoverer of Deinocheirus (the Terrible Claw) in awe of her own discovery…How many times have we stood and stared in awe of this fossil, imagining what the rest of the animal would look? Comparative anatomy deductions … Continue reading
The African Dinosaurs Saga continues…
Or could I call it my continuous searching for staying as close as possible to Nature? Everything started as an imaginative exercise a long time ago for the Holtz/Rey/Random House Encyclopaedia… now I wanted to go a little further. When … Continue reading
Walking With Dinosaurs 3D… the end credits!
A ravaged Nanotyrannus reacts with alacrity to the end credits of Walking With Dinosaurs…Yes we know: Walking With Dinosaurs 3D is all the rage these days. I am not going to dwell in the details, but obviously the animation is … Continue reading
