John Conway's Leaellynasaura art is one of my favorites. Honestly, it's worth checking out the whole book it's from, All Yesterdays, which isn't necessarily full of completely out-there interpretations of dinosaurs, but refreshing ones.
If you're interested in this, I also highly recommend Jurassic World Alive on mobile. It's location based and pretty cool.

> It appears that their Prosauropods discussion is based on a study from last year, "A new hypothesis of dinosaur relationships and early dinosaur evolution":
That still means they dead misunderstood. That study's results moved prosauropods even further away from theropods.
> And Prosauropods were semi-quadrupedal, so it's not one way or the other.
Nope, only the more advanced ones, within Anchisauria. Basal ones like the ones he talked about? Purely bipedal, the older models are out of date. Wikipedia's section on Plateosaurus' posture talks about it with reliable several sources, and the trustworthy Scott Hartman talks about why Riojasaurus was probably similar here. The sources for Plateosaurus, of course, also have an effect on it.
> And I didn't hear them call the jaws unique, they said it was a "90 million year trend in that direction" for dinosaurs in that group in general.
Yeah, for Tyrannosauroidea in general... when jaw-focused hunting was a trait shared with nearly every other large, predatory group in Neotheropoda.
> Is "Reanalysis of “Raptorex kriegsteini”: a juvenile tyrannosaurid dinosaur from Mongolia" the original paper? Because that's the source they used.
Nope, it was a response paper that treated it as a dubious juvenile tyrannosaurid form the Late Cretaceous, possibly a Tarbosaurus. It goes against every claim they made about it.
Yeah, this seems exclusive to Liaoningosaurus. Note that, however, Pinacosaurus had a rather powerful tongue and may have partially subsisted on insects.
My wife wrote a book "What happened to Brontosaurus?" that's on Amazon. The drawings aren't very accurate since they're cute and cartoony. But the story goes through the science behind the discovery and naming controversy (including how the name may have been restored).
Not here to sell 'em BUT TECHNICALLY, IF you wanted to pick some up for yourself, you could probably find some here on kickstarter
There's a cool book of paleo art full of possible dinosaurs with fat and feathers. It's really cool.
All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals https://www.amazon.com/dp/1291177124/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NdXLCbX3JS8NY
IIRC it also has a few pictures like this with alternate takes on real animals.
Have you checked out "The Grand Tour: Everything Worth Knowing About Dinosaurs from Aardonyx to Zuniceratops" but it's a pretty good collection of cool dinosaurs. Grand Tour on Amazon
Oh man, the Megalosaurus time period. Iguanadon got it baaaaaad too.
Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up To Date Encyclopedia by Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr
In regards to the rearing posture, contrary opinions originate from biomechanical work from Heinrich Mallison, which indicates that even rearing up while standing would have been unstable.
I have a question. I learned in the dino 101 class that dinosaurs had rib-like bones on the belly side called "gastralia". But I almost never see them in mounts. Why? If they're rarely preserved (?) that doesn't prevent museums from making some fake ones. Is it just that nobody cares? I'm confused.
I think most experts agree that spinosaurus was aquatic but the others just aren't. Like you said the air holes would make it hard for them to submerge and a presentation I just watched pointed out that they would tend to tip because of their buoyancy. And like you said, they are found with terrestrial flora and fauna.
Ford ignores the environmental evidence and wants even the T-rex to be submerged, claiming that he's too heavy to support his own body weight. He's quite sure that he's right and very vocal about it. He's even written a book called Too Big to Walk that you can buy on Amazon.
The thing that got to me during this talk of his was how rude he is and how much he reminds me of what I've seen lately with the flat earth believers.
Can we crossbreed him with Jake Page’s Butlersaurus?
I love this Allosaurus! I visited AMNH on the weekend to admire him again and I have a close up from a couple of years ago.
Check out some of the work @jontofski has done on Instagram! I think you'll like his watercolor dinosaur skulls. Maybe you could stylize them more to make the bleaching process easier!
Oh man, the nostalgia is hitting me hard.
This is one of the first games I remember playing on a PC.
EDIT: Select DinoPark.exe from the "Game Executable" dropdown before hitting start.
I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in general if the book has a cover with a Jurassic Park-ish Tyrannosaurus roaring, then it's probably a lesser quality book. A more refined landscape, or having more species than T.rex is a good hint.
In the spanish speaking world, Larousse is one of the most respected educational publishers, so anything by them is a great entry level palaeo-book. In the anglophone world, I think National Geographic publishes those books instead, like this one (though it's a bit outdated by modern standards). I also had this one from my youthful days, and it has the same obsolescence problem, but that book was my introduction to geology. Those stratigraphic models were mindblowing for 6 years old me.
If you want a book, this is one of the best out there.
It covers a very wide range of subjects. It's is NOT a book that lists all the dinosaurs, but talks about them as a group. Like for example, the theropod chapter will talk about meat eating dinosaurs in general and won't be listing facts of each dinosaur 1 by 1.
This book is HUGE, like 1000+ pages and it's a little old, but it's still very good. It is missing talks on a couple of awesome new discoveries like the recent Spinosaurus or Deinocheirus discovery.
I still recommend it simply because I read it.
Robert Bakker's The Dinosaur Heresies is also a good read. It was first published in 1986 and a lot of the ideas advanced by Dr Bakker are now well accepted by paleontologists. The author also drew his own illustrations, which are quite amazing.
The link above goes to a review in the New York Times. On the Amazon page for the book is a list of suggested reading for dinosaur enthusiasts, as well as a lot of enthusiastic reviews for The Dinosaur Heresies.
The story is cool, but the book is a rough, rough read. Far too long, inexplicably structured, rambling, repetitive. It was either self-published or as close to self-published as you can get because it desperately needed a good editor. Or even a mediocre one! https://www.amazon.com/Acrocanthosaurus-Contention-Hillbilly-Outsmarted-Corporation/dp/0615413366

AGE OF MONSTERS - Dinosaur Apocalypse
Today when movies get made with any kind of money behind them, the producers want to cash in on merchandising that can be aimed at kids - which tends to keep dinosaur movies in the family film category.
But here's a book series you might like.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZJ72CDN?ref_=dbs_p_mng_rwt_ser_shvlr&storeType=ebooks
One I don't see talked about much is March of the Dinosaurs. Instead of hopping around from one setpiece and time period to another like WWD or (to a lesser extent) Prehistoric Planet, it focuses on two "main characters" and their journey through the arctic winter. An Edmontosaurus named Scar and an arctic troodontid named Patch survive the winter.
Good company, gonna but from them pretty soon myself.
No I get that—but who made it that it seemingly fits alongside the Mattel JW line—nevermind I’ll find it myself.
It’s from Primal Clash by Lennard
I would recommend Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World. It is focused mainly on species that are very well understood. It also has sections about non-dinosaur animals (like the Tupandactylus on the cover). I feel like it is overall more aimed toward those who don't know much about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. It is also full of wonder paleoart by Bob Nicholls.
Yup, they have it:
But I'm not sure if they also have the Ballad of Big Al.
https://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Sanctuary-Vol-Dinosaurs/dp/168579324X
I guess some industrious company has translated a single volume.
just wait till you find out that they're "velociraptor antirrhopus" and not "velociraptor mongoliensis"
aka deinonychus antirrhopus assigned to the wrong genus due to a fringe theory from this book
Good news! It actually features rather prominently in the first of the two documentaries on this DVD:
I actually thought the animation wasn't that bad.

Granted, I was always a total dino nerd, but deinonychus was always my favorite dino, and this book was my holy Bible as a kid.
Sleigh did actually make a feathered dinosaur before, a Therizinosaurus, which is about as scientifically accurate as a pigeon to represent an archaeopteryx. https://www.amazon.nl/SCHLEICH-14529-Therizinosaurus/dp/B00HL2EN6W (this is the old paint scheme from 5 or so years ago, it has got a new version since)
The future of dinosaurs by David Hone. Who's also the host of the amazing podcast Terrible Lizards (I highly recommend).
It's specifically about the latest and what's next. How we can know what we know, and what we might never know. And it was just released. So if you wanna stay updated then that should be a great fit.
I saw it on Amazon and discovered it's actually for a game that's trying to be as scientifically accurate. Apparently the book is supposed to be so accurate, you can use it as an actual late Cretaceous educational book or supplement to the game. I wanted thoughts on it, as it looks just beautiful for an accurate look at the period.
Here's the book listing, if anyone's interested in seeing what I'm talking about.
I found one that seems even worse. This

Here's a 'dinosaur apocalypse' science fiction/horror series, you might like - Age of Monsters
I personally really like the artwork in The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures. It's from 2014 so it's probably not the most up to date book you could find.
All evidence that hints at pack hunting may also be interpreted as more in line with extant diapsid behavior like foraging in loose groups, fighting over food or even cannibalism.
The Harris's Hawk is the only modern bird hunting in a group, all other existing dinosaurs are either solitary hunters or at most form loose groups but never anything resembling mammal pack hunting.
Sadly, the idea of for example Deinonychus hunting in packs is on very shaky ground and we really should assume that they did not.

It's not hard to find. Amazon currently has the blu-ray/DVD pack for ten bucks.
Or just hit up Disney+ if you have it.
Looks like a model from "Schleich" I like their dinos and a few of them. The spinosaurus in the video should be this one: https://www.amazon.de/Schleich-15009-Spielfigur-Mehrfarbig/dp/B07G9R7RZQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=MZV4ONIF4U2E&keywords=schleich+spinosaurus&qid=1642510440&sprefix=schleich+spin%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-2
When I was a kid I used to be able to name a dinosaur for every letter in the alphabet, but I was using a book from 1988 so some of them may no longer be official; like the Judysaurus.
The Rise and fall of the dinosaur is one of my favorites
https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fall-Dinosaurs-History-World/dp/0062490427
I recently bought The Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs: Theropods
The artwork is really beautiful. Theres also one for sauropods.
Short video of the book here
Keiron Pim's Dinosaurs: The Grand Tour
It is a, little misleading and doesn't have as much illustrations but it's fairly up to date.
Dk Smithsonian' Visual Guide to Prehistoric Animals covers dinos and other extinct animals.
The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Dinosaurs & Prehistoric Creatures could be a good one if you want more than just dinosaurs.
I have to do this. My daughter loves dinosaurs and her.m birthday is coming up in February. I'm thinking of "live" dinosaurs on top and the skeletons inside. Where did you find them?
Edit: found this online.
Now I just need to learn how to bake a cake.
Yutyranus lived in temperate rainforests similar to modern day Olympic Peninsula and we’re not very large theropods.
T. Rex lived in subtropical temperatures, with habitats ranging from swamps, to arid landscapes, to rainforests. Antarctica has almost always been the coldest continent with Australia at one point being the other very cold continent. If you want tundra non-avian dinosaurs that’s where you’re going to have the most luck. Not to mention the world has been much cooler since the K-T event than it was between the Triassic and K-T and more of its landmass has been and is situated near the poles than ever before. There just weren’t that many opportunities for non-avian dinosaurs to live in the kinds of Tundras and polar deserts we have today. Certainly the state of modern Antarctica would have been unprecedented during the reign of the dinosaurs.
Could it be the Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life?
https://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Dinosaurs-Prehistoric-Life-Publishing/dp/0756638364
Btw, a 2000 page single volume book about dinosaurs sounds very unlikely to me.

The Terra one has a good sculpt, and you can get it in a set with 3 other decent dinosaur figures for 25 dollars on Amazon.
The Safari one isn't bad either, and is pretty inexpensive. It's also fairly large.
The paint job on both of these isn't up to par with say, PNSO or Papo, but the sculpts look solid to my (non-expert) eye.
I quite enjoyed this one. https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fall-Dinosaurs-History-World/dp/0062490427/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1630903440&sr=8-48
Goes through time periods and explains the development and change of dinosaurs through the years. Written well and pretty up to date it seemed to me.
How about this one? It's one of the most complete books on dinosaurs out there that's pretty up to date. And it's comprehensive as well, covering a lot of topics.
For anyone interested, Planet Dinosaur (2011) is available on curiositystream through amazon prime video. It's only $0.99 for the first month, practically a free trial, then $2.99/month after that, It has amazing dinoworld, walking with prehistoric beasts, and a few others.
https://www.amazon.com/Dinosaurs-How-they-lived-evolved/dp/0565094769
Note that this is the updated version. There's an older edition with a Carcharodontosaurus on the cover. Not necessarily out of date, but not as up to date as the new one.
I'd definitely recommend Holtz's Encyclopedia.
You’re more than welcome. Good luck and happy painting!
My 4yo adores these. He's also a fan of this encyclopedia and this book about Mary Anning. He has very much enjoyed finding all the nonfiction books at the local library (he thinks that only THAT library has a section on dino books, lol).
I feel like pop culture always lags 30 years behind actual paleontology. Scientists revised their view of dinosaurs from cold-blooded lizards to active animals starting in the 60s but the public didn't get caught up until Jurassic Park came out. Now, pop culture just apes Jurassic Park and ignores all of the science that came out after. I'm just annoyed by how lazy much of pop culture is. It rarely creates original things and just imitates a movie that came out three decades ago.
If you want a neat source of inspiration for authentic dinosaurs, I'd heavily recommend the art book All Yesterdays. As for dinosaur knowledge, I learned a lot by binge-watching Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong on Youtube and then delving further into both other videos on Youtube and reading actual papers and scientific blogs.
Thanks for the reply, I figured the Princeton guide might be a little out of date as it was published in 2016 according to Amazon.
The Grand Tour was published as a second edition in December 2019 (again according to Amazon), is it the second edition or the first edition that you own?
That’s the second edition on Amazon, is that the edition you own and say is outdated?
Thanks again!
No idea is truly original, it's the execution that matters. So if you want to stay with the dino island idea, go for it!
That being said, if you want some inspiration on dinosaur fiction, The Dinosaur Lords is a really interesting take on it. It's a fantasy medieval setting--but with a world of dinosaurs, right down to the prehistoric climate, with added lore bits that hint at people leaving Earth and terraforming a new world with dinosaurs.
There is some dark subject matter in the series, as a warning.
I've seen this often enough to want to know what it's about and I found this description on Amazon:
>If you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character's unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.
https://www.amazon.com/Lost-World/dp/B00ALQSNV6
"Planet Dinosaur" is good ($3 an episode on Amazon). As someone who recently got back into dinos after a ~30 year gap, this was a great way to catch up on recent discoveries like spinosaurus, argentinosaurus, and feathered raptors.
Since people are actually interested...Heres my draft of chapter one. Please read the disclaimer!
Please be kind, Poppy is a personal endeavor and my gf had to encourage me to at least post my art and give context. I’m autistic and am very attached to fantasy velociraptors (love those big chickens/the real version too) since I was a little girl. Poppy is kind of self expression for me as someone who is supposed to be adulting, but relies on my family due to trauma.
I havent written since school lmao so I’m winging jt.
Poppys universe is very, very fictional! Like the land before time but for adults. There is calls to realism as most fantasy has to be ground in some amount of realism, such as poppys dad trying to get rid of her.
Theres many scientifically accurate books out there written by paleontologists, and if thats what youre into go support books like that!! Paleontologists are important! Heres a good example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0500295530/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2EdKFbPP0HQD1
I’m sorry if this all sounds dumb, feel free to be like “oh drawing of jurassic park raptor ok” and scroll on lol
Thank you!
Yeah, it is funky art. It took me decades to find it again (I read it when I was like 6).
PS - it can be found on this...it is a little buried in the app, but it is the whole collection.

It’s a bit childish but I really like Dinosaur Atlas! It has life-size fold outs of some fossils and talks about bird evolution.
It’s a bit stylized but imo it works really well.
(Here’s some of my scans of some of the pages, I loved it a lot)
No, this is from the new Jurassic World toyline. The Suchomimus, Baryonyx, Coelurus, and a bunch of others don’t. I’m not entirely sure this guy has pronated hands though, it might just be the angle of my photo
A suggestion only ... go buy some all graphite pencils (4b - 6b) so you can capture the black tones.
The book is out of print for decades now. You can get used copies in Ebay and Amazon for like $50 dollars, an sometimes as much as $150, depending on the seller.
The good news is that there is a Kindle edition that you can download for just $3 dollars. Danger Dinosaurs Kindle edition
Slightly above grade-school level, but <em>God's Word or Human Reason</em> explicitly sets out to debunk the creationist narrative from both christian and non-christian perspectives, both by laying out the evidence and by emphasizing a scientific way of thinking.
Edit: Formatting

I used to have a book with this on the cover. I can't remember what it was called though.
On a side note, I love how naive they were about feathers back then. It's like they couldn't give up on the idea that dromaesaurs had to be scaly monsters instead of actual animals that had to deal with stuff like freezing to death.
"I know! We'll just give a little mowhawk. Boom feathers! And he still looks terrifying."
Hi! The book is authored by Brian Switek, who is a good science writer. His Written in Stone is quite good, as is his My Beloved Brontosaurus.

It looks even better in real life than it does in the ad. It is worth twice the price.
I would also recommend these books: Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffhttp://www.amazon.com/Dinosaurs-Flaming-Cliffs-Michael-Novacek/dp/0385477740/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436230160&sr=8-1&keywords=Dinosaurs+of+the+Flaming+Cliff Time Traveler: In Search of Dinosaurs and Other Fossils from Montana to Mongoliahttp://www.amazon.com/Time-Traveler-Dinosaurs-Fossils-Mongolia-ebook/dp/B005KJV866/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436230217&sr=1-3 Both are written by one of the paleontologists at AMNH, in New York. I thought that they were good reads.
Dinosaur Summer!
Sci-fi legend Greg Bear's "sequel" to the classic The Lost World.
It's set decades after Professor Challenger returned to the new world with dinosaurs from the plateau. Years later, much like the synopsis of the new Jurassic film, people are growing bored of dinosaurs. The last dinosaur circus is closing down and they've decided to transport their remaining animals back to the Lost World, which due to man's negligence or maybe nature and time itself has begun to change and evolve and die.
Great book, like a Jurassic Park story written in the early 1900s.
http://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Summer-Greg-Bear/dp/1497635977
Edit: also, one of the main characters? Ray Harryhausen, the classic stop motion pioneer, as himself.
I haven't read it, so I can't swear by it or anything, but the early-90s B-movie Carnosaur was based on a novel by the same name.
Apparently it's extremely different from the movie and is half-decent in a pulpy sort of way. Lots of blood and guts. I've been meaning to check it out for years.
