Everything Dinosaur team members like to reminisce about dinosaur books from their childhood. For example, the other day a team member came across the Brooke Bond Polacanthus card. This dinosaur illustration was part of a series of fifty given away by Brooke Bond in their packets of tea (PG Tips). The card came from a collection introduced in 1972 under the title “Prehistoric Animals”. A book could be purchased that enabled the collector to stick each card into place. The aim was to complete the set before the promotional campaign changed.

Recently, Everything Dinosaur team members blogged about a dinosaur book from their childhood. The book was part of the Ladybird publication series. It featured an illustration of a theropod dinosaur on the front cover. We recall the Antrodemus dinosaur illustration.

A customer requested that Everything Dinosaur take some photographs of the Nanmu Studio Parasaurolophus models. We were happy to oblige and emailed several images of the two figures (brown and green). The customer had purchased Nanmu Studio dinosaur models before. However, we were emailed a request from them requesting we produce some images showing the dinosaurs on their display bases.

A scientific paper has just been published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE that describes a new species of giant ichthyosaur. This huge marine reptile, named Ichthyotitan severnensis could have been about as big as a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus). The discovery of the fragmentary remains of a second gigantic jawbone in Somerset supports the hypothesis that giant ichthyosaurs were present in the Late Triassic ecosystem.

Sorting out cupboards can be tiresome. However, sometimes exciting discoveries can be made. In a large box on one of the shelves some books and dinosaur models were discovered. Examining the models and the dinosaur books from childhood brought back lots of happy memories. One of the books found was the Ladybird book of dinosaurs. It must have been published more than forty-five years ago.
