exquisite tea posted:It's fair to say that Dinotopia was probably the single most influential fictional work I read as a little kid, everything about my young imagination and aesthetics stemmed from that series. I would look at the illustrations for hours and imagine myself as if I were really there. Same, same, same. Plus, Dinotopia is a gateway drug to Art Noveau.

I've recently been dipping my toe increasingly into dino and paleo stuff, following some paleoart accounts on twitter for example. There's just something magical feeling about how the world used to be before we were around to see anything about it. I was more into this stuff as a kid than i've been so I'm behind on stuff that isn't hominids (because we covered hominids in my anthropology studies back before i graduated), but this wouldn't be the first relapse into an older fixation I've had over the past couple years. and i've enjoyed having my yugioh and pokemon phase back so why not? So thank you OP and others, any channel i wasn't already subbed to i now am and i've added a bunch to watch later.

i think any real dinohead will enjoy steve bissete's tyrant, he only ever completed 4 issues of something like a planned 100 issue run that was supposed to like follow the life of a trex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrant_(Spiderbaby_Grafix) it is meticulously researched, the art is sublime and the notes at the end are really interesting reading. being from the mid early 90s some of it feels a bit dated but still worth a read. i don't think that it's ever been collected so your options for reading it are  or finding old issues online or at your local comic book store. i own a couple of issues and haven't paid more than $10 cad for one.

Has anyone been watching Prehistoric Planet? I'm only one episode in, but it's fantastic. I wish the narration gave more of a peek into the science with "...as shown by a bed of fossils found in Montana..." or whatnot, but otherwise it's exactly what I've wanted out of a dinosaur documentary for years.

They discovered a new prehistoric whale. It was shorter than a blue whale: But was so incredibly fat and dense that they think it weighed at least as much as the largest blue whales, if not more. At a time when most whales looked like this...  It look liked this.   https://phys.org/news/2023-08-heaviest-animal-scientists-massive-ancient.html I feel a connection to this whale.

I like how the archaeologists believe it became so fat that so that it could move less.

Developing denser bones to counteract the sheer amount of your own blubber so you can float around and be even lazier, that's some pro tier evolving right there.

Well actually, in Dune it's mentioned that the Harkonnen fortune comes from "adroit manipulation of the whale fur market." So not quite a Harkonnen whale.

 My favourite dinosaur is Dorothy. She eats flowers, is very friendly and has a song written about her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpvDYnwkOPE Can any of your fancy Spinosauruses say that?

There's a "speculative evolution" fictional creature dubbed Spinofaarus vulgaris which is supposedly what the spinosaurus might have ended up looking like if it continued evolving for aquatic life and basically ended up looking like an elephant seal and it's freaking hilarious

That is class-A illustrating. The caption notes "if man could have been there", the dude is freaking out, and there's a convenient bush right in front of his butt-crack so it's not lewd
