Dinosaur Cove

[Balaur]

No, not the children's book series. Instead of Beautiful Tyrant, I decided to do a book, filed with short stories focusing on one or two creatures, that only lived in Dinosaur Cove or nearby. I just finished my opening chapter about Nanantius. It is very short, only 4 pages, but the rest of the book is much longer. Here are the chapters.

Chapter 1 - Nanantius eos
Chapter 2 - Weta & Sphenodont
Chapter 3 - Koolasuchus & Isisfordia
Chapter 4 - Mythunga
Chapter 5 - Kollikodon
Chapter 6 - Caenagnathid
Chapter 7 - Skartopus & Wintonopus
Chapter 8 - Leaellynasaura

Can anyone find any info on if sphenodont fossils have been found in Cretaceous Australia? Thanks in advance!

[Yutyrannus]

This sounds awesome !

[Balaur]

Here is the creature list for the first three chapters.

Chapter 1 -
Nanantius eos
Fish

Chapter 2 -
Weta
Sphenodont
Fly

Chapter 3 -
Koolasuchus
Lungfish
Turtle (genus will be decided soon)
Isisfordia
Generic fish


And to be honest, the only violent thing that happens in the book so far is the main sphenodont eating a baby sphenodont. It's very calm otherwise.

I just finished my second chapter, which means that this book is officially a go! Usually I don't even finish two chapters, so there is no turning back now!

BTW the second chapter ends on a depressing note, and the first two pages of Chapter Three is all about the evolution of labyrinthodonts, specifically temnospondyls.

Pictures to acolmpany soon...

[Yutyrannus]

Awesome! Are you going to put the pictures in the book?

[Balaur]

Yes, I am.

[Yutyrannus]

Are you still doing this book?

[Balaur]

Are you still doing this book?

I am busy right now, but I'll continue to write it if I get the chance or feel like it today. If I push myself, I will rush and I won't write good stories. Yeah, I'm still doing this book.

[Yutyrannus]

Yeah, I don't rush my Merlin book for the same reason. I am glad you didn't decide not to finish this book !

[Balaur]

I know its been a while, but so many things have been happening I haven't got a chance to work on more of the book. However, I am trying to finish up chapter 2.
