Hello!
I realize I haven't been on the forum very much for the past several months or so, but I'm repeating what I did last year and making a year in review video from the perspective of dinosaur toy collecting and paleontology as a whole. Don't think I've forgotten about this place!
Anyway, the link is here:

See if you can identify all 111 things found in here.

I really like the music!  What is it?

I recognised most of the things in the video!  It felt a bit weird seeing several things that treat prehistoric animals as fantasy monsters among all the great discoveries, 2D art and figures in the video.

I too am eager to read about the new Utahraptor information!

The music is Jupiter from "The Planets" by Gustav Holst.

Anyway, I completely agree with you about the fantasy monster thing, but I feel like it wouldn't make much sense to exclude ARK or Jurassic World in a dinosaur-related recap, like them or not.

There are a few others in addition to those two...  ;)

There wasn't. That was Morelladon beltrani, a newly discovered styracostern ornithopod.

Great to see the winners of the DTF diorama contest get a nod :)
