Rare and Obscure Magazine Articles

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

I looked around a bit and it didn't look like there was any general discussion thread on this particular topic, so I thought I'd start one. (We can delete this if I missed an older thread.) This thread is for the discussion of any rare, obscure, or otherwise hard-to-find magazine articles on paleontological subjects.

I'll get the ball rolling with my impetus for starting this thread. Has anybody ever heard of a magazine article by George Olshevsky and illustrated by Tracy Ford regarding stegosaur evolution? Apparently the highlight of the article was an illustrated series of hypothetical "transitional forms" between known species. I can't find a single image of it online, and barely even any mention of it. It was apparently a Japanese publication, which would explain its obscurity, at least for us Anglophones. I'd love to see some scans of the relevant images if by chance somebody here has a copy!

Olshevsky, G. & Ford, T. L., 1993. "The Origin and Evolution of the
Stegosaurs," Kyoryugaku Saizensen [Dino-Frontline] 4: 64â103 [illustrations
by T. L. Ford; in Japanese]

Not sure how relevant this is to the discussion, but the most obscure thing I own is a little Japanese magazine/pamphlet with some very nice retro artwork. I look for Japanese dinosaur books on Yahoo Japan regularly, it's a mini hobby of mine.



I can share more photos if people are curious.

It's a very nice piece of retro artwork, the Stegosaurs doesn't even seem to be reacting to its attacker!

Feel free! This thread is meant to be a general discussion of the topic. I only asked for something specific to help get the ball rolling. I'd love to see more images of your magazine(s) though!

I once wrote an article for an advertising paper, when Jurassic Park hype was at its top:

No update for JW?

Very interesting! Did you choose the illustrations, or did somebody else? The Velociraptor on the right certainly looks Paulian, but I'm not sure where the others come from.
