The genus Jaekelopterus contains two species from the Early Devonian; fossils of J. rhenaniae were originally discovered in the Rhineland of Western Germany while those of J. howellii were originally discovered in Wyoming, USA. Jaekelopterus rhenaniae is not only the largest eurypterid, it is the largest known arthropod…EVER!

Concavenator is a genus of carcharodontosaurian that hails from Spain and was described in 2010, the same year I started collecting dinosaurs! Although only known from a single specimen it’s a nearly complete and articulated one. Concavenator is immediately recognizable thanks to two tall vertebrae in front of the hips that are thought to have supported a hump.

More than twenty years ago, I saw a wonderful reconstruction of Proganochelys at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Ever since then, I have searched for a realistic model of that species for my collection.

Four new Jurassic World Wild Roar toys are presently showing up in Central America, so it shouldn’t be long before they appear elsewhere as well.

Baryonyx has been done many times now, but it’s clearly a popular predator.

Maiasaura, however, is a welcome first for Mattel.

Discovered in 1975 and named in 1980 after Salta Province in Argentina, it was a relatively small titanosaurian sauropod at just 10-12 metres in length.

Imagine yourself for a moment in a swamp. Not just any particular swamp. There’s mangrove trees with many vines hanging off their branches, tall reeds and cattails, and a strange assortment of prehistoric fauna. There’s a herd of ginormous Paraceratherium feeding on the trees, Phiomia fleeing from ravenous Titanoboa, Baryonyx fishing, and Beelzebufo hopping around.
