Dinosaurs

10th September 2008

Here are my palaeontology publications.

I sporadically maintain the DINOSAUR mailing-list FAQ - a sort of getting-to-know-dinosaurs HOWTO, which should tell the casual dinosaur fan everything that he or she needs to know to understand serious paelontological material - research papers and suchlike.

I also offer:

• Highly subjective reviews of many of the dinosaur books that I've read.

• An image gallery showing why it's always a bad idea to let T. rex loose on a farm.

• A downloadable copy (in HTML, MS-Word and PostScript) of Jyrki Hokkanen's widely cited 1985 paper The Size of the Largest Land Animal.

• A photo gallery, with a small amount of commentary, of The Copenhagen Mamenchisaurus.

• A gallery of scanned dinosaur pictures that my dad drew for me in the mid-seventies.

• Photographs of cervical vertebra 7 of a domestic turkey.

• Some out of copyright papers about palaeontology and zoology, including many of the classic sauropod monographs.

I also contribute to Ask a Biologist, a web-site where biologists and palaeontologists answer kids' questions about their subjects, and to Sauropod Vertebrae Picture of the Week.
