New Papo Archaeopteryx Model – A Review

By Mike|2024-05-02T09:51:30+01:00April 3rd, 2014|Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

A Review of the 2014 Papo Archaeopteryx Model

The first of the new for 2014 prehistoric animal replicas to be released by Papo is this excellent model of the Late Jurassic “dino bird” known as Archaeopteryx. Although no longer regarded as the “earliest bird” from the fossil record, as recent discoveries from north-eastern China have challenged Archaeopteryx’s taxonomic position in the Aves Order, the dozen or so fossils of this Late Jurassic creature remain some of the most studied vertebrate fossils to have ever been found.

Papo Archaeopteryx Model

Named and described back in 1861, just two years after Charles Darwin had published the first edition of the “Origin of Species”. Archaeopteryx is described as a transitional fossil between the reptiles and birds. The fossil evidence reveals that Archaeopteryx had characteristics associated with a bird but it also retained a number of reptilian features.

Designed by Papo

The design team at Papo have been keen to reflect a lot of what is known about Archaeopteryx in their hand-painted replica and to also mirror some of the very latest research into this creature whose fossils have been found in southern Germany (Solnhofen). For example, the figure is posed with its jaws wide open, permitting the teeth, so reminiscent of a small theropod dinosaur to be prominently displayed. The three-fingered claws on each wing are clearly visible and the claws themselves are strongly curved just like in the fossil material.

Looking at the Head

As for mirroring some of the very latest research, a close up of the dinosaur-like head reveals that the eyes are quite large, again reflecting the fossil data, but also the pupils are rounded. Recent studies of the sclerotic rings, the ring of bones found in the eye socket of Archaeopteryx, indicate that this animal was very probably diurnal, that is, it was active during the day and it very probably had excellent colour vision. Hence the bright, quirky plume of red coloured quills that project from the back of the skull – great for species recognition when you possess colour vision in what was largely still a green and brown world.

Papo Archaeopteryx Figure

The Papo Archaeopteryx model measures approximately twelve and a half centimetres in length, from the tip of the jaws to the end of its fan of tail feathers. The head itself, is around seven centimetres off the ground. We estimate that this replica is in approximately 1 to 5 scale, based on fossil measurements that indicate that this creature was around the size of a modern day Magpie.

The paintwork is excellent, and a wide variety of colours have been used. This marks a change for Papo as the rest of their prehistoric animal model range tends to be painted in one or two dominant colours. Here we have bronze coloured feathers, contrasting with feathers painted white and light grey, even feathers showing a flash of azure blue with the top of the scaly neck painted an almost navy blue colour.

Plenty of Detail

The detailing is superb with individual scales and feathers picked out on the model. Perhaps, the quality of this model is best demonstrated by examining the underside of the tail, an area often neglected by other model making companies. Here even the individual structure of feathers can be made out.

Unlike the majority of Papo’s carnivorous dinosaurs the jaws do not move, the reason for this is simple, when working with Papo we were told that the jaws proved too small to articulate, however, the fine detail of the mouth and the skull more than makes up for this.

An Excellent Papo Archaeopteryx Prehistoric Animal Model

All in all, this is an excellent model of an Archaeopteryx and one that is a welcome addition to the Papo model range, it does have a great deal to commend it.

Explaining Dinosaur Extinction Using Beautiful Schematic Story Maps

By Mike|2024-05-02T10:09:50+01:00April 2nd, 2014|Key Stage 1/2|Comments Off on Explaining Dinosaur Extinction Using Beautiful Schematic Story Maps

Schematic Story Maps Help Visual Learners

Children at Wroxton Primary School demonstrated their knowledge to our dinosaur experts during a dinosaur workshop with Year 1. Under their teacher’s supervision the children had been producing simple stories that map out some of the theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The children were able to demonstrate their learning and there was plenty of evidence of this posted up on the classroom walls and on their display table.

Dinosaur Workshop

The teaching team members at Everything Dinosaur tend to favour the K-W-L technique for charting the course of a term topic (what you know, what you would like to know and what you have learned). This three-stage approach is very popular, but the schematic maps that the children had created were certainly powerful learning tools.

Schematic Story Map

The maps were greatly appreciated by the children, they enjoyed helping to make them and it clearly assisted them when it came to recalling activities. This was a tremendous asset for visual learners. At Everything Dinosaur, we recommend using the K-W-L methodology to help plan, record and measure the achievement of learning objectives. However, there are a number of different techniques available to teaching professionals and this mapping method certainly proved to be effective for these Key Stage 1 pupils.

Beautiful Schematic Story Maps Help Children Remember Facts

Dinosaur Extinction Explained using Schematic Story Maps

When it comes to helping Year 1 recount what they have learned during their term topic on dinosaurs, the class teaching team at Wroxton Primary School utilise a simple technique that helps “map out” facts into a straight forward story for the children.

Dinosaur Extinction

Being able to demonstrate evidence of learning at the end of a term topic is extremely important. It is essential that the teaching team with the support of their learning support providers and teaching assistants can monitor the progress made by pupils. At Everything Dinosaur, we recommend using the KWL technique to help plan and record the achievement of various learning objectives, however, there are a number of different techniques and methodologies available to teachers.

The KWL Technique

The KWL technique involves working with the class at the start of the topic to establish what the children know, what they would like to learn and this provides the foundation for the scheme of work and permits that all important recall and checking of learning once the topic has been concluded.

A Typical KWL Chart Prepared for a Dinosaur Teaching Topic

Essentially, KWL permits the following:

K= Know (test what the children known, brainstorming/discussion activities) log results.

W = What (during the first stage questions will be raised, ideas to be tested proposed, these can form the basis of the teaching work).

L = Learn (the recounting stage or the recall stage, review at the end of the term topic what the children have learned (check learning, summarise learning).

School Visit

During a school visit to a primary school in Oxfordshire, one of Everything Dinosaur’s dinosaur experts came across some excellent examples of story maps being used to help create visual cues to stimulate learning and recall for use in creative writing activities. Our expert saw several examples of such “story boarding” maps, one covering the extinction of the dinosaurs, another telling the story of Mary Anning (1799-1847).

A level of knowledge regarding possible causes of the extinction of the dinosaurs was clearly demonstrated by the Year 1 pupils who were eager to explain all about an object from outer space crashing into the Earth and what happened to the dinosaurs as a result. This was a most impressive demonstration of learning using a technique which would appeal to those children who prefer a visual learning style.

Digitally Reconstructing a Famous Dinosaur Trackway

By Mike|2023-03-11T17:48:06+00:00April 1st, 2014|Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Palaeontological articles|0 Comments

Dinosaur Tracks Lost to Science for Decades Recreated Using Digital Technology

A set of dinosaur tracks, one from a large sauropod dinosaur, the second set from a meat-eating dinosaur, have been digitally recreated permitting scientists to study the complete tracks for the first time in more than seventy years. The footprints, which cover a distance of approximately forty-five metres, are part of a number of dinosaur trackways preserved in near marine sediments that were laid down between 113 and 110 million years ago (Cretaceous geological period). The theropod dinosaur’s three-toed prints overlie the larger sauropod prints and this indicates that the large herbivorous dinosaur passed first, perhaps the carnivore was stalking the sauropod.

“Dinosaur Chase Tracks”

The tracks, now forming part of the bed of the Paluxy River in Texas are often referred to as the “dinosaur chase tracks”, although scientists cannot be certain whether or not the theropod was stalking its prey.

The Famous Dinosaur “Chase” Tracks (Paluxy River, Texas)

Famous dinosaur tracks – theropod and sauropod tracks.

The picture above shows a potential interpretation of the Paluxy River tracks, with the huge, plant-eating dinosaur being stalked by the bipedal, theropod dinosaur. It is difficult to assign a genus to these dinosaur footprints, but it has been speculated that the theropod may have been a member of the Acrocanthosaurus genus, as fossils of this large predator have been found in similar aged rocks and a dinosaur bone from the Glen Rose Formation, has been assigned to Acrocanthosaurus.

Famous Dinosaur Trackway

Using a technique called photogrammetry, scanning and combining photographs taken during research at the location back in the 1940s, the scientists were able to build a digital model of the site. The computer model created is the only complete record available to study as some of the physical tracks themselves have been lost.

The Paluxy River dinosaur tracksite is among the most famous in the world. In 1940, Dr Roland T. Bird, a American palaeontologist from the American Museum of Natural History (New York), described and excavated a portion of the site containing associated theropod and sauropod trackways, the so-called “dinosaur chase tracks”. As the river flow was in danger of completely eroding away the dinosaur footprints, it was decided to remove the tracks in a serious of carefully excavated blocks.

The trackway was thus broken up into a number of sections. Split up as it was, the fossil specimens were housed in different museum collections and over the years the slabs have deteriorated and a portion of the track has been lost.

International Research Team

The research team, which included scientists from Liverpool University, the Royal Veterinary College (London) and Indiana-Purdue University, Indiana, applied state-of-the-art photogrammetric techniques to seventeen black and white photographs of the tracks that had been taken by Dr Bird during the 1940 trace fossil study. By producing highly detailed scans of the original photographs and their corresponding negatives the researchers were able to digitally reconstruct the site prior to its fateful excavation.

Furthermore, the three-dimensional study was able to corroborate sketches drawn by Dr Bird when the trackway was first scientifically described.

This new mapping technique demonstrates the exciting potential for digitally recreating palaeontological, geological, or archaeological specimens that have been lost to science, but for which photographic documentation still exists.

Dinosaur Footprints

Using dinosaur footprints made back in the Aptian/Albian faunal stage of the Cretaceous, this work has dramatically illustrated the potential for the technique of historical photogrammetry, permitting the creation of highly detailed and precise 3-D maps of sites that may have been physically lost and just preserved in photographs. In this instance, the last time the set of dinosaur tracks was complete was back in 1940 prior to the removal of the footprint blocks.

Commenting on the significance of this study, lead researcher Dr Peter Falkingham (Royal Veterinary College) stated:

“Here we’re showing that you can do this to lost or damaged specimens or even entire sites if you have photographs taken at the time. That means we can reconstruct digitally, and 3-D print, objects that no longer exist.”

The World’s Most Northerly Dinosaurs Identified in New Study

By Mike|2024-05-02T09:59:27+01:00March 31st, 2014|Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Geology|0 Comments

Duck-Billed Dinosaur Bone from Axel Heiberg Island

Much has been discovered about the northern ranges of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs over the last two decades or so. Palaeontologists now recognise that during the last few million years of the Cretaceous geological period a number of different dinosaur genera adapted to living at high latitudes, year round residents of territory which today is well within the Arctic Circle. There have been a number of important fossils finds at locations such as those from the Prince Creek Formation (North Slope Borough, Alaska), only recently a new genus of pygmy tyrannosaur was scientifically described – Nanuqsaurus hoglundi.

Northerly Dinosaurs

To read more about this new tyrannosaur: The “Polar Bear” Tyrannosaur.

Although the climate was much milder, the weather at these very high latitudes would have been seasonally extreme. There would have been long periods of total darkness with the sun never ascending over the horizon with snow falls and temperatures close to or below freezing for prolonged periods. In the summer, the high latitude would have have guaranteed twenty-fours of daylight for a number of weeks and the overall climate, based on studies of plant fossils and pollen suggests an environment similar to the state of Oregon in the United States or perhaps British Columbia (Canada).

Prince Creek Formation

The fossils found in the Prince Creek Formation are certainly important, but they do not represent the most northern dinosaur discovery to date. That honours goes to a single, fossil bone found during a geological survey of the remote Axel Heiberg Island in 1992. Axel Heiberg Island is seventy-nine degrees north and is one of the larger islands of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is uninhabited, although some research teams set up seasonal summer camps.

The highly abraided dinosaur bone was determined as being a hadrosaurine veretebra (back bone), although the genus remains uncertain. It was found in the Kanguk Formation which consists of marine strata laid down during the Late Cretaceous. A number of other vertebrate fossils have also been found but to date only one dinosaur bone. It is likely that this fossil was deposited during the Campanian faunal stage of the Late Cretaceous (around 83 – 74 million years ago).

The Canadian Arctic During the Campanian

During the Campanian, the eastern Canadian Arctic was likely isolated both from western North America by the Western Interior Seaway and from more southern regions of eastern North America by the Hudson Seaway. This fossil suggests that large-bodied hadrosaurid dinosaurs may have inhabited a substantial polar insular landmass during the Late Cretaceous, where they would have lived year-round. Being effectively marooned on the land mass, these dinosaurs were unable to migrate southwards to escape the worst of the winter weather.

It is possible that the resident herbivorous dinosaurs could have fed on non-deciduous conifers, as well as other woody twigs and stems, during the long, dark winter months when most deciduous plant species had lost their leaves and others would have died back due to the lack of sunlight.

It is likely that other dinosaur fossil discoveries await on the islands that make up the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, however, the difficulty in reaching them, the extreme climate and the lack of a road network or suitable airstrip means that much more research has been carried out in Alaska than on the islands of the high Arctic. Palaeontologists are confident that further research will establish a rich and diverse Late Cretaceous ecosystem that was dominated by dinosaurs.

A Morning Studying Amazing Dinosaurs

By Mike|2024-05-02T09:58:21+01:00March 30th, 2014|Educational Activities, Teaching|0 Comments

Christ Church Primary School Pupils Study Dinosaurs

Year 1 pupils at Christ Church Primary School (Stoke on Trent, England), got the chance to get up very close to some dinosaur fossils as they studied prehistoric animals as part of their term topic. Under the tutelage of one of the school’s Key Stage 1 tutors Miss Bryant, ably assisted by teaching assistant Mrs Dyer, the children have been learning about life in the past and how fossils are formed as they study dinosaurs over the spring term.

Schoolchildren Study Dinosaurs

A team member from Everything Dinosaur had been invited into the school to assist with the teaching work and to undertake a whole morning of dinosaur themed activities and exercises as part of a dinosaur workshop. The classroom was very colourful with lots of dinosaur artwork and posters on display and the children were very keen to complete morning registration so that the dinosaur themed teaching activities could start.

Casting Fossils

The children were challenged to have a go at casting museum quality replica fossils from Everything Dinosaur’s own fossil collection and with one group of children led by Mrs Dyer and the second group supervised by Miss Bryant, two lovely replica fossils were cast. The size and scale of some dinosaurs was considered and the children were encouraged to compare bones in their body to those of famous dinosaurs. The brain of an armoured dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous being confirmed as being about the size of a six-year old child’s fist, whilst the same dinosaur could happily sit five Year 1 pupils in its body cavity.

There were lots of questions asked and the pupils showed a good degree of independent learning as the Everything Dinosaur team member discussed meat-eating dinosaurs and compared them to plant-eating dinosaurs. Over the course of the morning, a lot of different types of fossil were examined and at the end of the visit an Everything Dinosaur “pinkie palaeontologists challenge” was set before the class. Could the children demonstrate the ability to recall information and write a thank you letter to our dinosaur expert?

Dinosaurs as a Teaching Topic

Dinosaurs as a teaching topic lends itself to all sorts of innovative learning activities that dove-tail into the outcomes and aims expected from the National Curriculum. Creating a thank you letter permits the teaching team to introduce a recounting element into the teaching work. This helps to check understanding and reinforce learning.

Often a problem when developing literacy exercises for Year 1 pupils is how to give the children a purpose for writing, a thank you letter to a school visitor fits the bill nicely.

School Children Send In Thank You Letters

Wonderful writing from Year 1.

All the letters that we received were carefully read by our team of dinosaur experts and we have posted them up onto a big display board, a special thank you to all the budding palaeontologists who wrote thank you letters. It seems that the teaching staff had fun teaching about dinosaurs in school and the school children loved learning all about prehistoric animals.

Christ Church Primary School Pupils Study Remarkable Dinosaurs and Fossils

By Mike|2024-05-02T10:07:34+01:00March 30th, 2014|Key Stage 1/2|Comments Off on Christ Church Primary School Pupils Study Remarkable Dinosaurs and Fossils

Year 1 Study Dinosaurs All Morning

Year 1 children at Christ Church Primary School (Stoke-on-Trent, England), were visited by Everything Dinosaur and they took part in a series of fossil themed activities as part of a dinosaur workshop. The children had been learning about life in the past over the spring term and they were keen to demonstrate their knowledge and to explain to our expert how fossils were formed.

A team member from Everything Dinosaur had been invited to attend the school and conduct a dinosaur workshop with the enthusiastic young palaeontologists. The classroom was filled with examples of the children’s work, including some excellent posters and clay models of dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Workshop

As part of our work with the children, we challenged them to have a go at casting museum quality replica fossils from the company’s own extensive fossil collection. We compared our bones and bodies to that of a typical dinosaur (ornithopod) and we learned all about how the dinosaurs lived and when they become extinct.

An Example of the Writing Extension Exercise

Our dinosaur expert set a “pinkie palaeontologist challenge”, could the children write a thank you letter to Everything Dinosaur? Would they be able to use proper sentences? What would be the best way to start the letter and to conclude it? Could they include a comment about their favourite part of the morning?

With the teaching team’s help the children set about this challenge in the afternoon. A few days letter we received a set of thirty thank you letters from the children. In this instance, dinosaurs as a subject area is helping Lower Key Stage 1 children to write more confidently and to expand their vocabularies.

The model is very well painted (all Bullyland models in the company’s “Prehistoric Life” range are hand-painted), and we love the bright red crest on the skull of “Lambe’s Lizard”. The Lambeosaurus is posed in a quadrupedal position and it gives the impression of a dinosaur trotting along, this herbivore is depicted as a dynamic, active creative. This model is an improvement on other replicas that depict duck-billed dinosaurs in a “kangaroo-like” posture.

Australia Rejects Saltwater Crocodile Hunting Ban in Important Federal Government Ruling

By Mike|2024-05-02T10:09:05+01:00March 28th, 2014|Animal News Stories, Main Page|0 Comments

Crocodile “Trophy Hunting” Plan Turned Down

A controversial plan to allow safari hunters in Australia’s Northern Territory state to kill crocodiles, has been rejected by the federal government in Canberra. This is the latest set back for campaigners demanding a sustained and extensive cull of the many large, Saltwater crocodiles that inhabit water courses in the Northern Territory.

Saltwater Crocodile

Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt said “trophy hunting” would not be appropriate. The proposal, which was backed by the authorities and governors in Northern Territory, would have permitted up to fifty crocodiles to be shot for sport. Currently, around five hundred crocodiles are culled in the region every year.

Those campaigners that put the proposal forward in the first place, argue the plan would bring in much-needed income for some of the indigenous people in the region. The ability to put on such hunts would attract a lot of interest from shooting enthusiasts and this would give the State a considerable boost to its tourist incomes, but Greg Hunt’s decision to reject the plan has angered some Territorians living in some parts of Australia’s remote outback.

Bess Price, Minister for Wildlife and Parks commented:

“Greg Hunt has made a decision which will do nothing to improve the lives of indigenous Territorians living in remote communities.”

Crocodylus porosus

Saltwater crocodiles, otherwise known as Estuarine crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) can grow to a length in excess of seven metres and large males can weigh more than a tonne. They are responsible for a number of attacks on people, pets and livestock in Australia each year, their numbers having bounced back dramatically since a hunting ban was imposed in 1971.

A number of these attacks prove fatal, once these crocodiles are over five feet in length they are regarded as man-eaters. In January, two crocodiles were shot by park rangers as they tried to recover the body of a twelve year old boy that had been attacked. In August of last year, team members from Everything Dinosaur reported on the recovery of the body of a twenty-six year old man who had been killed by a crocodile whilst attempting to swim across the Mary River during a birthday party.

Win an Oviraptor Dinosaur Soft Toy with Everything Dinosaur

By Mike|2023-03-11T15:52:14+00:00March 27th, 2014|Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Win “Ovi” the Oviraptor Soft Toy with Everything Dinosaur

This competition has now closed.

Lots of entrants in our “Win Ovi the Oviraptor” soft toy competition already. Some very creative and clever surnames for our Oviraptor soft toy have been suggested but there is still time to enter as the closing date for this competition is not until Friday April 11th.

We thought it would be fun if we could come up with a contest with an egg theme as Easter approaches and so we come to Oviraptor, the dinosaur whose name means “egg thief”. When the fossils of this dinosaur were first discovered, it was mistakenly believed that the Oviraptor had been eating the eggs of another dinosaur. Scientists now know that although the diet of the virtually toothless Oviraptor is uncertain, the dinosaur whose fossils were found was actually protecting a nest of its own eggs.

Oviraptor

Some very clever names for “Ovi” have been suggested, “Ovi Oswald”, “Ovi wan Kenobi”, “Ovi Osborne” and “Ovi Ovious”. When the competition closes, we will put all the entrants into a hat and select a winner at random.
