By |2025-03-21T12:23:08+00:00March 21st, 2025|Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

At Everything Dinosaur updating customers is our priority.  Today, (March 21st, 2025), a major incident has been declared at London Heathrow airport.  A fire at an electricity substation near to the airport has led to the closure of Heathrow.  We would like to express our sympathies to all those people who have been affected by this unfortunate incident.  Some of our overseas customers might see a delay in their parcel delivery.

Mike and Sue from Everything Dinosaur apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We have put out the following media release.  Our thanks to one of our international courier partners (OCS Worldwide) for their assistance.

Everything Dinosaur Updating Customers

The media release explains why Heathrow airport has been closed.  It is hoped that the airport will be able to open tomorrow.  The airport will remain closed all day (Friday, 21st March).  The fire at a nearby electrical substation has also cut-off electricity to nearby homes and businesses.

The closure will mean that some of our customer’s parcels destined for overseas are likely to be delayed.

If you are concerned and wish to enquire about your order, please contact Everything Dinosaur: Email Everything Dinosaur Team Members.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We want to reassure customers.  OCS Worldwide, one of the international couriers we use has a depot at Heathrow.  Whilst their depot is working normally, the disruption caused by the fire will lead to some delays for parcels. Sue and I recognise the importance of Everything Dinosaur updating customers.  We will continue to monitor the situation, and we are confident that our courier partners will be able to adjust and ensure the swift progress of our customer’s orders.”

The World’s Oldest Cerapoda Fossil Sheds New Light on Dinosaur Evolution

By |2025-04-04T17:55:27+01:00March 20th, 2025|Palaeontological articles|0 Comments

A fragment of a left femur found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco is the earliest evidence of the cerapodan clade of dinosaurs.  An open access study, published in the Royal Society Open Science earlier this month posits that this fragmentary specimen is the world’s oldest cerapodan fossil. As such, it is helping palaeontologists to understand the evolutionary origins of one of the most diverse and successful dinosaur groups.

The World’s Oldest Cerapodan

The Cerapoda consists of bird-hipped dinosaurs (part of the Ornithischia). These mainly herbivorous dinosaurs became a major component of Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystems. They dominated the herbivorous niche in Late Cretaceous ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere. One of the secrets of their evolutionary success is that they evolved sophisticated chewing mechanisms to help them break down plant material. Early cerapodans were small and bipedal. However, by the Late Cretaceous they had evolved obligate quadrupedality and some of these dinosaurs were the largest non-sauropod dinosaurs on Earth.

The term Cerapoda is a combination of the words ceratopsian and ornithopod.

The Remarkable El Mers III Formation

The fossil was discovered in 2020 by a field team exploring exposures of the El Mers III Formation at Boulahfa, near Boulemane, central Morocco.  The strata were laid down during the Bathonian of the Middle Jurassic (168 to 165 million years ago). This specimen represents the world’s oldest cerapodan. The El Mers III Formation has also yielded the world’s oldest ankylosaur, the first discovered in Africa (Spicomellus afer), as well as one of the oldest stegosaurs.  For example, in 2019 we wrote a blog post about Adratiklit boulahfa, the first stegosaur to be described from North Africa.

To read our blog post about Spicomellus afer: The Earliest Ankylosaur Known to Science and Africa’s First.

Our 2019 article about A. boulahfaNorth Africa’s First Stegosaur.

These North African deposits are providing evidence of some of the earliest members of key clades within the Dinosauria.  The fossil (specimen number USMBA 001) consists of a femoral head offset on a distinct neck with a constriction between the head and the trochanter (a ridge that indicates a large muscle attachment).  These anatomical characteristics identify the fossil as coming from a cerapodan dinosaur.

The fragmentary left femur fossil provides evidence of the world's oldest cerapodan ornithischian dinosaur.

The researchers conclude that further sampling of the El Mers III Formation sediments will be crucial in helping to understand the radiation of ornithischian dinosaurs. The research team hope to find more fossil material representing the world’s oldest cerapodan.

Callovosaurus leedsi and a Scottish Fossil

Previously, the oldest definite cerapodan fossil was a partial left femur from the Oxford Clay Formation found at Fletton, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The type species was described by the English naturalist Richard Lydekker in 1889. Originally named Camptosaurus leedsi this dinosaur was redescribed in 1980 (Galton) and renamed Callovosaurus leedsi. Its taxonomy has yet to be resolved. The fossil specimen number NHMUK R1993, could represent a basal iguanodontian or perhaps a dryosaurid.

The fossil is thought to be approximately 164 million years old.

Rounded, tridactyl footprints from bipedal dinosaurs which are thought to represent cerapodan dinosaurs have been reported from Middle Jurassic sediments from around the world. However, early cerapodan body fossils are exceptionally rare.  A partial dinosaur skeleton from the Isle of Skye, could be another cerapodan.  This specimen is around 166 million years old.  Unfortunately, whilst likely to represent a dinosaur, these fossils are too poorly preserved and fragmentary to definitely identify this material as a representative of the Cerapoda.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s article about the Isle of Skye fossil specimen: Rare Elgol Dinosaur Fossil Scientifically Described.

Defining the Cerapoda

The Cerapoda is a clade within the Ornithischia (bird-hipped dinosaurs). It consists of two distinct subgroups, the Ornithopoda and the Marginocephalia. The clade is extremely diverse.  The ornithopods include iconic dinosaurs such as Iguanodon, Hypsilophodon and the Hadrosauriformes. In turn, the Marginocephalia comprises the horned dinosaurs (Ceratopsia) and the bone-headed dinosaurs (pachycephalosaurs).

The New Papo Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model is in Stock

By |2025-03-19T10:31:07+00:00March 18th, 2025|Papo Prehistoric Animal Models|0 Comments

The new Papo Corythosaurus dinosaur model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  It is great to see a new replica of a lambeosaurine dinosaur.  When it comes to hadrosaurs, model collectors have several Saurolophinae subfamily members to choose from.  Notably, Maiasaura and Edmontosaurus.  Indeed, the Lambeosaurinae subfamily is represented in model collections by the likes of Parasaurolophus and Lambeosaurus.  However, the flamboyant Corythosaurus has been somewhat neglected over the years.  Safari Ltd had a Corythosaurus in their Carnegie Collectibles line and PNSO introduced a Corythosaurus figure in 2020. The new Papo Corythosaurus is a most welcome new addition.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new Papo dinosaur figure.  Corythosaurus is an iconic member of the Ornithischia.  Most books about dinosaurs feature “helmet lizard”.  Our thanks to Papo for adding a Corythosaurus to their range.”

The Papo Corythosaurus Dinosaur Model

The Papo Corythosaurus measures around twenty centimetres in length.  It is the second lambeosaurine dinosaur model to be made by Papo.  A Parasaurolophus model was one of the first plant-eating dinosaur figures to be introduced.  The figure has been painted in a variety of brown and tan colours.  There is a single row of prominent scutes running from the back of the neck to halfway down the tail.  The Corythosaurus is depicted as a quadruped.

The skin texture shows some amazing detail.  Our congratulations to the design team they have replicated what is known about Corythosaurus skin texture from the fossil record.  It is a typical Papo figure.  The Corythosaurus typifies Papo’s unique take on the Dinosauria.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“Papo figures are popular with young dinosaur fans.  This Papo Corythosaurus is ideal for robust, creative play.  We are sure this engaging dinosaur figure will prove to be a favourite amongst young fans of Papo figures.”

Happy St Patrick’s Day – Celebrating the Remarkable Megaloceros

By |2025-03-19T09:46:00+00:00March 17th, 2025|Dinosaur Fans|0 Comments

A happy St Patrick’s Day! Legend has it that all the snakes were driven out of Ireland by St Patrick, but what about the dinosaurs in Ireland? Today, March 17th, is the day we celebrate Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is a day to wear green and to carry a shamrock. One of the myths that has emerged is that St Patrick banished snakes from Ireland. This might be a metaphor as some pagans used the snake as a symbol and St Patrick helped to introduce Christianity to the Emerald Isle.

We at Everything Dinosaur wish all our Irish customers a happy St Patricks Day.

What About Fossils of Dinosaurs in Ireland?

With so many limestone exposures on the island of Ireland there are plenty of places to find invertebrate fossils.  However, as far as we at Everything Dinosaur are aware, only two fossils of dinosaurs have been found on the island.  These specimens were found in Jurassic aged rocks exposed on the coast of County Antrim (Northern Ireland).

To read more about this fossil discovery: First Dinosaur Fossils from the Island of Ireland.

These two specimens represent two different dinosaurs.  One fragmentary bone probably represents an ornithischian dinosaur, perhaps an armoured dinosaur.  The second specimen, also fragmentary, has been assigned to the Theropoda.  It was certainly not a member of the Tyrannosauridae family.  Notwithstanding this, we used artificial intelligence (AI) to create an image for us.  We wanted a dinosaur celebrating St Patrick’s Day.  The image generated certainly fits the brief provided.  However, theropods like Tyrannosaurus rex never roamed Ireland.

Happy St Patrick's Day from Everything Dinosaur.

Not Many Dinosaurs but Megaloceros Aplenty

There might not be many dinosaur fossils. However, there are plenty of other, albeit much later vertebrates associated with this location. For example, large numbers of Megaloceros (M. giganteus) fossils have been found in Ireland. So many in fact, that this extinct deer is often referred to as the Irish elk. Ironically, Megaloceros was not confined to Ireland. Its fossils are found all over Europe and northern Asia. In addition, it was not closely related to the extant elk.

The term seems to have become popular from the 1800s onwards due to the large number of exceptionally well-preserved specimens found in lake sediments and peat bogs in Ireland. Many of these “Irish elk” specimens can still be seen in museums all over the world today.

Famed for its enormous antlers, Megaloceros exhibits are often found in prominent and busy locations in museums.  Their fossils certainly make an eye-catching display.  Model collectors have a rather limited choice when it comes to replicas of Megaloceros.  However, in 2020 Papo introduced a Megaloceros replica.  Team members at Everything Dinosaur had the opportunity to view a prototype, and the production figure is most impressive.

How to Acquire Rare, Out of Production Dinosaur Models

By |2025-03-14T10:46:23+00:00March 14th, 2025|Dinosaur Fans|0 Comments

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is: how can I acquire rare dinosaur models?  For some collectors it is not enough to purchase the latest releases.  They are looking for retired and rare models too. Figures that they remember from their childhood.  Prehistoric animal toys that were once cherished.  Sometimes the collector sets out to obtain an entire retired range.  For example, we still get some enquiries about the Carnegie Collection.  Incidentally, this range of figures was retired a decade ago.

Rare Dinosaur Models

Acquiring rare dinosaur models can be an exciting extension to their hobby for collectors.  Unfortunately, we have heard many stories about collectors being let down.  For example, the advertised figure does not turn out to be as expected.  It is not in pristine condition, it lacks the original product tags or packaging.  Worse still, it turns out to be a copy of the cherished figure and not an original.

Here are our top tips when it comes to sourcing rare figures:

  1. Start by finding a reliable supplier.  A specialist in museum-quality collectibles.  Look for retailers with genuine customer reviews and a solid reputation in the model collecting community.
  2. Having identified such a supplier, reach out to them.  Contact them directly.  A reliable and trustworthy supplier should welcome your enquiry. In addition, they should be able to demonstrate considerable product knowledge.  This two-way contact can help provide valuable information about the quality and availability of figures.
  3. Ask for photographs.  Trusted companies should be happy to send out additional images.  For example, at Everything Dinosaur we often photograph individual models and email these images to the potential buyer.
  4. Make sure that any prices are clear and unambiguous.  There can be hidden costs, especially if purchasing from overseas.  Extra charges can occur due to customs, tariffs or additional costs for postage.  A transparent pricing structure helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures you know exactly what you’re paying for.

By following these steps, you can build a collection of rare prehistoric animal figures that will impress any enthusiast. Happy collecting!

The Cyberzoic S. populator’s extensive articulation permits this figure to be put into some dynamic and extremely dramatic poses.

Dramatic Poses

Smilodon populator is the largest species of Smilodon known. Indeed, it is amongst the largest of all the Felidae members. A shoulder height of 1.2 metres has been reported with weight estimates of more than four hundred kilogrammes. This species roamed South America during the Pleistocene Epoch. However, isolated populations could have survived into the Holocene. It is known from Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and also Argentina.
