Mike and Sue of Everything Dinosaur have received a special preview image of the front cover art for the next issue of “Prehistoric Times” magazine. Issue 155 (autumn/fall) 2025 will be despatched shortly.  There is an article about prehistoric sharks in this issue.  Hence the front cover artwork which features a prehistoric shark doing its best to avoid the jaws of a theropod dinosaur. Our thanks to editor Mike Fredericks for sending the image.

“Prehistoric Times” Magazine

“Prehistoric Times” is the leading magazine for dinosaur fans and collectors. Each full-colour issue runs for over sixty pages. Inside, you will find expert reviews of the newest prehistoric animal model kits, toy figures, and books. The magazine also features exclusive interviews with artists and scientists. You can enjoy world-class palaeoart and discover the latest findings in palaeontology. In addition, “Prehistoric Times” delivers unique news and insights about prehistoric life that you will not find anywhere else. Moreover, Everything Dinosaur occasionally features too.

Polacanthus (P. foxii) is also featured in issue 155.  It is one of our favourite prehistoric animals.  The holotype fossil material was found by the Reverend William Fox on the Isle of Wight in early 1865.  This taxon remains one of the most controversial of the Early Cretaceous armoured dinosaurs. For example, several species have been named but only the type specimen Polacanthus foxii is regarded as valid.
