A Dinosaur for Halloween

Caldey repainted a raptor skeleton to give it a chilling new look. She also arranged a black fabric backdrop and clever lighting. The skeleton appears surrounded by glowing candles, creating a dramatic and eerie effect. The result is both haunting and impressive.

Dinosaurs once roamed the Earth. Some could be regarded as monsters. Creatures like Giganotosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex would have been more terrifying than any Halloween ghoul. Caldey’s design reminds us that dinosaurs have universal appeal. Their skeletons inspire Halloween creations. Her artwork shows how science and creativity can combine to inspire imagination.

We admire the attention to detail and artistic flair. From the careful repaint to the atmospheric setting, every element enhances the spooky mood. Caldey has shown great creativity and skill in developing her Halloween theme.

We congratulate Caldey for her fantastic work. She has captured the essence of dinosaurs as both fascinating and frightening. This dinosaur for Halloween will certainly make an unforgettable impression.

Furthermore, from us on All Hallows Eve – spooky best wishes.

New Study Reveals How Climate Change Threatens Australian Reptiles

By Mike|2025-11-02T18:08:07+00:00October 28th, 2025|Categories: Animal News Stories|0 Comments

Many reptiles around the world are seriously threatened by climate change, but unfortunately it is often difficult to predict their chances of survival. However, a new study published in “Current Biology” demonstrates how Quaternary climate change has affected Australian reptiles. This isolated continent with its unique flora and fauna is threatened by climate change. The scientists were able to plot the effect of climate change on Rankinia diemensis, a small agamid lizard endemic to New South Wales and Victoria.

This new research combines analysis of fossil material from museum collections with genetic data from museum specimens. The team were able to plot population changes over the last twenty thousand years. The collections of natural history museums are a unique resource for studying the effects of climate change on biodiversity and linking the past, present and future of endangered species.

Lead author of the study Dr Till Ramm, a scientist and former doctoral student at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the Museums Victoria Research Institute in Melbourne, says the research shows that R. diemensis was probably displaced to higher altitudes by the changing climate.

The Threat to Australian Reptiles

During the last ice age, approximately twenty thousand years ago, Rankinia diemensis had a much wider distribution in south-eastern Australia. Populations on Kangaroo Island and in the limestone region surrounding the town of Naracoorte in South Australia went extinct. The remaining populations are isolated. If temperatures continue to rise, these lizards will also become extinct.

Using X-ray tomographic imaging techniques to identify tiny fossil fragments and combining this information with genomic data from recent museum specimens, the team was able to track long-term changes in the range of this species and its genetic diversity. The team conclude that populations at lower altitudes have already suffered a decline in genetic diversity, while cooler habitats at higher altitudes are also under threat due to global warming. This makes the Australian Mountain Dragon an indicator species for other reptiles inhabiting the same ecosystem.

Ectothermic animals such as reptiles cannot regulate their body temperature. As a result, they are particularly vulnerable to changes in the climate. Many Asian and Australian taxa are under threat including the largest lizard in the world – the Komodo Dragon.

Loss of Reptile Diversity in Victoria

It is also alarming that a particularly large number of reptile species are classified as endangered in the region around the Southern Alps in Victoria. Some other species exhibit similar patterns of decline. Black-and-yellow blue-tongued skinks (Tiliqua nigrolutea), Alpine oak skinks (Cyclodomorphus praealtus) and White’s skinks (Liopholis whitii) had bigger ranges in the past. All these species are threatened by climate change.

Co-author of the paper, Professor Johannes Müller (Museum für Naturkunde Berlin) commented:

“By learning from the past, we can make more accurate predictions and decisions for the future. Our findings show how quickly climate change can affect biodiversity and why habitat protection is more important than ever today”.

This research demonstrates the value of the importance of fossil data for the development of conservation strategies.

New Research Challenges Perceptions About Dinosaur Biota at the End of the Cretaceous

By Mike|2025-11-19T13:12:07+00:00October 27th, 2025|Categories: Palaeontological articles|0 Comments

A recently published study has challenged existing perceptions about the last days of the dinosaurs. Researchers writing in the academic journal “Science” propose that there were thriving dinosaur-dominated communities and extensive provinciality at the end of the Cretaceous. Previously, it had been suggested that the non-avian dinosaurs were in decline immediately prior to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event. Indeed, the extra-terrestrial bolide impact in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico was essentially the coup de grâce for the dinosaurs. However, this study focused on the Upper Cretaceous Naashoibito Member paints a very different picture proposing that dinosaurs were diverse and partitioned into regionally distinct assemblages during the final few hundred thousand years before the mass extinction event.

The Naashoibito Member

This study focuses on the Naashoibito Member in the De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area (New Mexico). The strata studied has been dated to 66.4 to 66 million years ago (late Maastrichtian faunal stage). It was conducted by researchers from New Mexico State University, Baylor University, New Mexico Tech, the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with other international colleagues.

For many years, most data on end-Cretaceous dinosaur faunas came from North America. These sites, especially those in the Hell Creek region, shaped the debate over whether dinosaurs faded away gradually or were wiped out suddenly. For example, the Hell Creek Formation reveals an ecosystem dominated by Triceratops and Edmontosaurus with relatively few other megaherbivores. Researchers lacked data from contemporaneous ecosystems further south. Research into the dinosaur biota of the Naashoibito Member helps fill that gap.

The team used magnetic field reversals and geochemical dating to establish the age of the rocks. Earth’s magnetic field flips between normal and reversed states through geological time. These reversals are global and well dated, so they can act as geological timestamps. By measuring the magnetic signatures preserved in the rocks, and by analysing crystals within the associated sandstones, the researchers determined that the Naashoibito Member dates to between 66.4 and 66.0 million years ago. These dinosaurs lived at the same time as the famous Hell Creek species such as Triceratops and Edmontosaurus.

A Different Dinosaur Community

The New Mexico dinosaur community revealed by the highly fossiliferous Naashoibito Member is very different. Hell Creek and other northern Upper Cretaceous strata might be dominated by hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, but the researchers discovered that the largest herbivore in New Mexico at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs was the giant titanosaur Alamosaurus. Alamosaurus sanjuanensis is thought to be one of the biggest terrestrial land animals known to science. It may have reached a length in excess of thirty metres. Its presence shows that colossal sauropods still flourished during the Late Cretaceous.

This research demonstrates that other dinosaurs in southern Laramidia were not relics from an earlier time. They were contemporaries of many northern species. There is no evidence of a terminal decline within the Dinosauria. Instead, each region had its own unique fauna and distinct communities. Geography and climate shaped these communities and the Dinosauria were highly diverse across Laramidia.

These patterns continued into the Palaeogene Epoch. For example, even after the mass extinction event, surviving mammals in the north and south still formed distinct communities. This differs from other mass extinctions, which often produced more uniform faunas. Therefore, the extra-terrestrial impact did not erase regional differences immediately.

The Implications for this Research into the Palaeo-fauna of the Naashoibito Member

For palaeontologists, the implications of this research go far beyond New Mexico. It demonstrates that the Dinosauria was not declining sixty-six million years ago. The researchers postulate that diverse, healthy, regionally different dinosaur-dominated ecosystems survived until the bolide struck the Yucatán Peninsula. That impact triggered environmental devastation leading to the extinction of around seventy-five percent of life on Earth, including the non-avian dinosaurs.

The Naashoibito Member is emerging as one of the most significant and important Upper Cretaceous exposures in the world. It provides a rare and essential snapshot of the last chapter in the history of the non-avian dinosaurs.

Choosing the Perfect Megalodon Model for Your Collection

By Mike|2025-11-12T07:35:10+00:00October 25th, 2025|Categories: Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

For fans of prehistoric sharks and collectors of fossil shark teeth there are several excellent megalodon figures to choose from when it comes to showing off your fossil collection. At Everything Dinosaur, we get asked questions by collectors of Otodus megalodon teeth. Usually, the questions concern recommendations about which megalodon model is best to display next to fossils so that an impression of the actual animal can be given. Leading brands such as Safari Ltd, Papo, CollectA, PNSO, and Haolonggood each offer their own interpretation of the mighty Otodus megalodon.

Here are our recommendations.

The Papo Megalodon is an excellent budget choice. It oozes Papo style, and the figure has real presence. The model has plenty of character, nice detail and the snout is particularly well done.

It measures over twenty centimetres in length and Papo figures have lots of fans. The model was introduced in 2021 and is quite difficult to track down. However, Everything Dinosaur usually has this shark model in stock.

A well-crafted megalodon model brings science to life. It helps collectors visualise how this giant shark might have looked as it hunted in ancient seas. When displayed alongside fossil teeth, these models reveal the true scale of this extinct super-predator.

Collectors around the world love adding a megalodon model to their prehistoric displays. Each figure captures the power and presence of this ancient shark. With so many options available, finding the right one is both exciting and rewarding.

Because every brand takes a slightly different approach, many enthusiasts enjoy collecting several versions. This variety shows how palaeontological understanding continues to evolve.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Collectors around the world love adding a megalodon model to their prehistoric displays. Each figure captures the power and presence of this ancient shark. With so many options available, finding the right one is both challenging and satisfying.”

Whether you are a seasoned collector or a newcomer, choosing a megalodon model offers a fascinating way to explore prehistory and appreciate the ocean’s most formidable hunter.

Wonderful Prehistoric Animal Model Photographs

By Mike|2025-10-26T06:36:40+00:00October 23rd, 2025|Categories: Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Our thanks to dinosaur fan and prehistoric animal model collector Luke who sent into Everything Dinosaur some wonderful prehistoric animal model photographs. He had recently acquired a Haolonggood Shantungosaurus figure, and the photographs give an impression of the size of this hadrosaur. The Haolonggood model is in 1:35 scale. The photographer carefully selected other models and photographed them next to the Shantungosaurus. These images provide dinosaur fans with an impression of just how big Shantungosaurus was. For example, in the first image the Shantungosaurus is shown next to an African elephant model. The human figure provides additional scale.

Comparing Prehistoric Animal Model Sizes

Shantungosaurus (S. giganteus), is the largest hadrosauroid known to science. Size estimates vary but it could have reached lengths in excess of seventeen metres. Furthermore, this huge herbivore could have weighed in excess of fifteen tonnes.

The comparison with the Rebor Diplodocus provides further evidence of the size of Shantungosaurus. The Diplodocus model is also a 1:35 scale figure. The Diplodocus is longer, but the Haolonggood Shantungosaurus figure gives the impression that in reality it would have been a heavier animal. Hadrosaurs are perceived by many people as being little more than tyrannosaur food. However, many taxa were bigger than the largest tyrannosaurs.

Moreover, Shantungosaurus is not the only massive hadrosaur. Within the hadrosaur subfamily the Saurolophinae there were other giants. For example, the closely related taxon Edmontosaurus, which is known from North America, may have reached lengths in excess of twelve metres. The cleverly composed photograph showing the PNSO Zabad the Edmontosaurus adjacent to the Haolonggood Shantungosaurus model gives an impression of the size of these two dinosaurs.

The photograph (above) shows the Haolonggood Shantungosaurus (foreground) with the PNSO Edmontosaurus figure (background). Once again, the inclusion of a human figure provides an additional scale reference.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Thank you Luke for providing such an excellent set of photographs. These images help to convey the approximate size of dinosaurs in relation to each other. For example, the photographs help to convey the huge mass of Shantungosaurus. It dwarfs the African elephant, and the human figure is tiny when compared next to this hadrosaur.”

Thank you for sharing your excellent photographs.
