“Prehistoric Times” Spring 2026

The next issue of this quarterly publication will be out shortly.  Rhizodus is one of the featured prehistoric animals in the next issue.  It is known from the Early Carboniferous and currently two valid species are recognised. It had a pair of huge fang-like teeth at the front of its jaws. Fossil specimens suggest these teeth were over twenty centimetres long. It was a huge, freshwater predator, measuring over five metres in length. Some palaeontologists speculate that it was an ambush predator. Lurking near the shore, it may have ambushed unwary animals coming down to the water to drink. This is a similar predatory method to a modern-day crocodile.

The bizarre theropod Incisivosaurus also features.

In addition, palaeontologist Jack Horner writes exclusively for the magazine.  Horner opines about the recent changes in the science of palaeontology. John Lavas continues his exploration of the Czech artist Zdeněk Burian.  Issue 157 covers Burian’s work on prehistoric rhinos.  Furthermore, American palaeontologist Ken Carpenter discusses dinosaur footprints and trackways.

Everything Dinosaur’s review of issue 156: A Review of Issue 156.

Subscribers to this popular magazine can expect lots of other palaeontology themed articles.  Moreover, we can expect input from regular writers such as Phil Hore, Randy Knol and Tracy L. Ford.  Everything Dinosaur might be mentioned too.

The spring edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine will be sent out shortly.
