Providing A Unique Perspective on the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival

By Mike|2025-10-25T16:30:25+01:00October 24th, 2025|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members Mike and Sue have received a request to provide the organisers with a Lyme Regis Fossil Festival testimonial. Everything Dinosaur was a main sponsor in 2025. It is ironic, as the company was originally consulted whether a festival should go ahead and this year, it celebrates its twentieth anniversary.

The organisers emailed to request comments and feedback. We were happy to provide a testimonial to the event organisers.

A Fossil Festival Testimonial

We thought it helpful to provide two testimonials. One longer testimonial and a second shorter one providing flexibility. We appreciate that the organisers might want to use the testimonials in a variety of media.

Here is our first testimonial:

Everything Dinosaur was delighted to be one of the principal sponsors of the 2025 Lyme Regis Fossil Festival, supporting this landmark 20th anniversary celebration of science, heritage, and community. We greatly valued the opportunity to engage directly with families, schools, and festival visitors, helping to inspire the next generation of scientists and prehistoric animal enthusiasts.

The Festival also provided the perfect stage for the launch of our British-designed Everything Dinosaur Evolution model range. If you are going to introduce a new series of dinosaur figures, there is surely no better place to do so than Lyme Regis, with its extraordinary heritage and history. The friendly and knowledgeable volunteers played a vital role in ensuring the Festival ran smoothly and were a credit to the event. We were proud to contribute to the Festival’s success and extend our thanks to the organisers, volunteers, and fellow sponsors who helped make the weekend so memorable.

Our Second Testimonial

The second testimonial is shorter. It is suitable for use in social media. We wanted to communicate how we worked with the Festival organisers and what we gained as a main sponsor.

Here is our second testimonial:

Everything Dinosaur was delighted to serve as one of the principal sponsors of the 2025 Lyme Regis Fossil Festival, a landmark 20th anniversary celebration of science, heritage, and community. The Festival provided the perfect stage for the launch of our British-designed Evolution model range – and where better to introduce a new series of prehistoric animal figures than Lyme Regis, with its extraordinary fossil heritage. We greatly valued the opportunity to meet families, schools, and festival visitors, and extend our thanks to the organisers, volunteers, and fellow sponsors who made the event such a success.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented upon the Fossil Festival testimonial and added:

“Mike and I were thrilled to be part of the 2025 Lyme Regis Fossil Festival and to help celebrate its 20th year. It was also the perfect place to launch our new British-designed Evolution model range. You couldn’t ask for a better backdrop than Lyme Regis with its amazing fossil heritage! The brilliant volunteers really made the weekend special, and it was fantastic to meet so many visitors and share our passion for dinosaurs.”

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.

A Stunning Dromaeosaur Illustration by Caldey

By Mike|2025-10-19T20:33:22+01:00October 19th, 2025|Categories: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings|0 Comments

Our thanks to talented artist Caldey who sent into Everything Dinosaur a beautiful illustration of the head of a dromaeosaurid dinosaur. We think the dromaeosaur illustration was inspired by the large “raptors” portrayed in the recent film “Primitive War”.

The feathers on the back of the head and neck have been carefully drawn. The facial scales are meticulously observed, and the dinosaur has been given a menacing look. The teeth are recurved and formidable. This is an apex predator of the jungle.

The colours chosen by the illustrator provide effective camouflage when the animal stalks prey through the dense forest. It is a vivid depiction of a predatory dinosaur.

Congratulations to you Caldey, it is a wonderful illustration and thank you for sharing it with us.

Fossil Footprints Dinosaur Models – How Discoveries and Research Inspires Designers

By Mike|2025-10-27T10:15:35+00:00October 16th, 2025|Categories: Dinosaur Fans|0 Comments

Fossil footprints and tracks are important trace fossils. They preserve ancient behaviour and reveal how extinct animals moved. Palaeontologists study these trace fossils to learn about locomotion. In addition, a trackway provides evidence on speed, gait and often, social interaction. Fossil footprints dinosaur models – there is a connection. For example, a new study, due to be published in a few days, will provide fresh information on the anatomy of hadrosaur feet. Tracks of duck-billed dinosaurs along with remarkable body fossils help model designers to produce accurate hadrosaur figures.

Fossil Footprints Dinosaur Models

Even a single print can provide vital clues. Information can then be incorporated into the design of a new figure by the design team. For instance, tyrannosaur prints, most probably from a Tyrannosaurus rex have been incorporated into the display base of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained:

“Dinosaur tracks and prints preserve behaviour. A single track captures a moment in deep time. Trace fossils provide remarkable evidence, and we want to reflect this in our model’s display base.”

To view the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range of scale prehistoric animal figures: Everything Dinosaur Evolution Models.

Model makers study the evidence. Accurate footprints help guide how models are posed. Furthermore, they can assist with the figure’s stability. The large, fleshy pads on the feet of sauropods incorporated into a model’s design can help the figure to be stable. It passes our “carpet test”.

Trackways provide evidence of movement and body posture. For example, most dinosaur figures do not have their tail resting on the ground. Analysis of fossil trackways indicate that tails were held aloft.

Collectors can see these details in incorporated into dinosaur models. Moreover, some models include display bases with footprints. For instance, our own 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model. Other replicas feature animals in mid-stride, reflecting fossil evidence. This attention to scientific detail makes models more realistic. It also connects collectors to the science behind the design.

Everything Dinosaur continues to celebrate the science that inspires model making. Collectors can enjoy figures shaped by fossil evidence. Each model brings the past to life and helps share the wonder of prehistoric life.
