“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.

Another enjoyable edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine.  This quarterly publication aimed at fans of prehistoric animals and palaeoart just gets better and better.  The front cover artwork for “Prehistoric Times” issue 156 was supplied by acclaimed American artist and illustrator William Stout.  The artwork depicts a scene from the Jurassic and readers are treated to some other examples of William’s work inside.

John Lavas continues his inventory of Zdeněk Burian’s prehistoric elephants with part two of the discussion on mammoths. Most of the beautiful illustrations featured were created in 1961 but look out for an iconic example of Mammuthus primigenius artwork from 1941 which occurs towards the end of the article.  Burian’s work inspired talented Polish sculptor Marta Szubert to create a bust of a Coelodonta antiquitatis.  It was the start of a career recreating prehistoric life for numerous museums.  Several examples of her work are included in an article inside this issue.

Alamosaurus and American Faunal Interchange

Phil Hore is our guide to the titanosaurian sauropod Alamosaurus and there are some spectacular illustrations too.  Congratulations to all the contributors.  Readers who submitted artwork include Tim Bollinger, Dale Novak, Chuck Egnaczak and Jeri Hurt.  Some illustrations depict this giant herbivore interacting with predatory dinosaurs. A theme utilised by Anthony Pichler and Christoffer Gertz Bech.  We noted the Alamosaurus shown in lateral view by Jason Abdale and Phil Hore’s use of the term “sauropod hiatus”.  The absence of sauropods from North America is subsequently discussed by the aforementioned Jason Abdale in a feature that explores the faunal interchange between North and South America towards the end of the Cretaceous.  Jason, a professional historian, writer and artist also outlines the presence of hadrosaurs in South America.

In turn, Tracy L. Ford continues the hadrosaur theme in his regular column.  The challenging task of understanding the hadrosaur manus (hand) is explained. New information gleaned from hadrosaur mummies has enabled palaeontologists to gain a better understanding of the anatomy of the manus.  Excellent line drawings help to clarify how the fossil material has been interpreted.

New Prehistoric Animal Models

Other regular contributors include editor Mike Fredericks who reviews some of the latest offerings by CollectA, Papo, and Schleich.  His favourite new CollectA model is the 1:20 scale prehistoric giraffid Sivatherium.

The new CollectA male Sivatherium model shown in lateral view.  The CollectA Deluxe 1:20 scale model is a favourite of the magazine’s editor.

Mike demonstrates his versatility by also overseeing the “Mesozoic Media” section of the magazine.  Reviews of several publications are provided. It is great to see a review of “The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs” by Dr Dean Lomax and illustrated by Bob Nicholls.  This is an excellent book – highly recommended.  Prehistoric plants enter the limelight with the publication of “The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Plants”.  In addition, we note the inclusion of “Spinosaur Tales: The Biology and Ecology of Spinosaurs” by Dr David Hone and Dr Mark Witton.

Regular contributor Randy Knol opines on eurypterids and praises the CollectA Jaekelopterus figure before moving on to discuss megalosaurs and small theropods.  He concludes his round up of news for model collectors by discussing Australian Pleistocene megafauna.

Examining Arizonasaurus

The second prehistoric animal to be highlighted is Arizonasaurus.  Our thanks to Phil Hore for his entertaining and enlightening article. This Middle Triassic archosaur has inspired a large amount of reader submitted artwork.  There are too many amazing sail-backed reptile illustrations to enable me to name check all the talented and dedicated artists, but favourite illustrations include those contributed by Paul Passano, Giovanni DeBenedictis, Josh Dillon, Maximillan Reichardt, Joshua Ballze and Gabriel Ugueto. Other noteworthy contributions come from Wade Carmen and Kevin Hedgepeth who along with Tracy L. Ford chose to highlight elements of the skeleton.  Thanks also to George Feldman for his ammonite crunching Arizonasaurus.

Issue 156 of “Prehistoric Times” also includes several palaeontological articles.  For example, palaeontologist Dr Jordan Mallon explains why some dinosaurs grew to enormous sizes and American palaeontologist Kenneth Carpenter dives into the swimming secrets of plesiosaurs.  Preston Knowles discusses the evolution of sharks, an article that continues the elasmobranch theme from an earlier issue, whilst Sean Kotz walks us through the painting of a Paralititan figure.

A World Without the “Park”

The usual “Paleonews” feature is included, and it was great to see the work on diplodocid integument by Tess Gallagher summarised in this section of the magazine. Robert Telleria pens an intriguing article that unpicks the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” franchise and examines the toy merchandise that accompanies the films. Last by not least, we note the two superb illustrations of Triassic Antarctica that can be found inside this issue. William Stout created this artwork. We referred to these beautiful illustrations earlier.  The fauna of the most southerly landmass has inspired this artist. A diorama of the Antarctica during the Jurassic is featured on the magazine’s back cover.

It’s another jam-packed edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine. Issue 155 (autumn/fall) features prehistoric sharks, Polacanthus and a bikini-clad actress.  The shark theme is highlighted in the front cover artwork created by Joshua Ballze.  A Dimetrodon attempts to catch a Xenacanthus shark, which in turn is chasing a Diplocaulus.  An intriguing analogue of the Indian mantra of “The Law of the Fish” and we note the reference to Matsya Nyaya by the editor.

A Review of “Prehistoric Times” Issue 155

Hopefully, regular contributor Phil Hore is on the mend.  He provides a thoroughly entertaining guide to prehistoric sharks and explains how fossilised teeth were thought to have magical properties.  The Roman polymath Pliny the Elder is mentioned, along with the summer block-buster movie “Jaws”.  There is an eclectic mix of sharks represented by reader submitted artwork.  Russell Hawley illustrates “megalodon” and includes a fossil tooth, otherwise known as a “tongue stone” after the term used by Pliny the Elder. An Edestus drawing submitted by Fred Synder, and illustrations of the bizarre Carboniferous shark Falcatus by M. Elliot Massion and Yaroslav Koryakov caught our eye.

The featured dinosaur article, normally the domain of Phil Hore, was penned by Russell Hawley with editor Mike Fredericks chipping in too.  The article examined polacanthids and discussed how the Ankylosauria clade came to be. Some beautiful drawings and sacral shields aplenty.

Given the fragmentary nature of the Polacanthus foxii material artists have plenty of scope when it comes to illustrating the dermal armour. Intriguing illustrations from Spanish artist Juan Plata and Tony Pichler depicted polacanthids in an Early Cretaceous landscape and in the case of Juan Plata’s artwork interacting with other prehistoric animals. Congratulations to Aaron Marsh, Anthony McMillen, Matt Finstrom and to Ray Friesen for their contributions.  Phil Hore would be most impressed by all the fabulous artwork that is included.

Focusing on Mammoths

From a prehistoric animal with a fragmentary fossil record, we leap to the other end of the palaeontology spectrum with the latest instalment of the contribution to palaeoart by Zdeněk Burian.  This is part thirty-four of a long-running series by John Lavas and it contains some fascinating insights into the first expeditions to recover Mammuthus primigenius carcases from Siberia. Naturally, the well-written article includes lots of amazing Burian illustrations.

The Berezovka mammoth (1967) by Burian one of the amazing illustrations in the article highlighting the remarkable illustrations of Woolly Mammoths produced by Burian.

There are the regular contributions from Randy Knol, editor Mike Fredericks, Robert Telleria and Tracy L. Ford. In addition, there is a marvellous first-hand account of a visit to the Galerie Paleontologie in Paris with excellent photographs of exhibits included.  Thanks to Elizabeth Russell Debus and Allen A. Debus for their article.

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth

The British fantasy made by Hammer Films entitled “When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth” provides the opportunity to include plenty of images of the bikini-clad Victoria Vetri.  This movie, written and directed by Val Guest, is the subject of a detailed article by John Navroth.  There is plenty of “Hammer Glamour” and of course, the article is populated with lots of amazing images of the plethora of prehistoric animals that feature in the film too.  The film is a firm favourite, having had the opportunity to visit several filming locations on Gran Canaria a few years ago.

The Bluray edition of this film from 1970 is highlighted in the “Mesozoic Media” section written by Mike Fredericks.  This section also features reviews of the remarkable “Mesozoic Art II” and “Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World” by Michael Benton.  Both books are recommended.

Sean Kotz provides a guide to painting an Ankylosaurus figure and the articles by Robert Telleria and Patrick Schaefer’s comments on the prehistoric figures introduced by MPC are enlightening.

Issue 155 is a lively mix of science, artwork, and nostalgia. It’s another strong reminder of why “Prehistoric Times” magazine remains essential reading for anyone with a passion for palaeoart, deep time and the models that bring ancient animals to life.

Meteorological summer might be ending but there is just time to review the latest edition of the quarterly magazine “Prehistoric Times”.  It is issue 154 and the front cover artwork features a pair of Confuciusornis birds.  The illustration was created by Jan Sovak, who sadly passed away earlier this year.  Renowned palaeontologist Phil Currie has penned a fitting tribute to the Czech-born artist and book illustrator.  The article features several examples of Jan’s beautiful palaeoart including his illustration of Murusraptor barrosaensis, which accompanied the media release about that dinosaur’s discovery.  The Camarasaurus artwork on the back cover of this issue of “Prehistoric Times” magazine was also created by Jan Sovak.

Torvosaurus and the Bizarre Peltephilus

Regular contributor Phil Hore guides us through the two featured prehistoric animals. The article on Torvosaurus provides an insight to the currently recognised species but also hints at the possibility that the Torvosaurus taxon could have been more geographically widespread than previously thought.  The author speculates on whether this super-sized theropod originated in Europe before spreading further into Laramidia and reaching Gondwana via land bridges.

There are some super Torvosaurus illustrations.  Wade Carmen chose to illustrate the skull, whereas M. Elliot Massion shows the carnivore in a resting pose.  Confrontations with Stegosaurus are also popular, thanks to Tony Pichler and Gus Pritchard for their contributions.  John Trotter chose to depict Torvosaurus trying to avoid a flood, whereas the sculpture by Jamie Matinez portrays a much more dynamic animal.

The second featured prehistoric animal is the bizarre, horned armadillo Peltephilus.  Phil Hore acknowledges the contribution made by brothers Carlos and Florentino Ameghino.  My thanks to Chuck Egnaczak, Pedro Salas and James Dzikowski for their illustrations. A shout out to Andreas Forrer for creating a Peltephilus diorama.

Tracy L. Ford discusses another armoured prehistoric animal as he focuses on the prominent shoulder spines of stegosaurs. This is part of a four-part series examining stegosaur integument. In contrast, J. R. Lavas continues his exploration of proboscideans documenting the artwork of Zdeněk Burian.  Allen Debus returns to discuss the impact of palaeoart on speculative evolution and editor Mike Fredericks interviews model maker Hedy Ho from Beijing.  Regular contributor Randy Knol looks at some of the latest figures released by CollectA, Schleich and Eofauna.  Gregory S. Paul opines about the palaeoart of Jay Matternes and his article includes some fabulous landscapes and dioramas.

Book Reviews and Everything Dinosaur Evolution

The Mesozoic media section covers a wide range of titles. For example, the accompaniment to the recent BBC “Walking with Dinosaurs” reboot is reviewed.  In addition, “King Tyrant: A Natural History of Tyrannosaurus rex” is also discussed.  I have had the pleasure of reading this comprehensive examination of T. rex and author Dr Mark Witton has excelled himself. It really is an amazing book, and it is highly recommended.

The “What’s New” section continues the Tyrannosaurus rex theme with an exclusive look at the soon to be released Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex.  It is an honour to have our first prehistoric animal featured in search an illustrious magazine.

Fossils versus Fiction

James Russo provides a synopsis of the film “The Land that Time Forgot”, which is based on the book of the same title written by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1918).  The film premiered in late 1974 and it is fondly remembered by many dinosaur model collectors.  Despite several inaccuracies, Russo’s article is an enjoyable read and a welcome trip down memory lane.  Furthermore, it was pleasing to see Jeri Hurt’s artwork depicting a scene from another iconic dinosaur movie “Valley of the Gwangi”. Congratulations also to Charles Ferguson for the excellent Baryonyx illustration and for Tony Pichler’s herd of Bajadasaurus.

Russell J Hawley depicts the head of Torvosaurus tanneri and Sean Kotz continues the Torvosaurus motif by outlining how he painted a resin model in 1/20th scale.  In addition, Robert Telleria examines the Sega “Dinosaur Kings” model range and there is a comprehensive “Paleonews” section too.

“Prehistoric Times” magazine issue 154 is crammed full of interesting articles, illustrations and features and it was wonderful to see our Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model immortalised in print in this edition.

Issue 153 (spring, 2025) of “Prehistoric Times” magazine has arrived.  This edition is packed with lots of fascinating articles and amazing illustrations. Our congratulations to all the contributors. Gryposaurus is one of Phil Hore’s featured animals, and it is on the front cover thanks to some excellent artwork by Chuck Egnaczak. Gryposaurus (G. notabilis) was named by the Canadian palaeontologist Lawrence Lambe (1914).  Palaeontologist Jordan Mallon of the Canadian Museum of Nature discusses this hadrosaur and documents his successful fund raising to restore the grave of Lawrence Lambe.

There are lots of reader-supplied Gryposaurus illustrations.  Nick Papadimitriou included a drawing of a Gryposaurus skeleton along with a close-up view of the head in his contribution.  Tony Pichler drew a pair of adults accompanied by a juvenile.  Elvind Bovor depicted a group crossing a small stream, whilst front cover artist Chuck Egnaczak chose to illustrate two species (G. latidens and G. notabilis).

Issue 153 of “Prehistoric Times” Magazine

Tracy L. Ford continues his analysis of dinosaur skin by starting a topic concerning the integumentary coverings associated with armoured dinosaurs. In contrast, J.R. Lavas focuses upon three groups of extinct proboscideans in his long-running series documenting the artwork of Zdeněk Burian.  We learn that Hydrodamalis gigas, otherwise known as Steller’s sea cow, is related to proboscideans in the clade Tethyheria.  Phil Hore provides a history lesson documenting the exploration of Alaska and explains how within twenty-seven years of being discovered Steller’s sea cow was extinct.  The article includes some wonderful illustrations.  Congratulations to John Trotter, William Stout, Ethan Martinicky and Mark Hallett for their contributions.  The article even features an excellent sculpture by Jaime Martinez.

There are some excellent photographs of sea cow fossils illustrating the interview of Dr Jonathan Hoffman (Curator of Earth Science at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History). The interview was conducted by Krishna García-Martínez.

Comic book fans are treated to an article that discusses the work of illustrator George Wilson and Randy Knol examines sauropodomorph figures in his regular “Dinosaur Collector News” feature.  Editor Mike Fredericks discusses the new CollectA figures, we recognise the illustrations, and he also provides an update on newly published books and other media.  For example, he looks at a new boxed set containing all three “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” films.

Exploring the Burgess Shale and Accessing an Amazing Australian Fossil Collection

Issue 153 includes an interview with Luke Sparke, the director of “Primitive War”, a film adaptation of the multimedia novel series created by Ethan Pettus. How the powerful jaws of some ornithischian dinosaurs could have deterred predators is discussed and Joey Shaffar provides a guided tour of his vast collection of fossils and minerals from Australia. Sean Kotz outlines how he painted a 1:20 scale Styracosaurus and Pat Schaefer returns to discuss the last of the Marx prehistoric playsets.

Dr Andreas Forrer profiles some of the inhabitants of the famous Burgess Shale of British Columbia.  In addition, he explains the importance of the extensive Cambrian fossil collection housed at the Field Museum (Chicago).

The spring edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine is a triumph. It boasts an extensive and diverse range of fascinating articles complemented beautifully by the impressive reader art submissions

The next issue of the quarterly magazine “Prehistoric Times” will be out shortly. Our thanks to the editor for sending us an image of the front cover of the next issue (issue 153).  Hadrosaurs feature prominently in this spring edition.  Pete VonSholly and Mark Hallett have written about duck-billed dinosaurs.  Gryposaurus features and is highlighted by Phil Hore.  A member of the Hadrosauridae subfamily Saurolophinae, Gryposaurus is known from the Late Cretaceous of North America.  The dramatic front cover art is by the regular contributor Chuck Egnaczak, a highly respected palaeoartist.

Readers may recognise Chuck’s artistic style.  He has supplied many illustrations for the magazine and if I recall correctly, his spectacular close view of the head of a Suchomimus was the front cover illustration for issue 139.

The front cover of the spring edition features a pair of hadrosaurs being ambushed by a tyrannosaur.  In addition, we can expect articles from Randy Knol, Tracy Lee Ford and the continuation of the long-running series on the influential Czech artist Zdeněk Burian.

Issue 153 of “Prehistoric Times” Magazine

Inside the spring issue, subscribers will find an article by Andreas Forrer about the Burgess Shale.  The Chicago Field Museum’s extensive collection of Cambrian fossils is highlighted. Furthermore, a collector from Florida shows us some of his vast collection of fossils from Australia.  There will be lots of reader’s art on display too.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“I believe one of the creatures to be featured in this issue is Steller’s sea cow.  This huge marine mammal is believed to be extinct. It was thought to have died out in the late 1700s.  However, I am interested in finding out how the article treats supposed sightings from as recently as the 1960s.”

The artist has a unique style.  Dinosaurs are often depicted as vibrant and extremely colourful animals.  Luis Rey highlights inferred behaviours and creates dramatic dioramas.

To learn more about this beautifully illustrated book we recommend contacting Luis Rey via email at [email protected], he will be able to provide you with information about this new publication.

On the subject of innovative artwork, take a look at the second part of “Paint Strokes in Time” by Alain Omer Duranceau.  Issue 152 includes more imagined artwork if great artists of the past had an understanding of palaeontology. There is a fabulous reincarnation of Hokusai’s “The Great Wave”, complete with marine reptiles and a pterosaur.  Our personal favourite is the parody of a Turner landscape that portrays the Permian mass extinction event.

“Prehistoric Times” Magazine Winter 2025

Phil Hore discusses the British palaeontologist Francis Rex Parrington and Nyasasaurus parringtoni, perhaps one of the earliest dinosaurs known.  The article features lots of amazing reader art.  Our congratulations to all the contributors.  Particular mentions to Tim Bollinger for his scale drawing, Victoria Grabowsky, Ethan Martinicky and Sam Allred for their colourful illustrations. Moreover, we noted the Nyasasaurus drawing by eleven-year-old Ronin Johnston from Canada.

In the previous edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine John Lavas highlighted Zdeněk Burian’s art that featured early proboscideans. In the latest issue, deinotheres are to the fore in the long-running series outlining the incredible contribution to prehistoric animal illustration made by the Czech artist.

It is always a pleasure to see such fantastic and detailed studies.

In his regular column Randy Knol outlines different horned dinosaur models and their merits.  He discusses pterosaur figures and highlights the recently released CollectA Dearc model.  His section on Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon figures seems to have been cut short.  However, editor Mike Fredericks in his “What’s New in Review” examines new model introductions from CollectA and Safari Ltd.  The PNSO Lokiceratops figure gets a mention too.

Mike also looks at the latest books in his section entitled “Mesozoic Media”.  It is pleasing to see books penned by scientists based in the UK being included.  For example, “The Little Book of Dinosaurs” by Rhys Charles (School of Earth Sciences from the University of Bristol) and the latest book by Professor Paul Barrett of the London Natural History Museum.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s review of “The Little Book of Dinosaurs”: “The Little Book of Dinosaurs” is Reviewed.

Sarkastodon mongoliensis

Phil Hore tells the story of the discovery of Sarkastodon mongoliensis, a giant hypercarnivore of the Eocene. He pays tribute to the pioneers who discovered the sparse fossils that represent this enormous predator. Phil suggests that there is an opportunity for palaeontologists to undertake further research on the S. mongoliensis fossil material.  Congratulations to John Trotter, Jeri Hurt, Aaron Marsh and M. Elliot Massion for their Sarkastodon illustrations.

Tracy L. Ford examines the skin of ornithopods and there is plenty of new research and fossil discoveries to dive into in the regular “Paleonews” section. Regular contributor Sean Kotz builds an updated Concavenator and Allen A. Debus begins a new series exploring how palaeontology has been depicted in popular culture.  John M. Navroth contributes an extensive article entitled “Cavemen versus Dinosaurs”, which provides a detailed examination of the classic 1966 Hammer Film “One Million Years B. C.”.

All in all, this is another jam-packed edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine.  Highly recommended.
