Travels with Trilobites A New Book Review

By Mike|2024-03-09T17:06:48+00:00October 9th, 2022|Categories: Book Reviews, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils|1 Comment

Everything Dinosaur team members have had the opportunity to review a new book that documents the evolutionary history of the enigmatic Trilobita. Trilobites evolved during the Cambrian, they are arguably one of the most successful types of animal to have ever lived, with more than 25,000 species named and described to date. Life-long trilobite devotee Andy Secher (American Museum of Natural History, New York), has compiled a comprehensive, and beautifully illustrated book that tells their story, outlines their origins and looks at their amazing variety.

Travels with Trilobites

With forewords by Niles Eldredge, Kirk Johnson and Mark Norell, this book provides a detailed examination of the different genera of trilobites that existed in each geological period, starting with the Class’s evolutionary origins in the Early Cambrian to their eventual demise at the end of the Permian, more than 250 million years later.

Senticucullus elegans fossil. — One of the hundreds of stunning colour photographs from the book “Travels with Trilobites”, many fossils are from the author’s own collection. This beautiful fossil is an example of Senticucullus elegans from the Lower Silurian, Xiushan Formation (Hunan Province, China).

Feeding, Moulting and Reproduction

The author, who is also a co-editor of the American Museum of Natural History’s dedicated trilobite website, explores some of the world’s most famous Palaeozoic Lagerstätten including Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia, the Burgess Shale (British Columbia), the Chengjiang biota (Yunnan Province, China) and the Valongo Formation of Portugal. He documents the trilobites associated with each of these significant fossil locations and also embellishes the history of the Trilobita by including numerous “rapid reports” from other fossiliferous locations.

Travels with Trilobites examines the biology of these remarkable arthropods with the author outlining the development of trilobite eyes, how they breathed, their moulting behaviour, feeding and reproduction. There is even a small section looking at the trilobite fossils associated with the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Wren’s Nest (Dudley, Birmingham, England).

Published by Columbia University Press

Published by Columbia University Press, Travels with Trilobites is an exquisite book and we at Everything Dinosaur recommend it. This book would make an ideal gift for the amateur fossil hunter.

The last section of this enjoyable book, deals with such varied topics as how to spot fake fossils, preparing trilobite fossils, fossil shows around the world and provides an insight into the motivations of specialist trilobite fossil collectors.

Travels with Trilobites – ISBN number: 978-0-231-20096-7 (hardback book)

Total number of pages – 416

Expect to be able to pick up this superb volume for around £30.00 ($40.00 USD)

The New Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles

By Mike|2024-03-19T16:48:10+00:00October 2nd, 2022|Categories: Book Reviews, Dinosaur Fans, Main Page|0 Comments

A few days ago, we received a copy of The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles by the acclaimed illustrator and researcher Gregory S. Paul. This is an authoritative guide to marine reptiles that flourished from the Triassic through to the end of the Cretaceous.

A Comprehensive Guide to Marine Reptiles

Author Gregory S. Paul has had a distinguished career. This book is part of a series of “field guides” with previous publications covering the Dinosauria (now on a second edition) and the Pterosauria. The focus might be on the mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, placodonts and pliosaurs etc, but the book follows the same successful formula as found in the other books of this series. There is a comprehensive overview of the evolutionary history of Mesozoic sea reptiles, with detailed information on their anatomy, biology and behaviour followed by the group and species descriptions.

An illustration from the book — The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles is an authoritative and beautifully illustrated guide to marine reptiles. Informative text combined with stunning illustrations. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles

The book documents the evolutionary history of marine reptiles, covering some 185 million years. In total, over 430 different kinds of sea reptile are discussed and the author tackles questions such as how did these animals adapt to marine environments and how did they vocalise? The book is beautifully illustrated with dozens of detailed life reconstructions and skeletal drawings.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles provides a comprehensive analysis of the marine reptiles that thrived during the time of the dinosaurs. It covers their anatomy, physiology, locomotion and reproductive strategies, forming an encyclopaedic guide to these iconic prehistoric animals.”

ISBN number: 978-0-691-19380-9

New Prehistoric Times Issue 142 Reviewed

By Mike|2024-01-01T16:11:41+00:00August 6th, 2022|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Magazine Reviews, Main Page, Prehistoric Times|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members have received the latest edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine and issue 142 proves to be a jam-packed edition. Phil Hore provides details on the feathered, Chinese tyrant Yutyrannus as well as documenting the fearsome, prehistoric fish Xiphactinus and the front cover features one of a series of remarkable illustrations by the very talented Fabio Pastori.

Prehistoric Times Issue 142 — The front cover of “Prehistoric Times” issue 142 (Summer 2022). The front cover artwork was supplied by Fabio Pastori, an exquisite illustration of Velociraptor mongoliensis entitled “Mongolian Swift Seizer”. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Fabio worked with the famous American palaeontologist Jack Horner, and both were generous enough to permit examples of their collaboration to be highlighted in issue 142, the artwork is simply stunning.

Citipati Illustrated by Fabio Pastori — *A stunning image of the bizarre theropod Citipati featured in issue 142 of “Prehistoric Times” magazine. Picture credit: Fabio Pastori.*

Further artistic endeavours are highlighted, this time using a different medium as Paul McFarland demonstrates how to cast a figure of a European bison in bronze and of course, there are lots of examples of reader submitted artwork to admire too. We liked Wade Carmen’s very exotic looking Xiphactinus and the Yutyrannus themed diorama depicted by James Gurney. Naturally, Fabio Pastori couldn’t resist getting in on the action too. Take a look on page fifteen for his beautiful Yutyrannus and juvenile artwork.

Zdeněk Burian – The Early Years

John Lavas departs from cataloguing the artwork of influential Czech artist Zdeněk Burian and focuses on his early life and upbringing. The piece includes some fascinating photographs of Burian as a young man. Randy Knoll updates readers about what is new in the world of prehistoric animal model collecting and Tracy Lee Ford focuses on feathers in part four of his series on integumentary coverings.

The magazine’s editor Mike Fredericks casts his eyes over the latest book releases including “Dinosaurs: 10 Things You Should Know” by our chum and talented author Dean Lomax and the “Paleonews” section features an explanation as to why the fearsome T. rex had such small arms – an interesting new theory sent direct to the editor by palaeontologist Kevin Padian (University of Berkeley, California).

The summer issue of this quarterly magazine does not disappoint. It is highly recommended.

Over the last few weeks, team members at Everything Dinosaur have been enjoying “Palaeontology an Illustrated History” by Dr David Bainbridge. A beautifully illustrated book that examines the art and science of palaeontology from its earliest origins to the modern discipline it is today.

This skilfully crafted publication provides an insight not only into the way that the study of fossils and past life has changed, but looks in detail at how famous fossil discoveries have been interpreted and depicted. The work and illustrations of Mary Anning feature, along with reflections on the influence of such luminaries as Georges Cuvier, Charles Darwin, Jenny Clack and Roy Chapman Andrews.

The front cover of “Paleontology an Illustrated History” features a lithograph of an ichthyosaur (Temnodontosaurus platyodon) and below an illustration of “A Paris Fossil” by Cuvier. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Splendid Sketches, Engravings and Computer-generated Images

Divided into four main chapters, the author takes the reader on a journey through the history of palaeontology and the artwork associated with key fossil discoveries and ground-breaking research. David Bainbridge brings to life the people and the stories behind some of the most significant developments in the Earth sciences. Illustrations of early sketches, engravings as well as state-of-the-art computer-generated images providing a perfect accompaniment demonstrating how our views of the ancient world and the animals contained therein have changed.

The book contains hundreds of illustrations depicting how the art associated with the science of palaeontology has changed. This is an early illustration of a pterosaur. Picture credit: Edward Newman.

Palaeontology and the Artists that Illustrate Scientific Discoveries

The author, a comparative anatomist at the University of Cambridge, explains how our perceptions regarding prehistoric animals have been changed by their depiction on the big screen, perhaps most famously in King Kong (1933) and Jurassic Park, which was premiered some sixty years later. He looks at how palaeoart has developed from the early influencers such as Charles Knight through the work of Neave Parker and how modern-day palaeoartists work with researchers to produce illustrations that accompany scientific papers.
