Everything Dinosaur team member Sue Judd has been asked to speak at an international business event organised by China Britain Business Council. The event hosted by KPMG is being held next month in Manchester. The prestigious event involving the China Britain Business Council, the UK Department for Business and Trade and the Manchester China Forum will explore opportunities for continuing UK/China commercial engagement.

Sue has been asked to speak about the prospects of developing more import and export opportunities. Her focus will be on business to consumer goods. Undoubtedly, dinosaurs will get a mention.

Improving prospects along with the recent resumption of travel to China has permitted greater commercial engagement. The event aims to explore how companies can capitalise on the opportunities presented by China’s post-pandemic reopening. Many UK businesses have found huge success in the Chinese market. However, the world-wide economic slowdown, the global pandemic, and geo-political tensions have all had an impact on the environment for international business.

China remains the UK’s third largest trading partner. Trade between the UK and China was worth approximately £111 billion in 2022. The line-up of speakers from business, academia and government will discuss the prospects for trade with China. Presenters include Andrew Seaton, Chief Executive of the China-Britain Business Council and Gillian Drakeford MBE.

Sue commented that she was looking forward to speaking at the event. Her role was to help encourage other firms to develop business relationships with Chinese companies.

Sue added:

“Hopefully I will be able to encourage other businesses to consider working with Chinese companies and entrepreneurs in China. I might also get asked questions about dinosaurs too.”

New PNSO Edward the Megalosaurus

By Mike|2024-01-02T14:58:18+00:00August 14th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

The PNSO Edward the Megalosaurus dinosaur model is coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. This recently announced figure is on the same shipment as Tristan the Gorgosaurus and Wally the Albertosaurus.

PNSO Edward the Megalosaurus

Everything Dinosaur was aware that many palaeontologists had been requesting an updated and scientifically accurate Megalosaurus. Their requests have been listened to and Edward the Megalosaurus will soon be available. It joins Connor the Torvosaurus as representatives of the Megalosauridae within the PNSO range.

Megalosaurus Model Measurements

This exciting new theropod figure measures twenty-three centimetres in length and stands approximately 7 cm high. Whilst the adult size of Megalosaurus (M. bucklandii) is not known, palaeontologists have estimated that this Jurassic predator could have reached lengths of around nine metres. Based on this size, we suggest that this is an approximate 1:40 scale replica.

Megalosaurus bucklandii

This dinosaur was formally described in 1824. It was described before the Dinosauria clade was erected. Megalosaurus was the first dinosaur to be given a scientific name, which is still valid today. The PNSO figure will be supplied with a clear, transparent support stand and an A3-sized Sci-Art Megalosaurus poster. In addition, the box contents will include a full-colour booklet.

Soft Toy Trilobite and an Anomalocaris Model

By Mike|2023-08-12T12:26:33+01:00August 12th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members were contacted by a customer who enquired about the soft toy trilobite. The customer was a fan of prehistoric invertebrates. They wanted a plush trilobite but also enquired about Palaeozoic invertebrate models. We were able to point them in the direction of the invertebrate models with the CollectA Prehistoric Life model range. The CollectA Redlichia trilobite figure had already been purchased, however, the recently introduced CollectA Anomalocaris model appealed.

A Soft Toy Trilobite and the CollectA Anomalocaris

Trilobites may not be regarded as cute and cuddly, but the soft toy trilobite has proved popular. Part of our Palaeozoic plush range, the trilobite soft toy measures twenty-one centimetres long. It is fourteen centimetres wide across the headshield (cephalon). Team members are not sure which genus the soft toy represents, it could be a representation of the genus Calymene.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The trilobite soft toy has proved to be surprisingly popular. The cute and colourful soft toy may not represent a dinosaur, but palaeontologists know just how important the Trilobita are within the fossil record. It is wonderful to be able to offer a soft toy trilobite as part of our plush range.”

The CollectA Anomalocaris figure is a 2023 introduction. It depicts a marine predator from the Late Cambrian. It is one of a series of invertebrate figures offered in the CollectA Prehistoric Life (Other Prehistoric Animal Models) series.

Common Frog Observed in the Office Pond

By Mike|2023-08-12T10:39:27+01:00August 11th, 2023|Categories: Animal News Stories, Educational Activities, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Main Page, Photos|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur observed a small Common frog in the office pond this evening. It could be from the frogspawn laid in February. This year (2023), was the first year that frogspawn had been laid in the pond during the month of February. The first batch of frogspawn was produced on February 28th.

In the late evening, a small Common frog was observed in the pond. It was much larger than the froglets that had been seen recently. It could be a frog that is at least twelve months old. Perhaps, it is a well-fed adult that metamorphosed from this year’s spawn.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

A Common Frog (Rana temporaria)

Team members have been busy helping to improve the small office pond. Native pond weed was purchased and introduced to help reduce the level of algae and to oxygenate the water. Pebbles have been added to the shallows to permit easier access for birds that want to bathe.

Two different types of pond snail (Great Ramshorn and Great Pond Snail) have been added. These snails Lymnaea stagnalis and Planorbarius corneus respectively, were removed from a local ditch that had recently been cleaned out. With little to eat in the ditch, ten Great Ramshorns were taken along with four Great Pond Snails and added to the office pond. By removing some snails from the ditch, this would help that ecosystem as well as permitting a small population of snails to assist with managing the algae in the office pond.

Invertebrate life is thriving and recently Backswimmers (Notonecta) have repopulated the pond.

All these invertebrates and the abundance of vegetation in and around the shallow pond have made an ideal habitat for frogs.

Spotting a Frog

We are not sure whether the small frog we spotted is from this year’s frogspawn. However, if the frogspawn was laid early in the season, then the frogs once they have emerged from the pond, would have a longer growing season. So, it is possible that this year’s frogs would have grown to the size of the one photographed. There is certainly plenty for the frogs to eat and lots of places for them to hide.

Team members will continue to work hard to keep the office pond healthy and its inhabitants happy.
