Compiling Questions About Dinosaurs for a Researcher

By |2024-01-02T14:10:34+00:00February 25th, 2023|Categories: Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur team members have been asked to compile a short list of questions about dinosaurs by a researcher for a UK national radio programme. The researcher read the recent Everything Dinosaur blog article about the discovery of a large, tridactyl dinosaur footprint in Yorkshire and contacted the company with the request.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s recent blog post about the Yorkshire dinosaur footprint: Yorkshire Dinosaur Makes Its Mark.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are delighted to help out and devise some dinosaur themed questions. Usually we are the ones being asked questions about prehistoric animals, by dinosaur fans of all ages. It makes a nice change to turn the tables.”

Questions About Dinosaurs

As requested by the radio station researcher, we have compiled a list of questions on dinosaurs.

  • The word “dinosaur” or to be technically correct the “Dinosauria” was first coined by a British scientist in the early 1840s – who was it?
  • What does the term dinosaur actually mean?
  • Tyrannosaurus rex is perhaps the most famous dinosaur of all, in what year was T. rex formally, scientifically described?
  • Dinosaur fossils are found in rock formations that were laid down during three geological time periods – one of these periods is called the Jurassic – hence the movie “Jurassic Park” but what are the names of the other two geological periods associated with the dinosaurs?
  • What was the name of the first dinosaur to be scientifically described?
  • The world’s first life-size dinosaur models are still in existence, but where in the world would you have to travel to if you wanted to see them?

The answers and accompanying notes will be prepared and made available to the researcher.

Hadrosaurus foulkii

As Everything Dinosaur prepares for the arrival of the first of the new for 2023 CollectA prehistoric animal figures we have been commissioning scale drawings of the models to incorporate into our free fact sheets. Fact sheets featuring Ceratosuchops, Anomalocaris, Ruyangosaurus and Shastasaurus are also being prepared.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that they hoped to have most of these fact sheets finished in the first week of March. The Hadrosaurus foulkii data sheet is currently being finalised.

The new for 2022 CollectA Age of Dinosaurs Hadrosaurus dinosaur model.

Hadrosaurus Scale Drawing

The Hadrosaurus scale drawing will provide a visual guide to fact sheet readers as to the size of this herbivorous dinosaur. The fact sheet will explain about this dinosaur’s discovery and its importance in palaeontology. Hadrosaurus was the first dinosaur to be scientifically described from fossils found in North America. It was the first duck-billed dinosaur named and when an exhibition of its fossils was opened at the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences in 1868, it became the first mounted dinosaur skeleton to be erected in the USA.

Our thanks to prehistoric animal collector Maurizio who sent into Everything Dinosaur some pictures of his latest acquisitions. He has combined the Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex carcase in the jungle colour scheme with the original Nanmu Studio Spinosaurus Supplanter to recreate an iconic scene from a famous dinosaur movie. In Jurassic Park III (2001), a huge Spinosaurus gets the better of a Tyrannosaurus rex in a fight. Maurizio has created his own homage to the T. rex and Spinosaurus fight from the Jurassic Park franchise.

Commenting on his composition, the collector stated:

“I received my latest order from Everything Dinosaur that included the Rebor green dead T. rex, and I thought I would share with you some photographs. Surprisingly, the 1:35 scale Rebor tyrannosaur scales perfectly with Nanmu Studio Jurassic Series first Spinosaurus model. The Tyrannosaurus rex figure can even be displayed under the foot of the Spinosaurus replica.”

The PNSO Giganotosaurus dinosaur model is due to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur later in the spring (2023).

Lucas the Giganotosaurus

Team members at Everything Dinosaur think that this new figure will replace the original Lucas the Giganotosaurus model. Both replicas have the same declared scale, but the new figure looks to be a different sculpt and it is supplied without a display base.

Everything Dinosaur can confirm that the new Giganotosaurus dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw.

Attaching the Tail Piece

Some model assembly is required. The tail piece has to be inserted into the crocodilian body, but team members at Everything Dinosaur found this task quite easy, and the tail piece was able to be slotted home without any problems.

The Deinosuchus replicas have articulated jaws, flexible tail tips that permit the tail to be posed to some extent and each figure comes with an Appalachiosaurus carcase accessory. The Appalachiosaurus carcase model can be seen in the image (above), it is located just above the snout of the Deinosuchus.

Rebor Adult Deinosuchus Models

Prehistoric crocodile models are popular with collectors and Everything Dinosaur team members have spent a large part of Friday and this weekend (February 2023), contacting all those Rebor model fans who wanted to know when the pair of Deinosuchus figures were in stock.

Rebor Adult Deinosuchus Swamp Colour Variant

The Rebor adult Deinosuchus swamp colour variant has more green blended into the model, whereas the estuary figure has more grey. Both figures are beautifully painted and extremely detailed. Each figure has been applied with gloss to give the model a wet and shiny appearance, as if this giant crocodilian has just left the water.

Smilodon populator

Smilodon populator is the largest species described to date within the Smilodon genus. Fossils indicate that S. populator had a shoulder height of around 1.2 metres. The design team at CollectA have given their jungle colour variant a declared scale of 1:11.

The model is supplied with two interchangeable heads. This permits model collectors to display their Smilodon with its mouth closed, or with its mouth open.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented, that team members had been busy contacting customers who had wanted to be notified when this prehistoric mammal model arrived.

The spokesperson added:

“The Rebor Smilodon populator jungle colour variant has a coat similar to that of an extant jaguar or leopard. Whilst the coat of Smilodon populator is unknown, the patterns on the coat would have helped to camouflage this large animal and to break-up its outline as it stalked prey.”

Team members at Everything Dinosaur have prepared a Gallimimus scale drawing as they await the arrival of new for 2023 Schleich dinosaur figures. Five new dinosaur models are expected, namely, Tarbosaurus, Monolophosaurus, Edmontosaurus, the armoured dinosaur Gastonia and the ornithomimid Gallimimus.

Schleich Dinosaur Models

A spokesperson for Everything Dinosaur explained that these new for 2023 Schleich dinosaur models were due to arrive at the company’s warehouse shortly. Everything Dinosaur already has fact sheets for the Tarbosaurus, Monolophosaurus, Edmontosaurus and Gastonia figures.

Gallimimus Scale Drawing

The scale drawing will provide a visual representation of the size of Gallimimus (G. bullatus). It is known from several complete skeletons and skulls representing juveniles to fully-grown adults. The fleet-footed dinosaur (although with shorter hind legs, it was probably not as swift a runner as smaller ornithomimids such as Struthiomimus or Sinornithomimus), will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few days.

Gallimimus is estimated to have measured up to six metres long, it stood two metres tall at the hip and palaeontologists estimate that it weighed around 450 kilograms.
