A pretty fun set. The Tyrannosaurus rex doesn't have forward-facing eyes, and his tail is a little stumpy, but he's nice and durable, and has articulated hips, shoulders, neck, and jaws. The two little dromaeosaurs have articulated necks and hips, and are really quite adorable. There's also a large hollow tree, a swamp baseplate, a snake, a lizard, assorted plants, and a Triceratops skull.

This photo was found in a box full of my Mother's photos that she took while traveling abroad with my Pop when she was in her early 20s. I found it while trying to organise her photo albums. She has double prints of this entire roll of film but has no idea who this man is and doesnt remember taking the photo. Her theory is that he is a train conductor that was on one of their trains while traveling around London. I love his expression and the fact that without context or indentification the image becomes very mysterious.
The flare on the right hand side is on the photo, and makes me think that perhaps she took this while winding the new roll onto her camera. I love the curved corners of this photo. I keep it tacked to the side of my computer and look at it regularly.
Circa 1988.

Hi! I'm new here and I have two questions.

First is, does anyone know of a website or actual physical book that I could use as a basis to do some recreational dinosaur research? Kind of like a workbook that kids get in school, only geared towards adults. I found an online quiz that I was using for some questions. I'd read the question, and then study my dino encyclopedias for the dinosaurs listed in the multiple choice answers. Once I had an answer to the question, obviously I selected the correct dinosaur.

That was fun while it lasted, but I've finished it now, and I cant find any others worth my time. Most quizzes I've found are aimed at young people. That, and I would love to have a workbook that would allow me to go snuggle up in bed with my books, rather than sit at a computer all night. Anywho...

Second question is, do you think there would be much interest in a dinosaur shop full of hand made bits and bobs? EVERYTHING would be tastefully dinosaur themed. Anybody can sell a stuffed T-Rex made for babies but when it comes to adults with a love for prehistoric creatures there isn't much selection. I was thinking of making bags, coin pouches, jewelry, teeshirts, perhaps a decorated pair of shoes or two, accessories, soaps, stationary...All kinds of stuff. Thing is though, I have no idea if something like that would really take root, yanno? So I thought I'd ask the community.

Thanks for your time everyone.
