That's awesome!

[Blossombrooks]

Here you go guys, the best pieces of my fossil collection. I'm afraid over the years I've forgotten what some are, my list wasn't in the box anymore . I inherited most of these from my Dad, he got me started on my love of dinosaurs. I used to spend hours identifying and cataloging these

[Shreddhead]

Wow! Those are some awesome fossils Blossombrooks!! I especially like the ammonite.

I went through my basement today and this is what I was able to dig up. (Excuse the pun)

Behold, the awesomeness that is DINOSAURS!!!

Or the guy could have just ripped me off and sold me a rock...







Ok, so this last one isnt so much a fossil, as its just a cool rock i found during my search. But I put "Rock" in the title of this thread so i'm gonna let it slide:


I've got way more, mostly sea creatures as far as I can tell (really just shell imprints and shark teeth) but I cant seem to locate them right now.

Here's one magazine that was totally like an encyclopedia;

"Dinosaurs! Discover The Giants of the Prehistoric World"

I recently acquired the remaining issues (100 total) that I needed to complete my collection.

And BB and Shreddhead nice fossils you two

[AT-Man]

Yes, they do rock.

[Shreddhead]

Dang, can't watch that here in the US AT-Man. But along the same lines...

Speaking of dinosaurs, did anyone go see Jurassic Park 3D? The 3D was amazing! It was the IMAX-like-one.

[Blossombrooks]

Ooh those are cool Shreddhead! That one with the plants on is amazing! A really good specimen. So is the dino bone part of the spine? Did you get any info on which dino it came from? That's an awesome piece to have.

Sadly I don't really have much info about it. Though I believe I had previously stated that I got it in Yosemite, but I actually got it in Moab, Utah. Man I WISH I knew what kind of dino it came from...

WOW! I didn't recognize the name at first, but I totally had the first 3 issues of that magazine! How could I forget those totally rad glasses??


And I had part of the Skeleton, But I think this was about as far as I got with it lol:


Man I wish I could find these agian, I would love to flip through their pages again.

[TheCanadiandrome]

they're pretty hard to find, but i've found some on ebay and a little help with google i found a site that i scored the back issues from. course they were the UK versions which are a bit larger than the NA issues

I did a quick little search myself and found a few issues on amazon. But each issue is over $5, and I just cant justify spending that on old magazines right now (as pathetic as that sounds). Thanks for the tip, and Ill gladly settle for a larger version if thats what I find later.


On an unrelated note, did anyone else have these bedsheets growing up?


I remember seeing Fred Savage using them in the "Dinosaurs" vhs I linked a video to above and thinking I was soooo cool
Then years later I was watching Seinfeld and low and behold George Costanza was using the same sheets!

Whoa! So there where 4 dinos. I thought the later issue was just for trading cards. Do they sell the rest of the Teradactyl parts you need?

[Shreddhead]

So I've got a question for you guys. Do you have any recommendations for informative dinosaur books with good illustrations? I used to have a couple years ago, specifically one with Giganotosaurus on the cover (a very foreshortened image with its head in the foreground). But I have sadly lost these books over the years due to garage sales and/or just sloppy bookkeeping. I'd appreciate any recommendations, and I'd be truly grateful if anyone can help me re-discover the title of my lost Giganotosaurus book.

Nah sadly I couldn't get the rest of te Teradactyl parts from where I purchased the remaining issues I needed, they weren't offering the skeletons. Perhaps maybe eBay one day. And I actually have all the trading cards! They're cool.


And Shreddhead I love those Dino bead sheets!

Quick edit: this is the site I purchased my last copies of the Dinosaurs magazine:
