Alternatively, what about sinking Thanatosdrakon into Quetzalcoatlus?

Hmmm, I don’t think so, unless you had a weird brand.

Cinnamon just rebranded as “pumpkin spice”.

Damn, I misremembered it as Pete, too. It just feels like something people would say to Pete. A lot.

Yes. Meanwhile nobody bats an eye about how many species of Psittacosaurus there are.

Oh wow, I forgot about that. Deep childhood memory dredged up.

One more time. These tyrannosaurs are SMALL. Those tyrannosaurs are FAR AWAY.
SMALL. FAR AWAY.

Ah forget it.

You should at least try The Gods Themselves. Or the middle part of it, anyway.

THE INNOCENTS is a wonderful old film based more closely (I think) on “The Turn of the Screw”. Highly recommend that as a companion watch—it holds up.

Yes, to this day it is the most complete specimen. It is also the first described specimen with a skull.

I’ve never been to Lyme Regis, either, but I’m in the U.S. I have been to some cool sites here and even worked as a paleo technician once.

Correct! (The Berlin one, not the first one described.)

Aheh. Archaeo-pteryx, the ancient feather (or wing, same word in Ancient Greek).

But which one?
October 22, 2025 at 3:53 AM
Hehe, given its provenance it would have to be Josch.
October 22, 2025 at 3:51 AM
Nope, the first one was, in fact, just a feather. And it’s not the first body fossil discovered, either (the London specimen).
