Pop Paleo

Where paleontology and pop culture meet. Ephemera from the world of dinosaurs, mammoths, and their friends. Also, retweets of dynamite paleoart.

I'm not on here much, so this has probably already made the rounds, but this is a pretty fantastic short film. Sort of a what if Disney's "Rite of Spring" was done during the 1800s. Great stuff!

I never knew I needed a Sacabambaspis t-shirt.

When will this be admitted as an Olympic event?

[Laurence Brown @LostInThePondUS]

Good afternoon.

The word 'velociraptor' turns 100 this year.

Goodnight.

@Himmapaan @JoschuaKnuppe This is the kind of stuff (even if in parody) that has kept me off of twitter lately.

Ya tengo "#Dinosaurios y otros animales”, lo nuevo de José Luis Sanz publicado en @Ed_Critica con un montón de historias sobre el impacto que la #paleontología ha tenido en medios de comunicación, #libros, #periódicos, #cómics o #cine. Imprescindible:

@Bhmllr I'm tempted, but I also don't know if I have the wherewithal to start again. I almost want to just step away & be less on the internet.

The mere fact that I am seeing this tweet weeks after you posted it shows how little I am surfing anymore. Can't we all just go back to blogs?

This sleeping dino is legitimately so adorable

It's been that kind of a week.

I found it. "A Dozen Dinosaurs" by Richard Armour.

[Pop Paleo @paleo_pop]

Help me, Paleotwitter, you're my only hope. I recall a dinosaur book from my childhood school library & I was hoping to revisit it. Problem is, I can't remember enough details to find it—but maybe you know it. It was written in rhyme, with each poem focusing on a different dino.

[Pop Paleo @paleo_pop]

It was portrait style, on A3/8.5x11-ish sized paper. Not sure if every page was in color or if it was every other page of color. This book would have been from the late 20th century, I'm guessing sometime between 1965 & 1975. The Brontosaurus poem ends with it submerging—I think.

@Sophiesaurus98 @DuranGarand Kinda curious how Chasmosaurus got a lot of the hot-blooded treatment back in the day.

@critter_jim @TetZoo I sometimes wonder why he's maintained his stance for so long. It must be a brand thing. He makes money promoting this theory, so he must maintain it.
