Hi!!

I didn't really get any dinosaur related things..

D: oh noooo

you know what that means though - you have every right to buy them in the sales. no one is allowed to stop you

i got a couple Jurassic park shirts, and a few JW figurines.
but nothing much, which i mean i'll probably just end up
buying some more stuff later.

I got nothing, but I did buy myself a giant, semi-squishy rubber Velociraptor from Wal-mart if that counts.

One day I plan to do a Dino profile as promised haha. Life is just pretty busy! Things should be settling down a bit with the new year, so I should be able to get something up soon. Hope everyone has a happy new year!

I also stumbled upon this article: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/06/dinosaur-nodosaur-fossil-discovery/

As a Canadian, I'm pretty proud we actually have something like this. It's in immaculate condition too! I plan to take a trip to see it one day!

I got a lovely stegosaur stuffed animal from my girlfriend for my birthday which, being ten days before Christmas, feels close enough. For Christmas, my folks got me a really nice real dino footprint fossil! It's got like 7 footprints of various sizes and is really cool. I've got a fossil collection and a skull collection already so it fits in really nicely and I'm super excited about it.

Who is this girlfriend you speak of? She seems cool.

Ooh nice article that you found! It is very interesting that they found it by accident and the fossil is in good shape with preservation. It is a rare chance to find a fossil in that good of shape.

!!! i have! but like, none of them are actually dinosaurs

I have some shark teeth, ammonites, a couple trilobites and belamites and some of them! some of them i found myself! at lime regis!
we went for my 21st birthday and it was really cool and we found a cretaceous shark tooth and a bunch of belamites and ammonites and then i went back for the fossil festival and it was great and i love it and i went to lectures on evolution and on dinosaur diversity and it was great

i just have some petrified wood, and a lot of random rocks.
because i was obsessed with collecting concrete apparently.
but a piece of the petrified wood is in my boy bucky's tank.
