RESOURCES. Over the years, we have become aware of some notable resources that educate, inspire or entertain all of us with a passion for the world of dinosaurs. Here are some of our favorites:
Periodicals
Prehistoric Times Magazine--For close to 20 years, Prehistoric Times has been a favorite magazine for dinosaur fans, paleo artistans and collectors of dinosaur-related merchandise. Be sure to subscribe directly with the magazine as subscription brokers take a chunk of a magazine's operating capital.
Rock & Gem Magazine--For rockhounds and lapidary artists, Rock & Gem Magazine is a go-to resource for everything from mineral ID to best places to go rockhounding to finding materials and equipment.
Published by accomplished vertebrate paleotologists, these important papers delve into physiology, morphology, histology and kinesiology of some of the species found at the digsite. They can be viewed or purchased through various websites.
-Kenneth Carpenter (now Director of the Prehistoric Museum in Price, Utah)--A NEW SPECIES OF CAMPTOSAURUS (ORNITHOPODA: DINOSAURIA) FROM THE MORRISON FORMATION (UPPER JURASSIC) OF DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT, UTAH (2008)
