  • A new analysis of Carnotaurus skin found details of both "feature scales" and "basement scales" around its body

  • A Triceratops prorsus horn was recently donated to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada
  • The Atlantic City Convention Center in New Jersey will have a "Dino Stroll" featuring animatronic dinosaurs
  • Phil Tippett is selling a segment of his 1984 short film Dinosaur! as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)
