No new Jurassic World movie announcements this Jurassic June, but why not pick up a copy of @deanrlomax.bsky.social’s book, The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs, and listen to our See Jurassic Right episode! What dinosaurs or ancient megafauna do you want to see on the big screen? youtu.be/9KS25EyPBzs?...

An excellent time in Lyme Regis for the #FossilFestival Brilliant @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social talk and book signing. Paid my respects to Mary, found some cool fossilised wood, visited Dinosaurland fossil museum, and finally got my hands on a Scelidosaurus model.

A warning: with The Story of Birds coming soon, I'm going to be very annoying with constant PR & marketing posts. Even more annoying than usual. In an effort to blunt the narcissism, here are some books from other writers (yes they exist) that I've greatly enjoyed recently!
