Teeth

Coming back to where we started, here we have another view of daspletosaurus, a predecessor to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.


Across from it is a reconstruction of the skull of a newly discovered species, spiclypeus shipporum.


This one bears the nickname Judith, for where it was found, near the Judith River in Montana. The artist's rendition does make for a photogenic dinosaur.


One last look at the daspletosaurus. My, what big teeth you have.


Out in the Queens Lantern, I took more shots of the Moon.

  1. Judith was here ... and how big she was!
    I keep wondering ... why the moon has so many craters?

  4. @Cloudia: it is quite a sight

    @Italiafinlandia: indeed.

    @Ella: lots of asteroid collisions and no atmosphere to soften them.

    @Iris: one often forgets he's a scientist as well as a rocker.

    @David: possibly.

  7. I have noticed that the surface of Mars looks similar to the moon but with a pinkish cast.

  10. Very cool! I presume you saw the photos and video from Mars! Very interesting.
    Do you remember all you've learned about the dinosaurs? Our kids, then grandies, went through that phase. I've forgotten them, though, for the most part.

  11. Big scary monsters all, and it's amazing that little kids like them so much. I guess they figure, being a bit scared of the whole big world, that if these monsters get into museums, they must be manageable somehow!

  12. The artist's impression of Judith is quite extraordinair William. So much easier to take pics of the moon at close range 😉

  16. Reminds me of something Frederick Lawrence Knowles once wrote: "The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand."

  18. @Marie: they are.

    @Magiceye: t-rex fascinates.

    @Janey: that is true.

    @Tom: not ones like dasplestosaurus.

    @Carol: thank you!

    @Jennifer: yes, I've seen the Mars shots. And I remember a lot about dinosaurs. Never really outgrew that phase.

    @Barbara: that could well be the case.

    @Grace: that it is.

    @Sharon: definitely.

    @RedPat: I've enjoyed showing it.

    @Bill: that they were.

    @Revrunner: quite fitting.

    @Marleen: and fascinating.
