The Bristol Dinosaur Project

” The Bristol Dinosaur Project is enabling palaeontologists (fossil scientists) at the University of Bristol to tell people more about Bristol’s very own dinosaur which lived on tropical islands in the area 210 million years ago. The project was formed in 1999, although original findings of the dinosaur date back to 1834 and the 1970s. Over the past 12 years lots of Bristol dinosaur bones have been found from rocks taken from Tytherington Quarry, South Gloucestershire in 1975. The bones of reptiles, fish and another type of dinosaur have also been found. “

Well done Sarah Cox and all the Crew – brilliant project to have worked on – and it had a Dinosaur in it!

(I animated that Dinosaur – which I now think is well strange, as at the time I was finishing the Second Draft of my Dinosaur Book!)
