New PNSO Pachyrhinosaurus Dinosaur Model

Today, we announce another new prehistoric animal model from PNSO.  It is another
Ornithischian, but unlike the recently announced hadrosaurs (Lambeosaurus and
Corythosaurus) and armoured dinosaurs (Borealopelta and Tuojiangosaurus), this replica is a
horned dinosaur, a member of the Ceratopsia.  PNSO are going to introduce a model of a
Pachyrhinosaurus into their mid-size model range.

PNSO Brian the Pachyrhinosaurus

PNSO have named their new horned dinosaur model “Brian” and it is number 30 in the
numerical register adopted for the Chinese company’s prehistoric animal figures.  It is a
stunning replica with an amazingly detailed head.  The blue eyes are a stark contrast to the
burnished reds and oranges that make up the ornamentation on the head shield.  Perhaps we
should nickname this figure “blue-eyed Brian”.

Measuring the Model

The Pachyrhinosaurus model measures a fraction over fifteen centimetres in length. The tip
of that carefully crafted head shield is just under eight centimetres high.  Although PNSO do
not declare a scale for their mid-size series figures, based on P. canadensis (the first species
assigned to this genus), which is estimated to have been around six metres long, Everything
Dinosaur team members calculate that this new dinosaur figure is in approximately 1:40
scale.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have recently announced a number of new dinosaur and prehistoric animal models due
to come out from PNSO.  Around three weeks ago, we announced that a new replica of the
feathered dromaeosaurid Microraptor was coming into stock in November.  Subsequently,
Everything Dinosaur has announced two hadrosaurs, (Caroline the Corythosaurus and
Audrey the Lambeosaurus), along with two armoured dinosaurs (Gavin the Borealopelta and
a replica of the Chinese stegosaur Tuojiangosaurus).  We have also recently confirmed that
PNSO will be adding a replica of the bizarre marine reptile Atopodentatus to their mid-size
model range.”

Although there are further models to be introduced, Brian the Pachyrhinosaurus is the only
horned dinosaur.

The spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that a shipment of PNSO figures,
including the new Microraptor (Gaoyuan the Microraptor) was due to arrive at the company’s
warehouse in the middle of the month (November 2020).  The other new PNSO replicas will
be in stock, most likely in late December or the early part of 2021.

COVID-19 Update from Everything Dinosaur

With COVID-19 cases rising rapidly across the whole of the UK, mirroring what is being
seen in most other parts of the world, the UK Government has decided to introduce new
national restrictions that will come into force from Thursday 5th November (2020).

As Everything Dinosaur was able to keep operating its mail order business during the more
severe lockdown that occurred in the spring, we believe that the steps and measures we have
taken will permit us to continue our mail order operations.

Everything Dinosaur is Still Open  – Our Mail Order Business Continues to Operate

Contingency Plans in Place

These new measures will apply nationally for four weeks up to Wednesday 2nd December
(2020).  At the end of this period, the UK Government will look to return to a regional
approach, based on the latest data.

Team members at Everything Dinosaur will be examining the details of the new restrictions
carefully over the next few days.  However, we remain confident that due to the extensive
contingency plans we have in place, our mail order business will be able to continue and we
will be able to maintain the level of customer service and support that our many thousands of

Prehistoric Times Issue 135 Reviewed

Prehistoric Times Issue 135 Reviewed

The latest edition of “Prehistoric Times” magazine has arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s
offices.  The nights might be drawing in and we may all have a long, dark winter ahead but
this magazine is a bright spot in otherwise difficult times.  The front cover features an
amazing illustration from Mark Hallett, an American artist whose work has graced many a
front cover of this quarterly magazine.   His latest contribution features a cave bear defending
her cub from a marauding sabre-toothed cat.  The famous palaeoartist created a model of the
animal’s skeletons from which he first produced a pencil catch before finalising his artwork,
which was painted specially for “Prehistoric Times”.

Inside the magazine, readers will discover that Mark has penned two articles, a feature on
Steppe lion extinction in Europe and a beautifully illustrated piece that discusses interactions
between carnivores that shared caves during the Pleistocene Epoch.  The magazine also
includes a special feature on the Dutch artist Esther van Hulsen, illustrated with plenty of
examples of her work as a professional wildlife and palaeoartist.  Tracy Lee Ford sets out to
inspire the next generation of illustrators with a well-crafted contribution that considers how
to draw Ankylosaurus, readers can expect plenty of pointers when it comes to recreating
scutes and dermal armour.

Zdeněk Burian – Theropods Part 2

Fans of earlier palaeoartists can sink their teeth into the second part of an exploration of
theropod illustrations by John Lavas.  As well as documenting some of Burian’s famous
artworks there is a helpful introduction that outlines the main components of the Theropoda. 
It is thought that Burian was ambivalent towards illustrating tyrannosaurs.  Although much of
his theropod illustration work undertaken is now considered outdated, Burian’s work was
widely copied.

Gregory S. Paul contributes an article considering racism within palaeontology and regular
writers Randy Knol and editor Mike Fredericks look at new models and review the latest
books about prehistoric animals respectively.

Stegosaurus and Lystrosaurus

The autumn edition also includes special features on Stegosaurus and the hardy dicynodont
Lystrosaurus.  Our congratulations to Marcus Burkhardt and Elvind Bovor for their
Stegosaurus drawings and to John Sibbick and Chuck Egnaczak for their Lystrosaurus
illustrations.  The prose for both articles was penned by the ever reliable Phil Hore.

There is certainly much to be admired in this edition of “Prehistoric Times”, from the latest
news related to palaeontology to a Smilodon model build inspired by the cinema (Bruce
Horton) and an overview of the “Jurassic Park” inspired work of Ted Brothers.  This is an
excellent magazine and a welcome addition to our autumn reading material.
