Spinosaurus the Largest Carnivore? I did some research on Wikipedia. There are a number of more recent studies that suggest calculations of Spinosaurus size were over estimates. There are only fragmentary remains of this Dinosaur. As more discoveries are made the gaps that have been estimated are revised. Current belief based on 2018 studies is…

Another Great “Family Story Time”!
The City of Camarillo Library provided the venue for other Wonderful Dinosaur Fun Facts & Fiction Event. This was Max’s first time at “Family Story Time”. Parents & Kids learned about the PaulsPrehistoricPark.com and the actual Park. I read the newest version of “Is a Metal Dinosaur the Right Pet for You? I expanded it…
Finishing the Raptors & More Fun Facts
Now it’s time for the final color additions to these Raptors before clear coating. The Mouth and Claws were masked around using blue tape and left-over plastic bags (always repurpose & recycle). I start with an edging of blue tape to outline the details I wish to paint. Then using more tape to attach the…
Raptors, Feathers & Color
We left off with these Raptors in a beautiful Gold & Grey-Green color after rinsing the Acid Wash and allowing time to completely dry. As I mentioned last week, I like this look and will incorporate it as a final finish for the body color with a couple of future Raptors to join the Park. …
Raptors & Antarctic Dinosaurs
It’s time to paint the newest additions to the Park. The two little Raptors and “Spike” the Spinosaurus. We’ll discuss “Spike’s” makeover separately, but you may see him in the background in some of the pictures. Also, Teresa is not finished getting additional Splashes of Color. The weather has been off and on rainy lately. …

Raptor Cupids?
What does Valentine’s Day mean to You? Valentine’s Day is celebrated with Flowers, Candy, Cards, Romantic Dinners and sometimes marriage proposals. When I was in Elementary School, we exchanged Valentine’s Day Cards with friends and those that we hoped would become special friends. At the Park the Dinosaurs & other Prehistoric Pals have been busy…
Mining for Dinosaurs!
As I mentioned in my last post, the Miner’s Hardware Stores had a 20% Off Sale last Weekend. The Atascadero Store had a Spinosaurus that I just had to Adopt. Since I had to Rent a Cargo Van to pick him up, I decided to make stops at all the stores that currently had Metal…
Teresa’s Head Frill
The Ceratopsian Family is Notorious for Wild Head Frills. Teresa’s will be no exception with some Great Color additions. Male Dinosaurs like Birds are suspected of having more “Brilliant Colors” than the Females. However, at the Park All Prehistoric Pals are “Brilliant”! I started with masking two oval shapes on each side on the front…
Dinosaurs at School
Getting back to the beginning of Dinosaurs in the Late Triassic. Eoraptor, Herrerasaurus and Tawa Hallae are among the earliest known Dinosaurs. Which reminds me, I need to follow-up with Nate Smith, Associate Curator of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of LA. During my visit in April of 2017, I was able…
