Dinopedia

For a group of animals that died out 65.5 million years ago, dinosaurs (well: non-bird dinosaurs . . . read on) have a remarkable grip on our imagination. And despite claims that things have waxed and waned with the popularity of certain movie franchises or TV shows, my strong impression as someone with a long-term involvement in dinosaur-themed books, exhibits, popular writing, and scientific research is that this interest is a permanent and steady fixture, and it isn’t going away.
