200 Dinosaurs!

Saturday May 10, 2008

I'm proud to say that--as of 5:35 eastern time on Saturday, May 10, 2008--I've posted exactly 200 profiles of individual dinosaurs on this site, which you can find by clicking on the "Dinosaurs A to Z" link on the home page. (Well, technically they're not all dinosaurs--some of them are avian and aquatic reptiles, or reptiles that preceded the dinosaurs--but you get the general idea.) Each profile includes basic information--size and weight, habitat and diet, what the name means, etc.--and I've appended at least one (and sometimes two or three) paragraphs of explanation and subtext.

Am I done? Not by a long shot! There's probably two hundred or more dinosaurs and reptiles to go, and countless other creatures that preceded, followed, or were contemporaneous with dinosaurs. So keep on checking the list--I'll keep adding profiles as long as paleontologists keep digging up and naming fossils.
