From Jurassic Park to Real Life: Palaeontology Connections

Venture into the Lost World…One Minute at a Time

Your source for prehistoric knowledge!

A warm welcome to The Palaeo Minute!

From Fiction to Fossils: Mentorship in Motion: In this edition I reflect on the mentors, collaborators, and unexpected sources of inspiration that have shaped my path in palaeontology from research supervisors to consultants and creators behind the Jurassic Park films. Their guidance and creativity have played a defining role in my journey through both science and storytelling.

This edition explores:

  • Jurassic Park’s Enduring Impact on Palaeontology: My encounters with Jurassic Park & Jurassic World cast & crew.
  • From Fiction to Fossils: How Jurassic World’s scientific evolution has shaped public understanding of palaeontology.

Lambeosaurus lambei was a large hadrosaurid, a lambeosaurine duck-billed dinosaur part of the same group of hadrosaurs Parasaurolophus belongs to. Lambeosaurus was a herbivore and capable of moving both bipedally and quadrupedally. The Jurassic Coast Growing a science communication platform from a humble blog into a globally viewed website with more than 90,000 visitors is no small feat. It requires relentless writing, editing, formatting, and revising, along with the invisible work that shapes the reader experience: buttons, layouts, internal links, image placement, and overall design.
