Rock art from the Ngamadjidj ( cave of ghosts) in the Grapians national park(Gariwerd),Victoria,Australia.The word Ghost applies to the white pigment used in the paintings not actually ghosts.This area has spiritual and physical significance for the Jardwadjali(Yard-wa-jali) and Djab Wurrung people.
-
The state of New Mexico, popular for its evacuation sites of dinosaur bones, especially of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. (my favorite dinosaur!)
-
This is a exhibition in the Denver Museum of natural history
-
Wow this one blew me away with the size of the teeth
-
Oklahoma alligator snapping turtle. They are very aggressive they can jump and if you pick them up by the shell there neck is long enough to reach around and bit your hand. Very mean turtles, but he was a very beautiful creature.
-
This is near the Red rocks amphitheater where by accident prehistoric footprints were found in the rocks this proved to be to me very interesting
-
this is another picture from a different angle
-
My most recent Bryce render. Normally my textures tend to look rather faded in Bryce, but this one came out bright and saturated. I’m really pleased.

Is this the head of a dinosaur in the water? No, actually a Mitchell’s Water Dragon (Varanus mitchelli) swims through a swollen creek near Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia just before the big flood of 2006. Featured in the group Australian Wildlife

The combination of the sun breaking through the clouds, limestone rocks and breaking waves, invokes an image of the dawn of time. Despite the long exposure flattening the waves somewhat, the breakers are still visible crashing against the rocks.

I’m posting photos of some small stones that my limited knowledge tells me are fossilized bones. I found them in a neighbor’s decorative rocks in his yard! / - Do you, or someone you know, have the expertise to tell me what I’ve got? / - I will be EXCITED to send full-size photos to anyone who is interested. / Sorry, they were found with NO context except they are here in Holland… seems like rather unusual decorative garden gravel.

Stegosaurus is a genus of stegosaurid armoured dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to Early Tithonian) in what is now western North America. In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, suggesting that they were present in Europe as well. Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus. The name Stegosaurus means “roof-lizard” and is derived from the Greek στέγος-, stegos- (“roof”) and σαῦρος, sauros (“lizard”). At least three species have been identified in the upper Morrison Formation and are known from the remains of about 80 individuals. They lived some 155 to 145 million years ago, in an environment and time dominated by the giant sauropods Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily arched back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. Its array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism, as well as having display and thermoregulatory (heat control) functions. Stegosaurus was the largest of all the stegosaurians (bigger than genera such as Kentrosaurus and Huayangosaurus) and, although roughly bus-sized, it nonetheless shared many anatomical features (including the tail spines and plates) with the other stegosaurian genera.

Triceratops is an extinct genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America. It was one of the last dinosaur genera to appear before the great Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event. Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs. Although it shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, it is unclear whether the two battled the way they are commonly depicted in movies, children’s dinosaur books and many cartoons. A complete Triceratops skeleton has yet to be found, however the animal is well-known from numerous partial remains collected since the introduction of the genus in 1887. The function of their frills and three distinctive facial horns has long inspired debate. Although traditionally viewed as defensive weapons against predators, the latest theories claim that it is more probable that these features were used in courtship and dominance displays, much like the antlers and horns of modern reindeer, mountain goats, or rhinoceros beetles. Triceratops is the best-known of the ceratopsids, though the genus’s exact placement within the group has been a point of contention amongst paleontologists. Two species, T. horridus and T. prorsus, are considered valid, although many other species have been named.

An Edmontosaurus strolls through a field of golden flowers. This dinosaur roamed North America during the Late Cretaceous and was a highly successful species. Beautiful and graceful, the Hadrosaurs represent some of the best known of the dinosaur groups. Their remains have been found with skin and muscle intact, giving us an even better understanding of what these magnificant animals must have looked like.

Apatosaurus , also formerly known as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived about 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ages). It was one of the largest land animals that ever existed, with an average length of 23 meters (75 ft) and a mass of at least 23 metric tons (25 short tons). The name Apatosaurus means ‘deceptive lizard’, so-given because the chevron bones were similar to those of a prehistoric marine lizard, Mosasaurus. The name Apatosaurus comes from the Greek ἀπατέλος or ἀπατέλιος meaning ‘deceptive’ and σαῦρος meaning ‘lizard’. The cervical vertebrae were less elongated and more heavily constructed than those of Diplodocus and the bones of the leg were much stockier (despite being longer), implying a more robust animal. The tail was held above the ground during normal locomotion. Like most sauropods, Apatosaurus had only a single large claw on each forelimb, with the first three toes on the hind limb possessing claws. Fossils of this animal have been found in Nine Mile Quarry and Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming and at sites in Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah, USA.
