Pictures of the animatronic dinosaurs at the New York State Fair expo building. Parents with their kids running around having a ball. A lot of dinosaur activity with moving heads, necks, tails and wings, mouths that open and close, blinking eyes and sounds that mimic breathing movements.
Inspired by the official set 21110 (Research institute) I created my own version of a dino skeleton. T-Rex, velociraptor, ... I don't know - it's your choice! :-)
The monkeys didn’t see any dinosaurs but did see lots of sea lions, pelicans, cormorants, some sea otters and an osprey.
Dinosaur National Monument is a United States National Monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry is located in Utah just to the north of the town of Jensen, Utah.
The nearest communities are Jensen, Utah, and Dinosaur, Colorado. The park contains over 800 paleontological sites and has fossils of dinosaurs including Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Abydosaurus (a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and first four neck vertebrae of the specimen DINO 16488 found here at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation is the holotype for the description) and various long-neck, long-tail sauropods. It was declared a National Monument on October 4, 1915. In April 2019, the International Dark-Sky Association designated Dinosaur National Monument an International Dark Sky Park.
The rock layer enclosing the fossils is a sandstone and conglomerate bed of alluvial or river bed origin known as the Morrison Formation from the Jurassic Period some 150 million years old. The dinosaurs and other ancient animals were carried by the river system which eventually entombed their remains in Utah. The pile of sediments were later buried and lithified into solid rock. The layers of rock were later uplifted and tilted to their present angle by the mountain building forces that formed the Uintas during the Laramide orogeny. The relentless forces of erosion exposed the layers at the surface to be found by paleontologists.
The dinosaur fossil beds (bone beds) were discovered in 1909 by Earl Douglass, a paleontologist working and collecting for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He and his crews excavated thousands of fossils and shipped them back to the museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for study and display. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the dinosaur beds as Dinosaur National Monument in 1915. The monument boundaries were expanded in 1938 from the original 80-acre (320,000 m2) tract surrounding the dinosaur quarry in Utah, to its present extent of over 200,000 acres (800 km²) in Utah and Colorado, encompassing the spectacular river canyons of the Green and Yampa.
The plans made by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on a ten-dam, billion dollar Colorado River Storage Project began to arouse opposition in the early 1950s when it was announced that one of the proposed dams would be at Echo Park, in the middle of Dinosaur National Monument. The controversy assumed major proportions, dominating conservation politics for years. David Brower, executive director of the Sierra Club, and Howard Zahniser of The Wilderness Society led an unprecedented nationwide campaign to preserve the free-flowing rivers and scenic canyons of the Green and Yampa Rivers. They argued that if a national monument was not safe from development, how could any wildland be kept intact? On the other side of the argument were powerful members of Congress from western states, who were committed to the project in order to secure water rights, obtain cheap hydroelectric power and develop reservoirs as tourist destinations. After much debate, Congress settled on a compromise that eliminated Echo Park Dam and authorized the rest of the project. The Colorado River Storage Project Act became law on April 11, 1956. It stated, "that no dam or reservoir constructed under the authorization of the Act shall be within any National Park or Monument." Historians view the Echo Park Dam controversy as signaling the start of an era that includes major conservationist political successes such as the Wilderness Act and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.

#inktober Day 6
I went to the dentist a couple months ago for my annual checkup and tooth cleaning. Everything was A-okay. On my way out, there was basket of small, colorful plastic dinosaurs on a low shelf. I just had to have this orange one. Everyone deserves a reward when visiting the dentist, I figured. October 6, 2109
With hundreds of life-sized dinosaurs, Dinosaur World in Cave City, KY is an excellent "vintage" vacation attraction. They are also dog friendly.

Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller is one of the largest palaeontological museums in the world. It lays out the story of the evolution of the earth and the golden age of the dinosaurs in an exciting and educational format.
My son's recent interest in dinosaurs led me to revisit some of Kawahata's early dinosaur designs. In particular, his base for a number of dinosaurs that starts with a double kite base, seemed to have a lot of potential. (Montroll also used this base in Prehistoric Origami.)
Starting from that base, I came up with this series of dinosaurs. Each one is folded from the same sized sheet of paper. One major departure from the original base is the closed-back and locked belly design.
