Alternative Timeline Dinosaurs at TetZoo, a multi-part project (Patreon)

Hi there - I hope you're doing well. Thanks and always for supporting me. Time right now continues to be tight when it comes to my ability to generate new content: it's now an embarrassing number of months since I've done anything for The Big Book, for example. I have, however, been piecing together a multi-part TetZoo series on alternative timeline dinosaurs, and I aim to be done with it over the next week or two. This all started both because I realised that the time is right for another review of this subject AND because I recently took part in a BBC World Service interview on the same subject. The relevant show is due to be released on December 6th - I'll provide a link when it's out. 

On the articles, the first part is already online:  http://tetzoo.com/blog/2019/11/23/alternative-timeline-dinosaurs-the-view-from-2019-part-1 It's proved really popular (creating a massive spike on the visitor graph), so far resulting in the appearance of over 50 comments (which is great). The montage shown at top was created for this article. Here I want to give you a sneak-peek of other stuff that'll appear in the second and third parts of the series.

We'll start with this. It isn't mine, but is by James Gilleard and featured in a magazine article by John Pickrell, as did numerous other alt-timeline dinosaurs. It's some sort of climbing maniraptoran.

The second and third articles deal a fair bit with intelligence and hypothetical big-brained dinosaurs. I've written about Dale Russell's dinosauroid a few times before, but now is a good time to revisit it, especially given that interest is at an all-time high as goes the (in-part aborted) backstory of its creation. Jordan Mallon and a few other Canadian palaeontologists have occasionally shared unpublished photos of the models and painting that Ely Kish did of the dinosauroid: here's one of them...

There's a lot more I want to say but I'm out of time. The next articles will appear soon, I'll announce their publication when I'm good to go. I was planning to share the full text here but it's not in a complete-enough state to allow that. I despair over lack of time, I really do.

Thanks as always for your patronage. More soon.
