How to Spec - Fun with dinosaurs

Language: English

The public image of dinosaurs is largely shaped by art. While paleontology is a dynamic and productive science, it is primarily through paleoart that our perception of prehistoric life takes form. By combining informed speculation with a deep understanding of anatomy, ecology, and geology, paleoartists continuously reimagine extinct organisms in innovative ways.


The public image of dinosaurs is largely shaped by art. While paleontology is a dynamic and productive science, it is primarily through paleoart that our perception of prehistoric life takes form. This tradition of science informed art form, rooted in a 200-year history, finds its inspiration in the fossil record and the interpretations it offers.
The gaps in our knowledge are as influential as the fossils themselves. Through informed speculation and a fundamental understanding of anatomy, ecology and geology a paleoartist is able to bring back extinct organisms in ever new ways.
