You Know You’re A Dino Nerd When…

I have been a dinosaur nerd for just about as long as I can remember. I’m pretty certain it’s not exactly what my parents had hoped for – a little girl in her best Sunday dress, up to her elbows in mud as she excavates the back yard for dinosaur bones, but it’s what they got. I have never actually considered myself a dinosaur nerd though. Sure, I’m a nerd by profession, but for me dinosaurs have always been fun, a break from reality. Yesterday however, I realized for the first time in the entire process of putting together DinoPit.com just what a dino nerd I really am.

I’ve been working with a designer to put together a pretty awesome looking infographic. Nothing you dinosaur fanatics won’t have known already but it’s cool and I paid someone to make it so you will like it whether you want to or not. Anyhoo, as I’m reviewing this infographic I look at the dino’s he used in detail. I gave him a list to go by and one by one I look down and check those dino’s off the list…and then I get to the Triceratops. Only this Triceratops isn’t a Triceratops at all, it’s an Einiosaurus. As I’m writing back to him with my requested edits it was then that it hit me – I am, in fact a complete dinosaur nerd. It’s not the fact that I knew it wasn’t a Triceratops because most people can recognize the three horned favorite anywhere. It’s more of the fact that I knew it was an Einiosaurus.

What can I say? I know my Ceratopsians!

Dromaeosaurs, from Microraptor to Utahraptor, are amongst the most iconic and fascinating families of dinosaurs. Bolstered by both Jurassic Park and endless scientific studies linking them directly to birds, it’s almost impossible to not love them.
