Dinosaur Evolution
Paleontologists are rewriting the rules of animal classification. The traditional system introduced by Carl Linnaeus has been largely discarded in favor of the cladistic system that shows how species evolved over millions of years. Our Dinosaur Cladogram visually portrays the evolution of the most well-known species. Over 50 representational species are shown; each has a caption citing species, where they have been found, when it lived and its size. Informative captions explain the changes.

Avian Raptors
Modern day birds are the only living descendents of the dinosaurs, and they descend from the raptors. In this poster we explore the modern day raptors - the birds of prey. The poster provides a comprehensive overview of the hunters and the scavengers. There are sections on the falcons, hawks, eagles, harriers, Osprey, Secretary Bird, owls, vultures and buzzard.

Tyrannosaurs
The central design shows all members of the Tyrannosaur family, in scale to each other. They are arranged chronologically, left to right, by the time they first appear in the fossil record. The insets cover many important topics. The two at the top explain the distinctive anatomical characteristics and show the important ancestors. The captions cite species, pronunciation, size, when lived where fossils have been found and important milestones in evolutionary development. Those at the bottom cover new discoveries, such as the recently unearthed feathered tyrannosaurs and the results of the amazing growth studies recently announced by the Field Museum. Behavior discusses family relationship and the controversial question as the T. rex being a hunter or a scavenger. The last one lists all North American museums where T. rex skeletons are on display. n found will be shown on a matched set of maps - one showing the position of the continents at the time and the other where they are today

Wierd Dinosaurs
These are some really strange critters. Although well documented, most are rarely mentioned in popular literature. Cryolophosaurus ellioti is a good example. It had a bizarre crest running across its head. Due to its resemblance to Elvis Presley’s 1950’s pompadour hairstyle, it was nicknamed the "Elvisaurus." The paleontologist who described the ugly Majungatholus atopus, said, "It’s the kind of face that only a mother could love." The weird Masiakasaurus knofleri had forward-facing teeth, jutting out from its lower jaw; it really needed a good orthodontist. Stygimoloch spinifer sported bony spikes on its head. Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus had a horn protruding from its forehead, resulting in it being called, "the Unicorn Dinosaur." Plus there are nine more bizarre creatures.
The Weird Dinosaurs have been magnificently illustrated by a leading paleontology artist to ensure anatomical accuracy. Fact-filled captions provide essential data and a description of the unique distinguishing characteristics. This poster includes exciting new discoveries, largely unknown to the general public.

Mammals
This is a very attractive poster that will be cherished by animal lovers, but it’s also an extremely useful educational tool, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the subject. It is divided into three sections, one for each type of mammal: the egg-laying monotremes, the pouched marsupials and the familiar placental mammals. The latter is divided into 19 sub-sections, one for each order. Each is first identified by its common name or most well known species, followed by the scientific name of the order. For example, Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises are members of the Cetaceans Order. Superb, highly detailed illustrations show 98 representative animals - everything from the aardvark to the zebra. Common and scientific name are cited.
This poster is an excellent way to introduce young children to a great many animals, but the outstanding organization and presentation made it an invaluable reference for college students and professionals involved in zoology, comparative anatomy and taxonomy, the naming and classification of life forms.
