I believe I have this beaten for nerdiness, though: a couple of years ago, my wife made me a BMNH R5937:D9 cake (i.e. the more posterior of the pair of nicely preserved dorsal vertebrae of The Archbishop). Tragically, I can’t find the photo that I know was taken, so I can’t respond with an immediate SV-POW! as I’d wanted to.
Hi, My name is Adam Yates. I'm an Australian palaeontologist living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa. I'm one of the lucky few who were able to turn a boyhood passion for dinosaurs into a career.
Catalogue of Organisms
The name says it all – a fantastic read for any natural historian
Chinleana
Everything Triassic and more – plus one of the best palaeo blogrolls around
Dave Hone's Archosaur Musings
An inside look at palaeontology from a postdoc who has worked from Germany to China to Ireland. Lots of dinosaurs and pterosaurs
Jurassic Journeys
My close colleague and friend’s blog – featuring some of the work we’ve done together
That’s really cool. Love the skeletal elements inside the outline!
I hope this is a return to Dracovenator posting too.
Truly beautiful.

Please pst it as soon as you do find it, I want to see!
