In this video we’ll travel back to the world of the early Jurassic and take a modern look at it’s most iconic dinosaur: Dilophosaurus. By studying the latest specimens, fascinating fossils from the world Dilophosaurus lived and evolved in, and modern biology, paleontologists are just now starting to get a clearer picture of this important period in dinosaur evolution and the history of our planet.

This video is the culmination of about 5 years of communication and collaboration with Dr. Adam Marsh (@NotThatMarsh) who has been studying #Dilophosaurus for the past 6 years, and who recently published a comprehensive description & analysis of this important dinosaur.

Over the last several years I have had the good fortune to be able to create numerous pieces of art centered around Dilophosaurus and the world it evolved in thanks to the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site and The Las Vegas Natural History Museum which have commissioned me to create numerous pieces of art depicting life in the early Jurassic.

This video also features art commissioned by paleontologist ReBecca Hunt-Foster through funding from Utah BLM / Utah Friends of Paleontology. The scene depicting an early Jurassic tracksite was created for an interpretive panel now at the Poison Spider Dinosaur Tracksite near Moab Utah. You can explore this fascinating early Jurassic tracksite (for free) on your public lands near Moab Utah. More information here:
