Describing pterosaur specimens in the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh Additional details on this specimen of the 'four winged' dinosaur Microroaptor are visible under UV light (from Hone et al., 2010) This is officially listed as the 'most magical bone in China'. So there Cleaning up the bones of a dinosaur after damage when on display. With the African stegosaur Kentrosaurus on display in Berlin There are over 3000 Shantungosaurus bones in this huge quarry Lower leg and foot of the rhynchosaur Fodonyx from the World Heritage 'Jurassic Coast' (it is actually Triassic in age) of southern England Dinosaur eggs in the ceiling of tunnels in Xixia, China Despite the breaks, this is a near perfectly pristine pterosaur wing bone With sauropod limbs from Tanzania in the 'big bone room' in the basement in Berlin Baryonychine tooth from China, the most recent representative of the group (Hone et al., 2010) The results of weeks of work, fossils in protective plaster to go back to the lab Cleaning up details on these theropod vertebrae from Mongolia while in Japan Digging up Zhanghenglongin Henan, China With Tyrannosaurus in Tokyo Line drawing of the skull of the rhynchosaur Bentonyx (Hone & Benton 2008) With a group of students at an outreach event at the Horniman Museum in Londond Holotype specimen of Bellubrunnus Tyrannosaur tooth found in the badlands of Alberta Prospecting for Lower Cretaceous dinosaurs in Inner Mongolia, China Checking out some Mongolian fossils with my PhD student Life reconstruction of Zhanghenglong by Fang Mei (used with permission) Working on the description of Bellubrunnus in the offices in Solnhofen, Germany The rewards of fieldwork are not just from finding fossils With a specimen of Archaeopteryx in Bavaria Sometimes bones are too far gone to be collected With the tyrannosaur I found in western China
