Tonight is the premier of Jurassic Fight Club, a new program to the History Channel depicting the violent battles that the dinosaurs faced on daily basis. Several top paleontologists were consultants for this program to provide current information to give audiences a realistic prehistoric battle ground. The show premieres at 9 PM eastern/8 PM central time in the United States.

I'm sad to report the death of Stan Winston who died on Sunday at the age of 62 from multiple myeloma. Winston worked heavily in all the Jurassic Park films to create the fantastic live action animatronic dinosaurs seen in the films. He's truly a legend in film making and will be greatly missed by all who knew him and his work.

It's hard to believe it, but our beloved Jurassic Park is now celebrating it's 15 year anniversary of it's theatrical release. I hope you've enjoyed these past 15 years as much as I have and I look forward to the future of the Jurassic Park franchise. Thank you Universal Studios, Steven Spielberg, Stan Winston, and the entire crew for giving us the classic we cherish as Jurassic Park.

Here's cool bit of info from the world of paleontology. Recently, China has surpassed the United States to become the most prolific source of dinosaurs anywhere in the world. The naming of three distinct new animals, bring the number of China's valid dinosaur count to 146 with the United States now in second with 145 valid species. This makes the first time in at least 130 years that the United States has not been on top. Look forward to many great discoveries to come.
