I am about a great work

January 21, 2023

I’m also teaching in two anatomy courses and in the process of moving residences (hence bins and boxes and whatnot), so the timing’s…not great. But needs must when the devil drives.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

    A brachiosaur humerus in your living room!

    Now that’s working from home in style.

    On second thought, I don’t know why I didn’t see it as a poster of the brachiosaur humerus in the first place. But there you go.

    So, yeah, I’m making a life-size brachiosaur humerus standee. More pics to come.

    By the way, the 1970s called. It wants its carpet back.

    […] I started with a life-size poster print of FHPR 17108, the complete right humerus of Brachiosaurus from Brachiosaur Gulch in Utah (the story of the discovery and excavation of that specimen is here). I used the image shown above, scaled to print at 7 feet by 3 feet. You can see that print lying on my living room floor in the previous post. […]
