Batia-Teryx at the Whisky a Go Go! - 5:00 PM, May. 3, 2007

June 4, 2007, Monday, Batia-Teryx will perform in the semi-finals of Emergenza's international Battle of the Bands.

We've come a long way in the past few months, learning how to work together, and it's so nice to have a group to

play dinosaur songs. This is an all-ages show at the Famous Whisky a Go Go, where the Doors, Hendrix, Van Halen, and others got their start.

 

Tickets are $12.00, and it's $18.00 at the door, so get a ticket!

 

with love,

ron

Dino-dude incognito - 11:20 PM, Oct. 27, 2006

At the Getty Museum, I performed as the "Dino-dude" - extreme lead guitarist of The Getty Boys, a rock band made of rogue scientists. The drummer, Julio Del Hoyo, wore the powerful "Dino-guy" hat. Yes, there was Jamming.

Helicoplacoid - 4:40 PM, Oct. 10, 2006

Stars of Dinosounds:

Helicoplacoid – a very unusual spiral echinoderm from the Cambrian age. It was a strange echinoderm, found in only a few places in the world. The site where they are found is at 7,000 feet elevation, near the famous bristlecone pine forests. The last time I went to the site, my cousin Terry and I got covered in snow. To view a close-up of the painting in

the Dinosounds book, go to the gallery-

http://dinosounds.com/dino_gallery.html

Here’s a photo of an actual fossil of a helicoplacoid from the Berkeley website –

Tribrachidium - 4:38 PM, Sep. 25, 2006

Stars of Dinosounds:

Tribrachidium – this creature superficially resembles an edrioasteroid, though it had no calcareous plates. A report by some of my colleagues – Kevin Peterson and Whitey Haggedorn – described some of these early organisms as fungi, not animals. It’s an interesting study...

http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/43/1/127

 

See Tribrachidium from the Dinosounds book -

Below is an actual fossil of Tribrachidium, from Peripatus’ website:

Gogia – a very unusual echinoderm from the Cambrian, sung about in “Cambrian Blues”. It looked like a strange onion on the seabed. To view the paintings in the Dinosounds book, go to the gallery -

Pteridinium - from Gondwanaland or Lemuria? - 4:33 PM, Jun. 21, 2006

Stars of Dinosounds:

pteridinium – a very strange Vendian organism. I painted this Ediacaran fossil purple, simply from an aesthetic standpoint. You can see it in the gallery –

http://dinosounds.com/dino_gallery.html

Below is an actual fossil of Pteridinium. It’s a strange three-dimensional creature that probably lived within sand of a shallow ocean. This image is from the Humbolt website:

Dinosaur mother Maiasaura - 4:29 PM, May. 7, 2006

Stars of Dinosounds:

Maiasaura is a wonderful dinosaur that has ornithischian hips. There is a lot of information on Maiasaura, since Jack Horner helped discover an entire fossilized herd of the dinosaurs. You can see a close-up version of a male Maiasaura in the gallery-

Below is a skeleton of a baby Maiasaura from the Berkeley website –
