## [The End of Oak Street – shag pile](https://chasmosaurs.com/2026/08/18/the-end-of-oak-street-shag-pile/)

_2026-08-18 · Marc Vincent · Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs_

Remember a time before The Franchise had a near-monopoly on movie dinosaurs? Me neither. To avoid any references to the Crichton and Spielberg-spawned behemoth, you’d have to travel in time all the way back to the 1980s. And that seems like as good a reason as any to set the ‘modern day’ portions of any new dinosaur films during that decade – it’s the most recent era during which the characters…

🦴 Comparative Articulation I define comparative articulation as a full specimen, or most of a specimen, articulated primarily to display its biological structure—essentially answering the question: "What are they supposed to look like?" The goal is to clearly communicate the animal's anatomy and allow visitors to understand how the bones fit together. 🏃 Dynamic Articulation Dynamic articulation…
