cult animals continue to attract young and old

A dinosaur on the Esplanade de la Défense has attracted many Parisians. It announces the release of the 6th part of the saga Jurassic Park. In 1993, Steven Spielberg brought dinosaurs back to life. Computer-generated images surprise with their realism. “You have to animate every limb, every muscle, every swallow”explained the director in 1993. The logo created for the park, which is present on the poster, comes in several objects and on different supports.

For thirty years, the dino-mania has not weakened. The “Time of the Dinosaurs” exhibition, which reproduces animals using machines, attracts children. Parents appreciate this playful approach to introduce the youngest to history and paleontology. In Wyoming (USA), fossil hunting delights archaeologists. In 2018, the skeleton of an allosaurus was sold for 1.450 million euros. The record is held by a T-rex, sold for 27 million euros in 2020.
