The Dinosaur Fan is a virtual extinct life collectibles encyclopedia. The intent of this website is to provide images and summary information about extinct life-related collectibles from around the World, hopefully in a fun, interesting, and highly visual fashion. At its lowest level, this site about four things:
|
|
- Collecting: this site attempts to serve as a virtual encyclopedia for anyone curious about collectibles relating to extinct life by providing photos, checklists, and summary information about a variety of ephemera (i.e., paper items) which include images of these long-gone creatures.
|
|
- Extinct Life: this site provides images, elementary information, and cladistics (e.g., family trees) relating to extinct lifeforms, living flora and fauna, fictional beasts, and inanimate objects.
|
|
- Baseball: this site provides images, photos of collectibles, and summary statistics pertaining to the members of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.
|
|
- Fun: I created this website as a way to share my passion for extinct life and collecting. I enjoy the trials of the database work, the challenges of building the webpages, and most of all, the perpetual hunt to find previously omitted collectibles. I hope you have as much fun browsing The Dinosaur Fan and I do maintaining it.
