Dinosaurs are now Grade I listed along with the geological strata and lead mine on the site.

http://www.gnn.gov.uk/content/Detail.asp?ReleaseID=305274&NewsAreaID=2

Can anyone update the page with references to the geological strata and lead mine (which is closed as far as I know).

Crestless Pteranodon

The article states that some Pteranodon species had a head without a "point", as the article says. Whoever added this is obviously a moron when it comes to prehistoric life as he doesn't even know what a crest is and the only known species is Pteranodon longiceps, which did in fact have a crest. Whoever you are, add the word crest to your vocabulary, buy a few dinosaur books, and remove that idiotic lie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.148.242 (talk) 01:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Creation and materials?

I was wondering if a short bit on the materials would be appropriate? One of the linked websites states that: "The financial difficulties at the time were reflected in the construction of the statues, whose materials ranged from a form of concrete with tiles set in a very durable mortar, to cast-iron drainpipes, wroughtiron rods and bands, carved stonework, and cast lead with sculpted detail. Later repairs included the use of scaffold poles, mortar repairs and even plasticine with a thin resin skin, and fibreglass replacement parts." http://www.ihbc.org.uk/context_archive/75/dinosaurs/dinos.html It would be nice maybe to add this to the 'History' section after mentioning his workshop. (I am presuming here that the website is considered a reputable source.

Also, the number of surviving models (29) would be useful information to add to the opening paragraph. If no one objects, I'll makes those two changes at some point =) Abergabe (talk) 01:26, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
