Dean and Sam are Paleontologists; Castiel is a writer. So none of them are quite sure why Gabriel, Castiel's brother, is inviting them out to get a sneak peek of his newest 'nature theme park'. But their fascination with the creatures that haven't walked the earth in 65 million years quickly turns to terror when a betrayal sends the whole island into turmoil, and when the fences come down, all bets are off.

One of my favorite flavors of fic are those written based on movies. I’ve even reviewed a few for this blog so sharing one of my top fics based on a movie I’ve loved since I was a kid was a lot of fun this week. 

That said, I’m thrilled to share When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth with the blog. Based on the classic movie Jurassic Park, this fic delivers in ways even the movie didn’t. Aside from being endgame Destiel, it also incorporates bigger baddies only seen in sequels and a perfectly replaced cast of Supernatural characters. 

Fair warning, if you’ve seen the movie, you know the “minor character death” tag isn’t a joke, a lot of people get eaten by dinosaurs in this fic and there are some pretty graphic descriptions of that happening so… mind your tags. If you don’t mind reading about a few people getting eaten and you like dinosaurs and DeanCas (including Dean carrying Cas bridal style through the jungle), then this is a fic you shouldn’t miss!

Moving onto my lower arm as work on my prehistoric sleeve continues, take a look at the most recent piece – a fossilized skeleton of Tylosaurus! This large, predatory marine reptile from the Late Cretaceous is a genus of mosasaur and is closely related to modern-day monitor lizards and snakes. 🦎🐍

In fact, Tylosaurus was one of the largest mosasaurs of all time. A number of specimens have measured between 39-52 ft long, and experts believe that a maximum length of 66 ft wouldn’t be out of the question! These giant marine carnivores were also apex predators and are documented to have eaten turtles, birds, bony fish, giant squid, sharks, plesiosaurs, and even other mosasaurs! Now I can pay tribute to one of evolution’s most well-designed killing machines with this amazingly detailed forearm tattoo!

In "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" (1967), the cavemen spoke in an unsubtitled language of 30+ words that was not translated. However, a flyer handed out at the theater included translations of the simple to use language.

Just added another super cool fossil to the collection! This genuine Plesiosaur tooth was found in Morocco and dates all the way back to the Cretaceous period. It’s also quite a large specimen, measuring almost 2.5” in length!

Plesiosaurs are often mistaken for dinosaurs, however these prehistoric creatures are actually part of a separate group known as "marine reptiles." They first evolved in the Triassic (208.5 MYA) and thrived until the massive KT extinction event caused by the Chicxulub asteroid. This took place at the end of the Cretaceous, and was the same extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs (66 MYA). 💥🌊
