Re: Dinosaur National Monument

Hi Tom, Thanks so much for the comment on my art, which at the time I did it 
for the National Park Service's Guide to the Dinosaur National Monument (1978) 
was the most current idea of what the DNM area looked like; several years ago I 
believe there were some stratographic and palynological studies that show a 
different interpretation (possibly more semiarid, and less tropical-looking 
"gallery forest", that may have been done by Forster or someone else. The 
original art was never produced a a poster, but I'd sure be interested in 
creating a newer and more accurate version if someone (or institution) wanted 
to do this. I'll be happy to send you digitals of the dino work I offer for 
sale, and if you're interested just let me know. Happy Holidays, Mark
