Welcome to the Palaeo-media Archive!
Hello! This is a new and ever-expanding blog that aims to archive and catalogue every piece of media that features ancient beasts and terrible lizards. Below are a few FAQs, but feel free to send an ask or email (palaeomediaarchive@ hotmail.com) with further questions.
WHAT EXACTLY WILL BE CONSIDERED?
In order for a movie/show/book etc. to be considered, they must contain either in part (hybrids/mutations/fossils), or fully, a prehistoric creature. They must also feature heavily to be included - a three second shot of a dinosaur in the background does not count.
At present, media that contains mythological creatures/cryptids inspired by prehistoric creatures will not be considered. For example, anything that features lake monsters/the loch ness monster or media such as Godzilla will not feature, even if they are heavily inspired by and referenced as a dinosaur-like beings.
WHAT MEDIA WILL BE FEATURED?
Anything and everything! Movies, documentaries, novels, video games, shows, anime, cartoons, comics etc. If there's an ancient creature there, it'll count.
Some media may come under a Mature rating, any that do will be tagged as such.
