Somehow, probably by accident or just plain ol' lousy typing ability
on your part, you've landed on the Preview Page for The Center for Cretaceous Studies.
Don't worry, we all make misteaks.
But you're here now - ya might as well see what the heck this is all about....
WARNING!
THE
FOLLOWING IS A
SPOILER ALERT!
The Center for Cretaceous Studies is a fictional business**.
I know! Who'da ever thunk THAT, right?
NONE of this would be possible without great artists and photographers. 99.9% of the artwork from this point on was originally
created, photographed, painted or digitized by paleo-artists Dougal Dixon, Sean Cooper, Julien Romeo,
Spike Evans, Jon Hughes, Raul Martin, John Sibbick, Frank DeNota, Sergey Krasovskiy, Craig Dylke, Mineo Shiraishi , Gerhard
Boeggemann, Joe Tucciarone, Jeff Poling, Chris Srnka, to name a few, and many of the artists at Art Evolved, or from stills
from Universal Pictures, the Jurassic Park series of movies, and Walking With Dinosaurs.
Visit the websites of ART EVOLVED, UNIVERSAL PICTURES, WALKING WITH DINOSAURS and many of the artists listed above by clicking
their link on our LINKS page once you get there!
[located only on the Center for Cretaceous Studies site]
**NOTE: this page constitutes the ONLY time you will be informed of such fictitious behavior. Once you leave
this page you're on your own, buddy.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
LOOK, TO SKIP THIS JUNK, CLICK...
... HERE RIGHT NOW
The Center was established for the engineering, research and study of LIVE carnivorous dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period.
(Berriasian to Maastrichtian Stages, or 145 MA to 65 MA).
Now, if you actually believe there are live, 40-foot dinosaurs running around on Earth today, please seek professional
counseling, be it group sessions or personal couch time.
A few years ago (2006) LotsaSites.com, a website which lists and reviews other websites, posted their findings on The Center
for Cretaceous Studies as "Jurassic Park" meets "The Office" in this tongue-in-cheek look
at what would have happened if Michael Crichton's vision was actually undertaken by morons.
The C4CS website was also named Tripod "Site Of The Month" (December, 2011) in landslide
voting by Tripod members.
How bad can it get? Even our 'friends' over at Art Evolved had this to say (and we didn't even have to ask them!): "overall
most of this "art" [is] in fact stills from movies and TV shows or photographs of Dinosaur statues (badly) photoshopped into
other photographs..." So now you know enough not to expect any Mona Lisa's when you get there! Hey, this
is paleo-humor - NOT paleo-art... and it's not even paleo-humor at it's finest - it's just paleo-humor.
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS WEIRD, er, WEB SITE
As a tutorial, it would be a good idea if you are familiar with or somewhat knowledgeable in the Jurassic Park franchise of
books and movies and also current events, notably current events as they relate to the United States of America.
TIME OUT FOR A LITTLE BRAGGING...
The Center for Cretaceous Studies site has also been linked to several real dinosaur-related websites (see 'LINKS'
in the navigation bar when you get there), and more than a handful of real paleontologists have visited. We're kind
of proud about that. It's not like they actually learned anything while they were here, but hey, this ain't some website
working off a grant from the National Science Foundation.
OK. BACK TO HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
The following page is your official welcome. The majority of 'information' at each site changes slowly. However, one column
updated every week, if not more often, is the company news, located on each site at the bottom of the Home Page. Check in
often!
We suggest you Bookmark both sites once you get there! Tell your friends! Makes a great gift that keeps on giving - and it's
FREE! Visit and visit often!
Oh yeah... and Thank YOU for visiting!
click on NEXT! below or at the top of this page to go down the rabbit's hole....
HAVE FUN!
NEXT!
