PaleoFauna Coloring Book - Kickstarter Project

I believe in supporting new ideas and products using Kickstarter. So far I have supported 3 technology projects and like to visit the site to see what new projects are being launched.

I came across the Coloring Book of PaleoFauna by Diane Ramic of Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA. This looks like a neat idea and ambitious with 200 pages. The author has already 5 books published including one on dinosaurs.

If you get a chance check out this campaign and support if you want a neat coloring book of creatures that only exist as fossils now. The campaign ends on August 6, 2017.

Darwin's Treasure Chest Kickstarter Campaign

Here is an interesting Kickstarter campaign that has do with a hot new technology and ancient creatures that existed before the dinosaurs. Two art related individuals, Chris Sloan and Ricky Lim have teamed up to create the Darwin's Treasure Chest project. The project is teach people about creature that lived before the dinosaurs by allowing them to create a replica of a selected group with a low cost 3D printers. Their focus is helping teachers create these models for their classrooms.

Their plan is to create 15 models from the time before the dinosaurs. The Proterozoic Era (Dickinsonia and fosssil tracks), Paleozoic: Cambrian (Anomalocaris, Pikaia, and conodonts), Ordovician (Jaekelopterus and Orthoceras), Silurian (Hemicyclaspsis and Nostolepis), Devonian (Coelacanth and Titaalik), Carboniferous (Hylonomus and Gerrothorax), and Permian (Dimetrodon and Youngina).

Later they will produce dinosaur and mammal models.

People who donate money at certain levels can get pledge rewards. See the Kickstarter site for details: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/920123593/darwins-treasure-chest-3d-printable-learning-model
