Isle of Delight

Another amazing relic was discovered recently by a Mr S. M. Clabby. The packet is from the Isle of Wight, the UK's dinosaur hot spot. These gargantuan choc-chip biscuits are stegosaur-shaped and so huge that only two fit in each large yellow packet. The nature of both the biscuits and the place of discovery point to one individual genus being the consumer: the ankylosaurian Polacanthus. Polacanthus is one of the only armoured dinosaurs known in the area. This has profound evolutionary implications because the later armoured dinosaurs such as Euoplocephalus ate choc-chip cookies, similar to these biscuits in many respects, but of more derived simple round variety.

Prehistoric Recipe Shocker

Here is a recently discovered addition to the long list of dinosaur-shaped biscuits. The packet, now in possession of the author, arrived from an unknown source. A word of warning, this could be a fake, it may not be a genuine prehistoric artefact.

The product provides enthusiasts with the opportunity to indulge in a little prehistoric cookery themselves (and very enjoyable it is, too). This packet differs from all others in featuring a Cretaceous dinosaur.

Dinosaurs are often accused of being dim-witted or stupid. However, note the neat apron and dashing oven gloves, which contradict the notion of foolish dinosaurs

If genuine, this is final proof that dinosaurs evolved the essential baking skills necessary to feed themselves, and provides palaeontologists with vital clues regarding dinosaur behaviour and ecology.
