FYI,
The number 1 rock album in Finland right now is the band
SENTENCED CD "Crimson". On the cover art is a stylized Gorgosaurus
libratus that Phil Currie and I co-found July 30, 1991 and I was in charge
of mounting for TMP in 1996 (TMP91.36.500; Quarry 200, Dinosaur Provincial Park,
Alberta, Canada). This stylized skeleton is superimposed over an ammonite.
Inside the lyrics book is a picture of the skull of Tyrrell's Triceratops (the
AMNH specimen).
For anyone interested, the bands music is identified as
"death metal" on an Internet search engine- but it really is more like
hard rock/alternative, similar to (but less polished) than METALLICA. I can't
get onto the bands website, but I believe a picture of the cover art should be
available there at: www.sentenced.org
If you buy the CD, there is a file where you can use the
cover art as wallpaper for your computer.
Believe me, I was sure surprised to see my
dinosaur on a rock CD! A year ago, I came across a website where some guy
into goth has the same skeleton tatooed over his left shoulder.
