International Dinosaur Day 2021
Noble Fossil Fans!
International Dinosaur Day 2021 is upon us. What is it? Aside from a time for the world to come together for a day and celebrate all that is amazing about dinosaurs, it is also the date that Fossil Crates announces its Ambassadors. Two dinosaurs, one carnivore and one herbivore, are selected to represent their continents throughout the year. Let's take a moment to celebrate the 2020 Ambassadors for their service (in order of carnivore then herbivore)!
Africa
Spinosaurus and Ouranosaurus
Antarctica
Cryolophososaurus and Antarctopelta
Asia
Velociraptor and Therizinosaurus
Australia
Australovenator and Savannasaurus
Europe
Sciurumius and Dacentrurus
South America
Megaraptor and Bajadasaurus
North America
Tyrannosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus
For 2021 Fossil Crates put the Ambassadors to a vote on Instagram, offering Fossil Fans around the world to select between 2 carnivores and 2 herbivores on each continent (hear more about it below).
With each election receiving thousands of votes the results appear below. We will be taking a deeper look throughout the month of June at our newly elected Ambassadors.
Congratulations to each of the new winners! The order is carnivore first, then herbivore. The number in parentheses represents the percentage of the vote they carried.
