" In the marketplace today there are many publications one can turn to for information about dinosaurs. However, the information in these publications tend to be about a single subject, overly scientific, badly out-of-date, or singular expositions of the author's thought.
Dinosauria On-Line is intended to give the reader a broader exposure to dinosaur science. I've tried to bring together discussions about the topics that are hot among dinosaur enthusiasts today. This allows the reader not only to see a subject from many points of view, but allows him to see what others think about ideas and questions that the reader has wondered about but not been able to pose to knowledgeable people.

" The Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences, formerly the "American Association of Paleontological Suppliers" was organized to create a professional association of commercial fossil and mineral collectors and preparators for the purpose of promoting ethical collecting practices and cooperative liaisons with researchers, instructors, curators and exhibit managers in the academic and museum paleontological community. The American Lands Access Association was established by the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies for the purpose of promoting and ensuring the right of the amateur hobby collector, recreational prospector and miner to the use of public and private lands for collecting rocks, minerals and fossils for educational and recreational purposes. These Associations have chosen to cooperate in the effort to introduce and enact legislation that will establish a statutory right of access for amateur and commercial fossil and mineral collecting on federal public lands.
