Last month, we launched a project on BackerKit to celebrate some of the biggest dinosaurs that were named last year We did that by making them dinosaur trading cards, and we were fully funded in 15 minutes! Thank you to Tara, our artist who designed all the cards (including our bonus stretch goal card: Shri rapax), for sharing this making of video with us
