Dino Russ’s Lair

Dino Russ’s Lair was a website devoted to dinosaurs and vertebrate paleontology created by geologist Russell J. Jacobson of the Illinois State Geological Survey at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

The site presented information about dinosaurs, fossil discoveries, museums, field projects, and paleontology research. It also gathered educational resources related to dinosaur science and vertebrate paleontology.

Dino Russ’s Lair was authored and maintained by Jacobson during the early 2000s as a personal paleontology resource on the web.

The original website is no longer active. Because this domain was previously used for Dino Russ’s Lair, this page briefly explains the earlier site history and its creator.
