And what sort of impact did that have on Victorian society? Was it a big attraction of its day?

I think so, yeah.

I mean, it was certainly well-liked enough as the Great Exhibition.

There was a big public push for this to occur.

The politicians at the time were a bit uncertain about it, but certainly among the public, there was a big push to have a permanent Great Exhibition, to keep it going and form the Crystal Palace Company.

And it was certainly very popular.

The reasons for its, you know, struggling, its commercial struggling, I think that there's a multifaceted discussion to be had there.

They seem to be quite abundant, those fossils as well.

I think it might be one of the freakiest [laughs] looking T-Rex images I've seen, but I really appreciate it.

Oh, I'm really happy to hear that.

It's, it's really nice, you know, to, to, to know that people...

A lot of the time peop- yo-you think people look at pictures for a couple of seconds and they move on.

So it's really nice to know that people are actually looking and kind of absorbing the details.

But I think the thing with, with T-Rex eyes is, is particularly interesting because there's, there's suggestions, as y- as you may know from, from reading the book, there's suggestions that their eyes may actually be a lot smaller than we typically imagine them to be.

You know, if you think about the, the Jurassic Park T-Rex and it's got these enormous eyes.
