Now published! Brazilian PhD student Mauro Lacerda led our efforts to reconstruct how early #theropod #dinosaur pelvic appendages evolved, focusing on megalosauroids. Big open access paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.230481

Something that's probably still useful a decade hence from its original posting, an anatomical diagram of a Tyrannosaurus rex head prompted by someone's erstwhile temerity in correcting some video game's by-the-seat-of-their-pants art direction.
Do follow the link above for more information, including references used, if you're so inclined.

And here's the header image, https://www.deviantart.com/dracontes/art/Short-Faced-Tetanuran-Shaded-1-119985019 . Same fictional animal as the skull diagram on the previous post.
And yes, I'm aware it's over 10 years old and in need of some updating regarding reconstructive choices, but the whole Twitter fiasco caught me flat-footed in a number of ways.

Well, to start things off I would be linking to the avatar's original posting to see if links embed properly but it doesn't seem like that works. Oh well here it is, https://www.deviantart.com/dracontes/art/Short-faced-Tetanuran-Skull-62273934

I had the great opportunity to get up close with Trinity, the first T. rex skeleton to be auctioned off in Europe. Read about it on my blog: https://www.manospondylus.com/2023/04/my-evening-with-trinity-first-t-rex-to.html?m=1

The nest of the bee hummingbird, the smallest living #theropod. While tiny, they are fierce. They have been known to take down prey as large as water buffalo.
Sorry, that was ChatGPT talking.

I've not posted for a while, but given the #AI craze, now seems as good a time as any to talk about former post-doc Jens Lallensack's cool paper on using #machinelearning to discriminate #theropod and #ornithopod #dinosaur tracks. https://peterfalkingham.com/2023/03/02/ai-well-machine-learning-and-dinosaur-tracks/

I dub it an Adorabaryonyx ππ
RT PaleoPines:
The lush forest of Paleo Pines seems to suit the #Baryonyx with its gorgeous plum colours! πYou can find this #theropod steed close to rivers and ponds, where it feels most at home.

I'll stop using the #mammoth 𦣠to depict a #mastodon when the pre-avian #theropod π¦ gets feathers?
Allegedly it's a #Trex - which possibly wasn't very fluffy? β¦ but i still like the mammoth, so I'm sticking to this excuse till i think of a better one.

For #FossilFriday, check out our recent paper describing the first records of #theropod dinosaurs from Chilean Patagonia (including birds)! These fossils are fragmentary, but add to our understanding of theropod distribution in the latest Cretaceous.

Happy #FossilFriday ! Here's a look at one of just a few theropod teeth that have been found at SGDS. While these teeth would of had serrations along the outer edge when new, all the teeth we find have been worn down!

"Majungasaurus has affectionately been referred to as a "sausage with legsβ because it had an incredibly long neck and torso."

A heavily worn and damaged #theropod #dinosaur tooth from the famous #Tyrannosaurus rex. The #fossil was found out of situ in 5 pieces from the #Maastrichtian aged Hell Creek Formation deposits in Garfield County, Montana, United States and repaired with Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) in acetone. Despite it's condition, this T. rex tooth has pristine distal serrations and a respectable size of around 2.2". The tooth may have been around or over 3" had it been complete.
