I know I'm not using the most accurate reference but hey, it's working. I'm sure the people at my school won't care that there's a semi- accurate spino..

It's supposed to be a bookend. But... Idk how it's gonna be one. Apparently I'm supposed to cut it in half. But I'm way too attached to it to even think about cutting it.

Also is the sail too far back??

The premise behind this book is very interesting. Conway paid homage to various artists throughout like Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Frida Kahlo, and etc. if they saw and painted dinosaurs.

Hi everyone. Today I want to share some facts about Sauropelta edwardsorum.

Sauropelta was a nodosaurid dinosaur. It lived in the Early Cretaceous, about 115–110 million years ago, in North America (Wyoming, Montana, Utah).

It was about 5–6 meters long and weighed around 1.5–2 tons. It was a herbivore (plant-eater).

The main feature of Sauropelta is its armor. It had bony plates (osteoderms) on its back and sides. It also had long, curved spikes on its shoulders and neck. These spikes were probably for defense against predators like Deinonychus and Utahraptor.

Important fact: Unlike Ankylosaurus, Sauropelta had no tail club. Its tail was covered in armor, but it could not swing it like a hammer.

Scientists think Sauropelta was a low browser. It ate ferns, cycads, and early flowering plants.

The holotype and only known specimen of Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis, which includes one of the most complete skulls of a megalosaurid, will be auctioned on November 18, 2026.

It's a major loss for science, and seeing the auction house tout its holotype status as "a special sale event" is sad and worrying for the future. These things should be seen as priceless, not as display pieces for millionaires.

I ha e some cheap figurines that look suspiciously close to papo, schleich and collectA figurines BUT they mostly have 2 bright neon colours so i thought i could repaint them. Ofc i know that i need to prime it first but i dont know what kind of paints i need or what kind of brushes. Im also on a tight budget soo don't be picking out anything too expensive. I might show u the dinos unpainted if you are curious.

Look, most of us probably got into dinosaurs due to the jurrasic movies. That sorta includes me. The movies were massively popular and influenced pop culture massively. It also made most of us think this is what dinosaurs use to look like. But, we know that these designs aren't accurate and we're just speculation due to us only having bones to work off. But the franchise has produced many versions of real life dinosaurs. I want to know what's ya'lls opinion on the designs from the Dinosaurs from the franchise (except the hybrids). I loved the spinosaurus design as a kid. And the mosasaurus was way too massive but it was still AWSOME.

Absolutely loved this documentary as a kid. Very interesting and entertaining. Will always recommend this. Big Al is the GOAT of dinosaurs in my opinion.

Can anyone please tell me the study that says T. rex could turn good and was a very agile hunter? Please I’m trying to get proof of my claims for a friend and he doesn’t believe me.

When we heard the word "dinosaur" we always pictured T-rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Velociraptor

When we heard Herbivorous dinosaurs, we always pictured Sauropods, Ankylosaurs, Iguanodon and Stegosaurs

When we heard Hadrosaurs/Duckbilled dinosaurs, we always pictured the iconic Parasaurolophus and Iguanodon because of Disney's "Dinosaurs' and we always thought that Duckbill dinosaurs are always herd and prey animals by small and large carnivores

When I heard Hadrosaurs before, I always see Parasaurolophus, Iguanodon, Corythosaurus, Tsintaosaurus, Ouranosaurus and never this dinosaur

The Shantungosaurus - the largest of the Hadrosaur family and the largest non- sauropod dinosaur

This Dino is larger than the freaking Tyrannosaurus🦖

I can't believe

I compare this Shantungosaurus size to other more iconic and prehistoric animals

Já que eles destruíam florestas inteiras da natureza produzindo novas plantas e sementes,a palavra trator combina mais com elefantes.

I'm a bit over halfway through this movie and I had to pause it because it traumatized me with the death of Ewan's character , which is not very common for me, but I was very immersed in the movie and I guess it just surprised me and activated on some past real personal traumas.

My short question is just: does the rest of the movie have anything else as devastating as that character death?

I don't really mind it being spoiled, I'm interested in finishing it but maybe not or I'll close my eyes if it has that instant & graphic type of death.

I apologize if this is too far off topic; I just saw the movie discussed a bit here so I figured you'd all have a better memory and empathy about it.

Like, they'll obviously watch and protect their eggs but what is like when it comes to young? Like do they take of their children like most birds and look after it until they leave on their own? Where they like crocodiles and alligators who'd protect and look after their babies for atleast a year or two, before they need to leave before getting eaten? If there was multiple young, would they care about all of them or hope some survive? Like let's a few babies are cornered by a predator but they have other babies with them - would the parents save those babies or leave them to die and look after the rest?

It's my childhood toy, I really want to try painting some figures and thought starting with him would be nice bc I'm not scared to "spoil" him. Thinking darker colors, browns or smth and green/yellow dots on the back and neck. I know he's not very accurate, he's around 8 years old and his neck is very skinny. Maybe I could try to sculpt him up, but dunno. Kinda scary D:

I know for sure it's not 100% accurate. That's why I'm posting it here.

I'm new to sculpting btw. Please don't be mean- I'm making a full body sculpture of it and some other smaller dinos for bookends.

Any ideas help!

I'm wondering about where this would be best to post so I'll try here for now.

In jurassic Park Ian Malcom says that the dinosaurs learned to attack humans somewhere as having never being in contact with humans, how would they know we are prey?

Would this be right if dinosaurs were brought back?

Big predators in zoos know to attack humans in their enclosure, some in the wild do too. So how correct is that statement? Would dinosaurs know we were prey or would it take time to learn?

In elementary school, while everyone else was wanting to be a firefighter or cop, I wanted to be a paleontologist. Honestly the idea of being in remote areas digging up fossils was truly my first romance. I would spend hours day dreaming different places like the desert or on the side of a mountain cliff just chiseling away.

I tried google lensing this guy but it wouldn't come up with a name to match this exact appearance. I thought maybe diabloceratops? But it feels like the frill isn't the correct shape for that one..I know this is a cheap plastic toy so it could be that but just poorly made. Any help is appreciated! Thank you:)

It’s called the A Typical Tyrannosaurus Cartoon. I have read on Reddit up to chapter 12,
but I want to see what is next and all of those posts were from a year ago so I have a hard time believing that the rest hasn’t been translated yet.
Does anybody have a link or know where to find this in English?
It would be greatly appreciated!

I remember my mom gave me this CD as a present back in the 90's. For a kid, some of the songs were kinda corny, but some others were pretty decent.

Finally had the time to go down and visit this small but free museum here in Utah. I love my state’s dinosaur history so much

Just wondering. Let's say an average big sauropod. Not Argentinasaurus. Like... diplodocus or brontosaurus or apatosaurus. One of those. Would a sauropods neck be strong enough to carry significant weight above the weight of the neck itself?

A dinosaur weighing more than half a metric ton appears to have become a meal for a much smaller carnivore. Scratches on its jaw point toward a raptor feeding on the remains of an Albertosaurus, a relative of Tyrannosaurus rex.

The fossil analysis, published in the Journal of Paleontology, was led by University of Alberta researcher Joshua Doyon. Coauthors include university paleontologist Philip Currie and Royal Tyrrell Museum researchers Caleb Brown and François Therrien.

The team favors a small dromaeosaurid, the dinosaur group commonly called raptors, as the animal responsible. If that interpretation is correct, the specimen provides the first reported evidence of one feeding on a tyrannosaur. Scavenging is considered more likely than an attack on the living animal.

Got some guys a few days ago. Decided to go around the more overgrown part of my yard and snap a couple photos. The Spinosaurus, Therizinosaurus, caudipteryx, and Lambeosaurus are figures from PNSO, the Velociraptor was from Safari Ltd. Got em all from Amazon, but you might be able to find them somewhere else. Fair warning, they are pricey.

One of the big reasons why I love it is that the volcanic eruption is not portrayed like it's typically done in most Hollywood movies were it is an explosion of lava that the heroes have to escape from. Volcanic ash is after all much more dangerous than lava. Lava usually don't travel that far away from the volcano but ash can travel long distances thanks to the wind and cause damage in a much larger area. Taking that aside I also love how the episode goes from being serious and suspensful to lighthearted. Nigel went back in time to just get a few Microraptors which are just tiny Dinosaurs and he also returns with a whole herd of 20 tons heavy Titanosaurs, much to Bob's dismay.
