Here we go! The formation piece for the Morrison formation. I apologize to all Morrison nerds for not including their personal favorites. At some point the image is full.
We mostly focused on the flora and fauna of the Dry Mesa quarry and adjacent localities. Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus were also present but where would you even put these?
Because there are plenty of size charts for Morrison we didn't bother about it this time but one of our Discord mods, Tim, and a few other people put together a rich menu to choose from. The flora was informed mostly by the work by the work of Tom Parker.

Heads up… it’s Fossil Friday! 🦕 The Museum's Apatosaurus, collected at the turn of the 20th century, was the first sauropod ever mounted. But did you know that for years, this mighty dinosaur was displayed with the wrong skull? Using incomplete remains, scientists speculated that Apatosaurus was closely related to another sauropod: Camarasaurus. As a result, a similar skull to Camarasaurus was sculpted and placed atop Apatosaurus’ body (pictured), where it remained for decades. As new research emerged, this reconstruction was updated. To this day, only one Apatosaurus has ever been found with its skull attached!
See Apatosaurus up close in the Museum's Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs! Plan your visit.

Today's random portfolio artwork is "The Formidable Opportunists," from the book LOCKED IN TIME, ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR UNEARTHED IN 50 EXTRAORDINARY FOSSILS (written by Dr Dean Lomax). It features a group of Allosaurus feeding on a dead Camarasaurus, it is based on an amazing fossil site at the Wyoming Dinosaur Centre (USA).

A fossilized section of skull or basipterygoid process from a sauropod, likely Camarasaurus sp. from the Morrison Formation in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming, United States. This genus of basal macronarian is the most common sauropod found in the United States and makes up the majority of dinosaur fossils in the Morrison Formation alongside Diplodocus and the theropod Allosaurus.

so i may not be as much into fnaf now as i used to when i was younger but ive always been baffled that nobody has made a dinosaur themed fnaf fan game?? i may just be autistic for these sillies but i love the concept of it so much :D it makes sense for me because dinosaurs are popular with kids and popular in horror and irl there are a lot of dinosaur animatronics. so my concept here is that somewhere in utah fazbear entertainment collaborated with a fictional museum to make an educational dinosaur themed restaurant! also every dino robot is a species that can be found in utah! So first we have Utahraptor. It was made to show off more birdlike theories and was given a voicebox that can record voices to repeat them back like those toys that do it but due to being haunted can mimic voices. they slowly stalk the player and intentionally mess with them, toying with their prey. (this was made before the mimic lmao)
Tumblr media
Next is Camarasaurus! this animatronic is HUGE and in a kid's cove type area all to itself. because its so big the engineers only made its neck, head and tail robotic while its body is a plastic frame. At night it detaches its neck/head from its body and slithers through the vents. also here's a plushie of little dude!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is Diabloceratops. this one is the most haunted and possibly possessed by a demon. its body moves in unnatural ways and it frequently will move with its limbs on backwards or upside down. it also has some kind of strange parasite type thing in it similar to ennard spaghetti. this design is probably my favorite and the one that freaks me out the most, inspired by the not-deer cryptid and demonic possession.
Tumblr media
And lastly the only withered animatronic, Akainacephalus ! :D they are inspired by slinky toys and poltergeists. this guy has a fnaf 2 puppet type role in the cast and sits right outside the office and doesn't move much unless its activated. i dont have much lore for them yet but i still love little dude! I also plan to add Ceratosaurus, Tenontosaurus, and Stegosaurus!
There is also Archie! He is an Archaeopteryx and the only member of the cast who is not found in Utah and is the education mascot of the museum :D he has an almost helpy like role and only shows up on posters, art, screens and as a plushie. :D
Tumblr media
I dont know if this game will ever come out but i wanted to share my concept somewhere on the internet :D

-SKULL ISLAND SAUROPODS-
Three species of sauropods live on Skull Island today, each one of them belongs to a different family and fills different niches, here we will go over all of them one by one.
Tumblr media
-DIABLOSAURUS-
A Dicraeosaurid with armored osteoderms over their body and a rhino-like horn on their snouts, the horn is usually used more for display over fighting, but some individuals have been spotted using their horns against predators occasionally.
Tumblr media
-BRONTODOMINUS-
This unusual Camarasaurid evolved a semi-acquatic lifestyle, living in swamps and feeding mostly on kelp, algea and occasionally meat as well, some Brontodominus have even been seen eating humans during the first few expeditions to Skull island.
Tumblr media
-BRACHIOCOLOSSUS-
This 60 meters tall Brachiosaurid is the largest sauropod still living on earth, when one of them dies it is seen as a momentous occasion by the Skull Islanders, as their body alone will feed the forest's flora, fauna and people for generations to come.

I took this shot while listening to a podcast where a bounty hunter told the story of the time she tracked down a fugitive by creating a dating profile and honeypotting him until he asked him to come over and thereby revealed his location. As a result, I can’t look at this Camarasaurus without thinking of some dude getting arrested because he tried to get his toes sucked. …does anyone actually read these captions?

Time for the monthly drawing recap!
This month:
- Hilda's mission to save some trapped Huldrefish goes wrong when a Baryonyx starts feasting on the trapped fish
- Woodman's calm night is somewhat disrupted as a Camarasaurus rests next to his campfire
- a Maip is forced to cross Toføten on foot, putting every citizen, including aunt Astrid, on edge
- the eternal warriors have once again made David touch the medallion, and he's recklessly trying to take down an Einiosaurus... which won't end well

Monday Musings: Macronaria
If you have been following my posts this month you will recall the one I did on sauropod phylogeny at the beginning. Today I am going to focus on one clade: macronaria. The name "macronaria" means "large nose" referring to the large nasal opening in their skulls.
These sauropods first appeared in the middle Jurassic about 168-161 Ma and lasted all the way until the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous. They have been found on every continent except Antarctica.
In review, here are the characteristics or synapomorphies we use to diagnose macronarian sauropods:
Middle and posterior neural spines have distal ends that extend out transversely.
Posterior neural spines extend at the tip forming a triangular process upwards.
The anterior chevrons have an open proximal articulation.
Tumblr media
Robust, spatulate, broad-crowned teeth.
Tumblr media
Crests formed by large, protruding nasal.
Tumblr media
Elongate metacarpals.
Tumblr media
Forelimbs longer than hindlimbs.
Tumblr media
Now here's a list of important or interesting macronarians:
ABROSAURUS
Tumblr media
Discovered in 1984 near Zigong, China. It's name means "delicate lizard". It is from the middle Jurassic so one of the earliest in the clade and it is known from a nearly complete skull which is almost unheard of in sauropods.
AUSTRALOTITAN
Tumblr media
Discovered in 2005 in Queensland, Australia, the "southern giant" is the largest dinosaur found on the island continent.
CAMARASAURUS
Tumblr media
Found during the infamous Bone Wars, it is the most common sauropod in the Morrison Formation. Named in 1877 by Edward Drinker Cope, it means "chambered lizard". The first specimen was recovered from Cañon City, Colorado's Garden Park Quarry. Other specimens have come from Como Bluff, Wyoming; Fruita, Colorado; Dinosaur National Monument, Black Mesa, Oklahoma; South Dakota, New Mexico, and the Snowy Mountains of Montana. Over 500 specimens are known from both juvenile and adult animals. In fact, the most complete sauropod ever found was a juvenile Camarasaurus. You've probably seen it.
Tumblr media
There are four species recognized: C. grandis, C. lewisi, C. lentus, and C. supremus. Stratigraphic evidence suggests an evolutionary progression of the genus through the Morrison Formation. C. grandis is the oldest occurring in the lower Salt Wash Member. It coexisted briefly with C. lewisi in the upper Salt Wash and with C. lentus in the lower Brushy Basin Member before vanishing. C. lentus continued till the bottom of the upper Brushy Basin where it briefly overlapped with C. supremus. This immediate succession of species as well as similarities suggests that C. supremus evolved directly from C. lentus.
EUHELOPUS
Tumblr media
It was discovered in 1913 by a Catholic priest names Father R. Mertens and was the first dinosaur scientifically investigated in China.
FUKUITITAN
Tumblr media
Described in 2010, this titanosaur from Japan is just fun to say.
LOURINHASAURUS
Tumblr media
A camarasaurid found in Portugal in 1949. It comes from onw of the Morrison's sister formation, the Lourinha. It is incredibly similar to Camarasaurus with slightly longer front limbs.
VENENOSAURUS
Tumblr media
A brachiosaurid from the early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation. An adult and juvenile were found in 1998 in the Poison Strip Member.
ABYDOSAURUS
Tumblr media
A brachiosaurid known from a complete skull. Found in the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation in Dinosaur National Monument, it was very similar to Giraffatitan with narrower teeth and a smaller nose.
BRACHIOSAURUS
Tumblr media
Found during the Bone Wars in 1900 by Elmer Riggs in Fruita, Colorado, it was the largest dinosaur ever found at the time. Despite it's popularity though, very little is actually known about this dinosaur.
CEDAROSAURUS
Tumblr media
Another brachiosaurid found in the Cedar Mountain Formation but in the Yellow Cat Member. Seems brachiosaurids lasted a bit in North America.
EUROPASAURUS
Tumblr media
A brachiosaurid from late Jurassic Germany, it was identified as an example of insular dwarfism resulting from isolation on an island. It was only 20ft (6.2m) long!
GIRAFFATITAN
Tumblr media
A brachiosaurid from the other Morrison sister formation, the Tendaguru. Once thought to be a species of Brachiosaurus, most reconstructions are actually based on this genus. It is the largest sauropod known from relatively complete material. The mounted specimen in Berlin is actually a subadult at about 73.7ft (22.46m) long and 40ft (12m) tall.
ARGENTINOSAURUS
Tumblr media
A titanosaur from late Cretaceous Argentina, it is often considered the largest sauropod ever but with so little to go off that really is a bit of a leap. We need more skeletal remains.
ALAMOSAURUS
Tumblr media
The only titanosaur found in North America. Remains have been recovered in Texas, Utah, New Mexico, and possibly Wyoming. Despite it's name, it was actually found in New Mexico first. This one is probably kore accurately the largest sauropod as we have more material.
