Dinovember day 10: Masiakasaurus (+predation)

Masiakasaurus knopfleri was a small carnivorous malagasy theropod. It is most well known for its peculiar forward facing teeth at the front of its lower jaw, likely used to hold small preys.

Included an additionnal sketch to show it's weird mouth

Archovember 2024 Day 1 - My Choice: Caihong juji

Continuing my theme of choosing dinosaurs we know the colors of, my choice for day 1 of Archovember this year is Caihong juji!

Caihong was an Anchiornithid from Late Jurassic China. It was relatively small, estimated at 40 cm (16 inches) long, with a wingspan of approximately 44 cm (17 in), and weighing 475 grams (16.8 oz). It could be distinguished from its cousins and contemporaries Eosinopteryx and Anchiornis by the longer pennaceous feathers on its forelimbs, hindlimbs, and tail. Caihong was covered almost entirely in feathers, with only the snout and claws uncovered. Like Anchiornis, Caihong’s feathers were so well-preserved that the melanosomes could be analyzed, and interpreted as iridescent black. The platelet-like melanosomes on its head, chest, and base of the tail were similar to those found in the shimmering feathers of modern trumpeters (genus Psophia). Its feather coat was also very thick, with a silky or shaggy appearance, and a ruff of longer feathers around the neck.

Caihong was likely less common than Anchiornis, as only one specimen has been found so far. Like other anchiornithids, it was probably a carnivore, hunting arthropods and other small animals in the underbrush. Also like Anchiornis, it most likely wasn’t a strong flier, instead using its shimmering plumage for display.

The Tiaojishan Formation was subtropical to temperate, warm and humid, and dominated by gymnosperm trees like ginkgopsids (including Ginkgo), conifers, cycads, and ferns. Caihong would have lived in these Late Jurassic forests with fellow anchiornithids Anchiornis, Aurornis, Serikornis, Xiaotingia, and Eosinopteryx, as well as the bizarrely-winged scansoriopterygids Yi and Scansoriopteryx. Pterosaurs were also common here, including Changchengopterus, Darwinopterus, Wukongopterus, and the small, nocturnal anurognathids Cascocauda, Sinomacrops, and Luopterus. Oddly enough, this formation known for small, flying things also included the earliest known gliding mammal: Volaticotherium antiquum.

(I was unsure what the consensus is on the lacrimal crests and sickle claw, so here is another version 🙃)

This art may be used for educational purposes, with credit, but please contact me first for permission before using my art. I would like to know where and how it is being used. If you don’t have something to add that was not already addressed in this caption, please do not repost this art. Thank you!

Dinovember day 1 - Compsognathus

He is going to leave the lantern at his family's grave today

I kindof based him on the colouring of a grass snake and tried coloured lineart to start the month with! @1dinodaily

[moxlobster]

for days 5 and 6 of Dinovember. I do not like drawing birds. remember to take care of yourself in the next couple weeks to years.

Dinovember day 9!! @1dinodaily

IM SO SORRY I MISSED YESTERDAY!!!! I wasn't busy or anything I just burned myself out, but I'm BACK!!!

I wanted to redraw day 7 because I wasn't happy with my last attempt and I drew yesterday's to make up for my absence

[jestermaker]

I was very tired and did not put much into this but still wanted to do it

Dinovember day 10

[cellulosaurus]

Dinovember day 11 12: Heterodontosaurus

Heterodontosaurus tucki, the toothy dino. That little cuttie lived in what is now South Africa about 200 to 190 Mya. The feathers are based on Tianyulong, a chinese relative that might not be so closely related after all! Still, it was covered in an extensive coat of feathers, and with Kulindadromeus and Psittacosaurus also presenting such feathers, it's safe to assume Heterodontosaurus had something similar going on.
