Jurassic June 2024 Day 25: Apatosaurus ajax

Two huge Apatosaurus males battle each other at the height of the breeding season over territory and mates as a pair of Harpactognathus fly across the sunset.

Had Harp on my mind alot lately~ the first three pics are a little older but the last three are SUPER fresh~

I'm currently pushing him to being a bit more jockish ~ because he deserves the chaotic energy, and I think that would bounce off his loves VERY well

The Magnificent Langoon

the largest animal ever to fly the great lance dragon or langoon are giant Rhamphorhynchoid pterosaurs that rule over saikin with a serrated beak and powerful claws these animals are capable of hunting prey up to a ton or more in weight The langoon are most similar to the long extinct azdarchids in appearance and indeed hunt on the ground in a similar fashion yet perhaps surprisingly these animals are far closer to Genera like Harpactognathus than any Azdarchoid

These Giants of the skies are well known for their often dragon like behavior Its well documented that langoons will often steal pretty or shiny objects for a bower like nest structure which is utilized by males to attract mates in fact when the saikin subspecies was formally described in 1836 it was noted that females chose bowers that had the most impressive items with megafauna skulls and strange rocks being preferred by females

150 million years ago on the ferny savannas of Late Jurassic North America, two Allosaurus fragilis squabble over territory. Far overhead the battling dinosaurs soars the pterosaur Harpactognathus gentryii.

Made a new more dynamic scale model for making refference scenes so expect this man in various dangerous situations (Species left to right: Ornitholestes, Mesadactylus, Docodon, Harpactognathus, and Kepodactylus)

#Archovember Day 10 - Ceratosaurus nasicornis

Type species of the Ceratosauria, Ceratosaurus nasicornis was a medium-sized predator from Late Jurassic North America. It was characterized by deep jaws and 3 prominent horns on its head. It also had a ridge of small osteoderms down it’s back, as well as elsewhere across its skin.

Late Jurassic North America seemed to be ruled by a trifecta of theropod apex predators: Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, and Ceratosaurus. There have been multiple studies on how these predators could have coexisted without direct competition, but it was likely due to niche partitioning. Ceratosaurus could have preferred different prey items, and even different parts of a carcass when scavenging. Ceratosaurus had thin, elongated teeth in comparison to the other theropods, and could have even hunted semi-aquatic prey like lungfish, crocodiles, and turtles.

The Morrison Formation is well-known for the sauropods that dominated the region. These include Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Diplodocus. There were also small theropods like Ornitholestes, and ornithischians like Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, Nanosaurus, the ankylosaur Gargoyleosaurus, and Stegosaurus. There were both aquatic and terrestrial crocodylomorphs like Hoplosuchus, and pterosaurs such as Harpactognathus and Mesadactylus. Ceratosaurus and related species of most of the Morrison Formation’s fauna have also been found in the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal, along with the sauropods Dinheirosaurus and Zby, and the stegosaur Miragaia.

So it seems that I do really love drawing pterosaurs. It’s so much fun. Names of them: Harpactognathus - Cycnorhamphus - Caviramus Hamipterus - Zhenyuanopterus

My 22nd to 24th entries for Jurassic July 2023, from left to right: Eustreptospondylus, Galeamopus, and Harpsctognathus

[sargassos]

Because there are 32 pages in this coloring book, I have 2 pictures for Dinovember today! They’re meant to mirror each other.

For the first, a herd of diplodocus walk along a beach! Meanwhile, in the second, a harpactognathus catches a breeze above them, surveying the herd as it passes. He’s not a dinosaur of course, but he shared life in the Morrison Formation with them! There will be a few other non dinosaur flying and marine reptiles included in this series as well.

EDIT, 1/11/22: This entire Dinovember series has been compiled and is now available for purchase on Gumroad! The pages can be printed, or thrown into a digital program! Check it out HERE!

I love nasty men being nasty~ Sierra is definitely the MOST handful out of Harp's darling lovers~

Pterosaur shenanigans- I originally used Shilo for these two boys but- soon made variant of him because the size difference got--- TIRESOME-

He's a Harpactognathus and I've enjoyed drawing him *alot* so far
