Year in Review 2024 • I can safely say this year was 10/10 on the art vibes front; I went back to my roots as a horror enthusiast full throttle. Refining Skeinridge, Odregard and rolling with the aesthetics/themes I love the most has been rewarding— home is where the heart is and all that.
#krok.png#Year in Review#OC Art#OC#Horror#Tarot#Okay now I'm done sounding very calm and normal#I made PROGRESS this year (me ripping the curtain down)#I took my writing out of the public eye for various but that's allowed me to really Write#Despite having a new league of Agony to deal with I'm having fun with my work again#Camera pans out to where I'm gripping Koil by the head#Thank you to my best friend for your creative company#Your fucking technical help too#Next year is the year of the brushies

The Water Scene in Catching Fire Defines how Peeta, Finnick, and Katniss Eat pussy.
I’m sorry, but I believe this wholeheartedly .
Peeta Mellark is gentle, smooth, and soft. His tongue leaves trails in brushy strokes against your clit, lips wrapped around the swollen bud and suckling. He uses his fingers to slowly curl into your sweet spot— the tips of them massage your inner walls perfectly, and he lets out tiny whimpers as he devours your cunt. He may talk, mumbling out tiny praises against your lips, blushing like a schoolgirl with a crush.
“Love your pussy, love it so much..”
“squeezing my fingers so good, can’t wait for you to squeeze my cock, baby.”
“Cum, please please cum all over me… I’ll be a good boy!”
He eats you out anytime you ask him to, and sometimes a lot of the time when he feels like using his tongue. When he cums, he’ll do it grinding himself against your leg like a desperate, whimpering puppy. <3
Finnick O’Dair is wild, untamed, and sloppy. His mouth devours you as he fucks your hole with his tongue, his fingers bruising against your thighs as he laps at your cunt. Groans spill from his lips, and honestly he’s too busy tasting you to speak. But sometimes, if you’re being extra bratty, he loves to slap your thighs and pull away with his chin dripping with slick to scold you.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop squirming? Keep your fucking legs open.”
“If you yank my hair like that again, you aren’t getting my mouth for a month.”
“what’d I tell you, huh? Don’t make me have to duct tape that pretty mouth shut.”
Oh my god, he literally is always between your legs. He mostly always initiates it because he just loves your pussy so much, and you get shy when asking him. Sometimes he’ll pull out his cock and jerk it sloppily between your legs and ride out his high by marking his cum all over your lips. <3
Katniss Everdeen is skilled, precise, calculated. Her mouth latches onto your pussy without a second thought, the tip of her tongue rubbing circles into your clit. She presses her fingers deep, draws out orgasm after orgasm. She doesn’t care if you say it’s too much. Her mouth will move hot between your legs and she’ll make you cum over and over again until she wants to stop. She respects your boundaries, of course, but in this case you almost always ask her to push you over your limits. She’ll tell you where to put your hands, or where to guide her when she’s eating you so she can get it just right.
“No, I said to put them over your head. Don’t make me tell you again, okay?”
“How many times have you came? Three? Four? Oh, that’s cute. But you’re going to have to give me one more.”
“Grab my hair, not too hard— just like that. There’s my good girl.”
She does it when you suggest, or when she’s stressed and needs a snack distraction. When she cums, she does it by letting you return the favor. Your mouth kisses up her thighs, and you practically drool as you settle yourself between her legs <3

(my tags from the original post)
Jason Grace who finally has enough and turns around and snaps at the people who poke and prod at him about being perfect. His team loses ten seconds in a race because someone tripped and fell and they stopped to help, and someone on one of the lower-ranking teams makes an offhanded comment about how Jason probably wished they hadn't wasted the time and they kinda nudge him like he's in on the joke but he turns around and shoves them flat onto their ass instead. He kicks dirt on them. He says, "don't even begin to act like you know what's going on inside my head," through gritted teeth with a voice that's just a shade more voice than growl.
I want Jason Grace playing a secret role board game and everybody keeps joking that Jason can't possibly be the villain because he'd give himself up, that's just how perfect Jason Grace is, he can't even fake being evil for thirty minutes, haha, meanwhile Jason grips tighter and tighter to the little traitor token in his pocket and loses the game, because he got lost in making that one specific person miserable.
Camp-wide truth or dare where people keep giving Jason all the tame fetch-quest type dares like they all think he'd immediately protest to anything even slightly straying from the rules to the point that he starts targeting other people with the worst dares he can think of, asking the nastiest truths, things that go beyond petty gossip into realities. They decide to end the game early because he asked one of the Aphrodite boys if it was true he laughed while his capture the flag teammate nearly bled out last weekend.
Jason Grace who had all of his wolf traits beaten out of him by a merciless system that couldn't see who he was beyond a name, a son, a soldier, so when he bares his teeth it's not to threaten he'll physically bite yknow. Because when he snaps it's not his jaw it's his tongue you need to worry about.
Jason Grace who is a menace, and not in a good cute fun way. Jason Grace who is a bully and an asshole and he sucks and he deserves it.
#self rb#Jason Grace#PJO#hoo#take two; tumblr glitched and reblogged my additions to this post onto someone else’s post now I feel bad#but#I was right about this#Nico di Angelo#I wish I remember what that hockey AU idea was#this has me thinking about a fun jason and hazel relationship#where everyone thinks they’re the two uptight rule following brushy people meanwhile they’re like#the botchiest meanest people at camp#and they let each other be assholes because they know everybody else expects differently of them#they’re vindictive and they like that about each other

Part 4 of the Linked Universe Winged Au! This time around we've got our favorite short king, Four!
<<< Previous Next >>>
Starting off strong with more fun facts about birds, Painted Buntings are mainly known and recognized for their bright, colorful plumage to the point where they are oftentimes referred to as, "Nature's Living Box of Crayons".
Now aside from the obvious similarities in color schemes and the absolute CRIME it would be to choose any other bird for Four, my interpretation of Four and his personality also share many similarities with those of a Painted Bunting. For example, these birds most commonly lurk in low, dense covers of brushy areas and woodland edges which is incredibly similar to what he did in his adventures all throughout Minish Cap.
On top of that, Painted Buntings also have a tendency to be very independent and fiercely territorial. Because of this, I headcanon that despite his generally calm exterior and his short height, Four is by far the Link who's most ready to throw hands at a moments notice and is willing to dive bomb enemies should the need arise, even more so than Wild.
However, while Four does share certain behavioral traits of a Painted Bunting in this Winged Au, his appearance is actually a result of the combination of all his other "selves" or "colors".
Four was still very young when he began his adventure in Four Swords to the point where he actually hadn't lost his baby feathers yet before starting his journey. However, when he drew the Four Sword and split into four separate individuals, all four of those "colors" not only had different personalities like in both the manga and comic, but different wings and colors as well. Because of this, by the end of his adventure when they merged into a united whole again, his wings took on a combined mix of all the colors to resemble that of a Painted Bunting.
Anyways, that was a lot but that's all for now folks! As always kudos to all those who read through that mini lore dump and thank you all again for being so nice and supportive! Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for who or what you would like to see next!
#my art#winged au#LUWAU#Linked Universe: Winged AU#linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu four#loz#loz link#legend of zelda#I would just like to thank @minty-mumbles for their mermaid au oneshot where they made Four a beta fish#Really cemented the idea of aggressive and territorial Four despite seemingly being the level-headed Link for me#I'll be honest Im a little scared cause I did this drawing over the course of like 36 hours which for me is VERY not normal#Im usually a 3-5 business days kind of artist#Anyways have I mentioned how much I love Four???#Cause it's a lot#His design is just *chefs kiss*#*pats his head* this bad boy can hold so much gender in him

Miss Amy, how would you react to stumbling upon a ticklish girl in a sticky situation? Say she’s gotten herself stuck through a trap door, with her arms and head through one side and the rest of her body through the other. And uh oh, she’s nude and oh so sensitive all over her body…just begging for tickles. Would you make her gigglegasm over and over again, would you taunt her and coo little teases at her.
Just curious👀
Why of course I'd do exactly what an adorable stuck cutie needs and that's to come around to your blushy helpless face and give you all my faux concern. "Awww what happened here huh? You got your little booty stuck in that mean ol' trap door? Oooh such a meanie, that thing is always catching cutie patooties with the cutie tushies. Now, the thing is, we can't just pull you free noooo. That wouldn't be good for you and wouldn't be good for the door either. Yes, we love our precious door. And so there is a way to get you out lickey split and we're gonna do that. So first I neeeed ahhh~" I grin as I talk fast through the explanation, reaching seemingly to nowhere and returning with a stiff white feather. "Let's start here, shall we? Ooh look at this one, this is a good feather mhmm. Soo soft on the edge yet stiff enough to make all the difference." I run my fingers over my tool and snicker squeak at the sensation before I turn it towards you, pointing at your silly self in the trap door. "Now now now we can't have you stuck in here and the only way you're gonna wriggle free is with some, ahem, unorthodox treatments. Now tell me, are you ticklish?"
I probe and inquire yet don't give you time to respond as I draw the feather tip up along face to your ears, quickly picking up another to taunt your other side and neck. "Coochie coooo ~ just let it all out now." I murmur matter of fact as I work my feathers all over your face and upper chest, sketching ticklyy masterpieces on your lovely sensitive skin. Upon unceremoniously dropping my feathers, I dart back to the table of tools and in a fluid motion show you the softness of the fluffy duster and head quickly to your other side to begin employing my new tool between your legs.
"Tickles, doesn't it?"
With a knowing smile I flutter my tool across your thighs while I reach under and tickle at your kneepits. "ticklish ticklish legsssss" I speak so sweetly, working the feathers all over your belly and waist and thighs, just trying to get arousal going. And once I've grown attired of the duster, I toss it aside and return to the front so I can grin so tauntingly at you as I produce a container of massage oil and an ultra supple body brush. I carefully open the oil and begin oiling up my brushy. "You know where it's goin~" I snicker making sure you see alll the preparation before I scamper around to your backside again.
"Ahhh ahhhhh ~ that does ittttt~" With careful precision my brush begins going up and down your royal parts, gliding with the soft oils all the way upppp to your button, all the wayyy downnnnn~
"Coochie cooooo~" I laugh it out loud, rolling the wand along your undies while I lean in and start peppering you with kisses though not before making you select the shade of the tinglyyyy lip prints~~
"There we goooo look at youuuuu pretty girl ~ making all those sparkles for your tickle mama mmmmh?"
Your first gigglegasm only encourages me further, as come back around and oil up my fingers in front of you ~ and I raise the speed and taunt your feet with skittery tickles. "Tickle tickle tiiiickle" I taunt, reaching up further on your legs before departing a moment only to return with a vengeance skittering your hips to your sides to your waisttt. "Let's seeeee how many sparklyyy fireworks we can make tonight hmmm?"
(note~~ I'm on so little sleep, through a stressful week which is already starting into another stressful week so if anything here is nonsensical that's whyyyy I had to stop and trim off a lot of times which I don't usually dooo but this post kept getting eaten by thoughts of kings and queens and warriors in the dark, getting stuck somehow in homes and restaurants ~anywayyy all the loves for you loves and I'm hoping to have more time sooon ~<33)

I am not a fan of snow, but I need to walk, so I went to the cemetery. I left the binder at the office, and figured if I managed 20 minutes that would be okay.
I felt like that was probably plenty, and decided that since I was near one of my favorite headstones, that of Hettie Mason, I would go see her in the snow, and then get back on the path to head out.
As I turned around to walk towards the path, I saw this:
Those are my footprints as I started to walk, and then backtracked to look at the coyote prints. The coyote!! So, I followed them. Slowly. I have no intention of making the coyotes nervous, and have learned how to behave around them.
I had a pretty good idea of where the tracks would lead; to the brushy area where they hide out, and I see their paw prints in the mud after rainy days.
It ended up being a solid walk, and actually fun.

Patreon request for @/rome.and.stuff (Instagram handle) - Saurophaganax maximus
Saurophaganax maximus was an allosaurid from Late Jurassic Oklahoma, USA. Reaching 10.5 metres (34 ft) in length and weighing 2.7–3.8 metric tons (3.0–4.2 short tons), it was the largest terrestrial carnivore in North America during the Late Jurassic, bigger than both its contemporaries Torvosaurus tanneri and Allosaurus fragilis. Some scientists argue that it was in fact a species of Allosaurus (making it “Allosaurus maximus”), but possible Saurophaganax material found in New Mexico may shed light on the genus. With a name meaning "lord of lizard-eaters", it was likely the apex predator of its environment.
Found in the Brushy Basin member of the Morrison Formation, Saurophaganax would have had a multitude of prey species to choose from. These ranged from small ornithischians like Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, and Fruitadens, armoured thyreophorans like Gargoyleosaurus, Mymoorapelta, Hesperosaurus, and Stegosaurus, to a diverse array of giant sauropods like Haplocanthosaurus, Amphicoelias, Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Barosaurus, Diplodocus, Kaatedocus, Supersaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Camarasaurus. Small theropods included Coelurus, Hesperornithoides, Tanycolagreus, and Ornitholestes.
The Morrison didn’t only have a large diversity of dinosaurs. Many pseudosuchians lived alongside Saurophaganax, from the skittering, long-legged Hallopus to the more aquatic Amphicotylus. Pterosaurs were uncommon but widespread, and included rhamphorhynchids like Harpactognathus and ctenochasmatids like Kepodactylus. Other reptiles like rhynchocephalians, lizards, basal snakes, and turtles were common as well. Many cynodonts, mostly early mammals, also called the Morrison home.
The Morrison Formation was also rife with other large predators that could have been either competitors or prey to Saurophaganax themselves. These include the previously mentioned Allosaurus and Torvosaurus, as well as the smaller Ceratosaurus nasicornis and Marshosaurus bicentesimus. As Allosaurus seemed to be the most numerous predators in this formation, they may have been successful pack hunters while Saurophaganax was more of a “lone wolf.” Its remains are much rarer than that of its smaller, lither cousins, and it was likely an opportunistic scavenger and hunter, needing much more food to power its larger frame.

I ended up getting three asks about the Morgoth’s Evil Cats thing so instead of answering the same question three times I shall simply make one big post
@theghostinthemargins @ymfingsteadilyon
Okay, so we’re all aware of Tevildo right? Evil cat Maia? How aware are we of Miaulë (female, Tevildo’s cook), Umuiyan (male, doorkeeper for Tevildo), and Oikeroi (male, warrior under Tevildo)?
If you weren’t, now you are
Anyway. Imagine, if you will, being a quartet of cats who somehow survived the Valar sieging Melkor’s fortresses, and the guy standing in charge in the rubble is some self-important dog person who free roams his fucking werewolves all over the place. You can no longer thrive in this household, you are packing your little rucksacks and leaving.
Leaving where? Well... you guess you’ll go sneak into Valinor and check on the Big Boss, you were pretty happy under his employ once upon a time. But the only sneaky way in is, uh... the Helcaraxë. Now, the Big Boss may make crossing it look easy enough but he invented cold! Most Ainu don’t actually care for it no matter how well they endure it.
So now you’re in Araman and you have to wear the guise of normal ass cats or risk being discovered and captured as spies. Which would be personally very inconvenient. So now you’re a very bedraggled quartet of Maia cats by the time you get to the only opening in the Pelóri; the Calacirya where Tirion-upon-Túna lies.
And this is what Maitimo finds while out hiking, and either natural elven compassion for living creatures, or perhaps just plain conditioned reflex from wee brothers (mostly Tyelko) bringing home pathetic injured animals for nursing, has him going, awww poor lil guys, you want some help? And Tevildo and co. normally would gut him on principle buuuut... Maitimo has food. And gentle hands. Is practically a space heater with his inner fire. Plus, he’s carrying them up to Tirion, so fine, whatever, they agree he’s their new servant now. They can just recover in his home real quick and then carry on with their quest.
Naturally, they feel no inclination to leave where they’re being pampered with fresh fish, and chin scritches, and brushies, and all the praise they deserve, and also Laurelin beams are amazing to sleep in? What the hell, there were no Laurelin beams under Big Boss!
As it turns out, evil cat behavior is nigh indistinguishable from normal needy, high strung, asshole cat behavior.
Picture, if you will, the look on Melkor’s face the first time he enters Finwë’s palace, and there is Maitimo pinned to a couch in a Laurelin beam by Melkor’s evil cats, what the hell.
Tevildo and co. are not going back to work under a guy who doesn’t give fish, or chin scritches, or warm beams of light to sleep in, no sir. Shove it up your ass, Big Not-Boss.
Melkor: Oh, that’s just rich. When I demand special treatment, it’s unfair. When I enslave elves, it’s evil. When I make people bleed to express my displeasure, it’s cruel. But when you four do it--
Tevildo and co.: *yawn* Should have been a cat 🙄
Naturally, when Melkor’s scheming starts interfering in their Maitimo time, something has to be done about Melkor once and for all

[video desc: 30 seconds of a white and orange short-haired dog getting brushed with a metal brush, some fur chunks flying away as he sheds. /end]
A GoFundMe Update
It's been a rough month. Our vet was amazing, and Rory's remains are home and with my roommate, where he belongs. The time since has been spent grieving, spring cleaning, and reorienting ourselves back to our normal schedules. [I was nocturnal for so long and it sucked. I missed the sun. Not so much the heat, though.] I'm ending May with a tired, desperate hope that things will get better. If I can get the raised amount to $3,900, that'll get me to half of the debt gone. That's $200 worth of monthly bills I no longer have to continue stressing over. $245 of that is my CareCredit account that I use for Aengus' vet care, and would let me keep taking him in for regular check-ups and his flea meds. His skin issues have totally cleared up since I took him in last, and his energy has noticeably improved! He's officially considered a senior dog, so I'm high-key trying to get to a position where I can make sure he spends his old dog years feeling good. For now, though, I've attached some good Aengo Brushies content for your viewing enjoyment. [Not pictured: the pile of fur that I could've made a second, baby Aengus out of] So, the current state of thing stands like this: - 100% of Need: $4,915 - 50% of Need: $2,500 Thank you all so much for your boosts, donations, and wonderful, kind messages. I said recently that my gratitude would never be enough to repay all the support I've received, but I certainly have an abundance of it. Thank you.

🚨PLEASE HELP SAVE LUCKY THE CAT FROM HEARTBREAKING ABUSE AND NEGLECT, AND STOP A MAJOR PUBLICATION FROM PROFITING OFF OF ANIMAL ABUSE🚨
Back in August, The Cut (@thecut), an online division of New York Mag (@nymag), published a story by an anonymous woman who, after giving birth to her baby, started to despise her cat Lucky and chose to abuse her, including starving her and leaving her to live in filth.
Some selections about Lucky from the article:
Obviously, openly admitting to chilling animal abuse did not go over well with The Cut's readers. People were rightfully outraged at both the anonymous writer and the magazine for publishing the article and profiting off of animal abuse. After the predictable backlash, The Cut put the article behind a paywall and added an editor's note to the beginning, claiming that they confirmed the welfare of the cat prior to publication. (Here is an archived version without the paywall. Look at a more recent capture to see the note that was added.) The magazine also made a post to their Instagram about the situation, reiterating their claim of confirming Lucky's safety and health. They are limiting comments on their socials to remove comments that relate to the backlash about Lucky's abuse, and they are blocking accounts that comment on it. A screenshot of the Instagram post is below.
(note: I cannot confirm or deny the claims of racism and misogyny. I have not seen anything like that myself, but someone on reddit claimed they saw a person call the anonymous woman's behavior "white woman bullshit." That is the extent of what I have heard on that. I also cannot comment on the claims of abuse and threats towards the staff).
Clearly, The Cut's claims about Lucky's welfare are bullshit. The resolution of the article ends with the author saying simply "I haven't fallen back in love with Lucky, but it could still happen. I'll shut the windows til then." According to the article itself, Lucky is still in the home with an owner who is abusing her, an owner who has, and I quote, "an unwillingness... to change anything about (the abuse)." By definition, this means Lucky's welfare is not being probably cared for. You cannot claim that Lucky is ok when her owner already said that she is abusing her and is unwilling to stop the abuse. New York Mag is hiding behind activism buzzwords to protect an animal abuser and shelter themselves from the justified backlash to their publication's choices so they can continue to profit off of animal abuse.
Please please please help to get a real update about Lucky's condition.
What can I do?
There is a change.org petition requesting a real update about her, which as of writing has over 17,000 signatures. You can also reach out to the magazines' staff and demand a real update from them. Their emails are listed below:
[email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected] | [email protected]
The email of Jim Bankoff, the Chairman and CEO of vox media (which owns New York Mag) is [email protected]
Here is an email template that you can follow.
You can also report online animal abuse to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) here.
If you are in New York, you can contact the 311 website or call 1-800-577-TIPS (1-800-577-8477) to report ongoing online animal abuse or neglect.
The Instagram account @lucilletherescuecat has a story highlight where she has posted several resources in addition to the ones mentioned here.
My heart deeply aches for poor Lucky, who cannot understand why the human she loves has changed so drastically. Why her life changed from daily brushies and pillow snuggles to being ignored and starved. She used to have her own space heater, and now she doesn't even have water. I'm devastated at the thought of how heartbroken and miserable she must be. Her owner even admitted that she would be in jail if she did this to a person. While I doubt this will result in a jail sentence, we can at least make sure that Lucky is rehomed to place where she is properly cared for.
Please share and encourage others to do the same, using the #SAVELUCKYTHECAT hashtag. Thank you so much for reading.

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.
Robust, spatulate, broad-crowned teeth.
Crests formed by large, protruding nasal.
Elongate metacarpals.
Forelimbs longer than hindlimbs.
Now here's a list of important or interesting macronarians:
ABROSAURUS
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
Discovered in 2005 in Queensland, Australia, the "southern giant" is the largest dinosaur found on the island continent.
CAMARASAURUS
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.
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
It was discovered in 1913 by a Catholic priest names Father R. Mertens and was the first dinosaur scientifically investigated in China.
FUKUITITAN
Described in 2010, this titanosaur from Japan is just fun to say.
LOURINHASAURUS
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
A brachiosaurid from the early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation. An adult and juvenile were found in 1998 in the Poison Strip Member.
ABYDOSAURUS
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
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
Another brachiosaurid found in the Cedar Mountain Formation but in the Yellow Cat Member. Seems brachiosaurids lasted a bit in North America.
EUROPASAURUS
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
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
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
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.
