Dirt The Ankylosaurus

My new OC, who was born out of thinking "what kind of dinosaur would Michael Myers be?" A grumpy old anky nicknamed Dirt. Even he won't remember his real name anymore. He had already seen a lot in his life, but he was not prepared for the fact that in his seventh decade he would have to survive alone again. Limping, he was forced to flee from his native Swamps. But what awaits him next?

You will be taken to a remote facility to undergo the transformation and after it is complete, you will be released to roam freely alongside others who were also turned into dinosaurs.

Once you have cast your vote, please reply which individual species from the group you chose you would like to become!

hanging with my favourite dinosaur, ❤ MINMI ❤

Minmi paravertebra was small (2.5-3m long) and lived in Australia like me. Perhaps in another life we could have been friends. At least I can draw him having a fun eating apples

#Maysozoic Day 3 - Sauropelta

i was very busy yesterday so im gonna have to do two today whoopsies

here's the prompt list:

[new-dinosaurs]

Datai yinliangis Xing et al., 2024 (new genus and species)

(Skulls of Datai yinliangis, from Xing et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: Datai = combination of select characters from the Chinese phrases for "to understand" and "stable"; yinliangis = for the Yingliang Group [stone company that operates the Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum, where the original fossils are housed]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Turonian–Coniacian), between 90–96 million years ago

Where found: Zhoutian Formation, Jiangxi, China

How much is known: Partial skeletons of two individuals, both primarily known from the front half of the body.

Notes: Datai was an ankylosaurine ankylosaur, a group of armored dinosaurs known for their distinctive tail club. It is unique among ankylosaurs in having a pair of small horns protruding from either side of its face. It is also known to have had a large number of small bony nodules forming chainmail-like armor on its throat, a feature that has been found in some other ankylosaurs but is often not preserved.

The two known specimens of Datai both represent juvenile individuals, and were found with the head of one resting on top of the other's. Groups of juveniles have also been found preserved together in another ankylosaurine, Pinacosaurus from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia and China, which may suggest that social behavior was widespread in juvenile ankylosaurs.

Datai is the first dinosaur (and vertebrate of any sort) to be reported from the Zhoutian Formation based on skeletal remains. Previously described dinosaur fossils from this rock unit have been limited to eggshells.
