#carcharadontosaurus

[photon-bytez]

I know that people brought up how Baxcalibur is based on Concavenator, but I feel like it should be worth noting that this is our first Pokemon based on a carcharodontosaurid theropod of any kind.

Not Tyrannosaurus Rex 🦖, but instead it’s another super predator which name means ‘Land Shark’ for the teeth design of what you’d see in a Great White Shark and hence its Latin name: Carcharadontosaurus. Nice to see diversity on a tshirt with the large amount of Dinosaur Species recorded currently.

Lovin’ these theropod lads!

Next ten Vivosaurs! Getting closer to dromaeosaurs...

A Hundred Some New ATOM Kaiju Pt. 1

So, for about five years or so now I've had, oh, a hundred or so ATOM kaiju sketches that have just been sitting waiting for me to ink and color them. But I've come to accept that I just cannot produce art as quickly as I did in my twenties, and the prospect of me actually finding time/energy/a lack of throbbing pain in my hands to do so is, uh... slim. And I think that's kind of sad, because these guys deserve to have some time to shine.

So, over the next couple days (because I'm pretty sure Tumblr's image posting limit won't let me do it all at once) I'm going to share them with you, for my own enjoyment. And we'll start, as is proper, with some retrosaurs.

First, some from the tiny tyrant clade. We've got a Jurassic Park dilophosaur homage and one inspired by Saltopusuchus (my dad's favorite dinosaur from his childhood dinosaur book, purely because he pronounced its name "SaltopoSUCKus" - unfortunately for my dad, saltoposuchus is actually a crocodylomorph, though there is a dinosaur named Saltopus. Maybe his childhood book was confused?). There's a trio of ceolophysis-inspired ones who I envisioned as a sort of kaiju Team Rocket - they're got arm membranes to show that they're sort of a missing link between Tiny Tyrants and Flying Tyrants, and because it makes them look like they've got little dramatic villain capes. And a more 80's style dromaeosaur-inspired retrosaur than Colossaraptor, who obviously takes more from 90's retrosaur dromaeosaurs/JP raptors.

Next, a pair of Flying Tyrants. The first was a result of me looking at a Quetzalcoatlus skeleton and thinking just how fucking weird their proportions were, and the later is inspired by rhamphorhynchus, perhaps one of the most fucked up little guys in the fossil record.

The final four of this section: a primitive carnivorous retrosaur inspired by the Crystal Palace Megalosaurus statue, a Bronton-sized True Tyrant inspired by the exaggerated depictions of Giganotosaurus in pop culture, a shark-like true tyrant inspired by Carcharadontosaurus, and finally... Tirontus. Tirontus is specifically inspired by the the 1960 film adaptation of The Lost World:

Which uses perhaps the most reprehensible of all atom age special effects, slurpasaurs. And I feel like even in its time no one bought this shit - any child would take the scene where Claude Rains says, "Look, a tyrannosaurus rex!" at what is clearly an iguana with rubber horns glued to its head and say, "That's not at all what a T.rex looks like. I've read books, dude." It's ridiculous.

And wouldn't it be funny if there was an ATOM story where some scientist finds a retrosaur kaiju that looks like, well, just a big lizard, and tries to pass it off as another Tyrantis? "No, no, this isn't just a big iguana, it's a tyrannosaurus rex!" So that's Tirontus, the false Tyrantis.

My big idea for Genie Team Season 10

Well, this is my 500th post, so I thought I’d talk about something big. That being one big idea I have for Grantgfan’s Genie Team season 10.

With that being the 10th season, I thought that my idea for it would be pretty big too. And my idea for The Genie Team season 10 is… the genies, their masters, and their friends finding out the realization of dinosaurs (and other prehistoric creatures) all around the world.

And this whole thing would be teased at the end of season 9, where a large map of the world with thumbtacks stuck in it, with each one depicting a known location of dinosaur sightings. They’d be 14 in all (at the moment); with 5 in North America, 3 in South America, 4 in Africa, 1 in Indonesia, and 1 in Australia. And as season 10 progresses, more thumbtacks would be added to the map, with a different color representing a different wave; like red for wave 1, blue for wave 2, green for wave 3, and yellow for wave 4.

And speaking of waves, the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures would make appearances in the several waves below. WAVE 1: Dryosaurus, Gallimimus, Homalocephale, Kentrosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Styracosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Corythosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Albertosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Velociraptor, Acrocanthosaururs, Allosaurus, Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurs Rex, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Carcharadontosaurus, Alioramus, Apatosaurus, Baryonyx, Compsognathus, Deinonychus, Diplodocus, Iguanodon, Maiasaura, Ornithomimus, Panoplosaurus, Tenontosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Wuerosaurus, Yangchuanosaurus, Pteranodon, Dimorphodon, Mosasaurus, and Tylosaurus.

WAVE 2: Othnielia, Hypsilophodon, Mamenchisaurus, Supersaurus, Brontosaurus, Ultrasaurus, Lambeosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Anatotitan, Olorotitan, Tsintaosaurus, Saurolophus, Hadrosaurus, Altirhinus, Centrosaurus, Einiosaurus, Pentaceratops, Euoplocephalus, Protoceratops, Psittacosaurus, Avaceratops, Microceratus, Orodrmeus, Gastonia, Edmontonia, Altirhinus, Brachylophosaurus, Gryposaurus, Hoplitosaurus, Stegoceras, Prenocephale, Tuojiangosaurus, Lexovisaurus, Paranthodon, Miragaia, Struthiomimus, Troodon, Proceratosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Torvosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Desplatosaurus, Suchomimus, Irritator, Procompsognathus, Ornitholestes, Cearadactylus, Geosternbergia, Nyctosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Plesiosaurus, and Styxosaurus.

WAVE 3: Dreadnoughtus, Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Paralititan, Patagotitan, Sauroposeidon, Puertasaurus, Therizinosaurus, Convolosaurus, Leaellynasaurua, Stenopelix, Garudimimus, Wannanosaurus, Parkosaurus, Nipposaurus, Callovosaurus, Segnosaurus, Deinocheirus, Leptoceratops, Plateosaurus, Mussaurus, Melanosaurus, Oviraptor, Gigantoraptor, Caudipteryx, Lesothosaurus, Camptosaurus, Camposaurus, Yutyrannus, Rugops, Utahraptor, Dakotaraptor, Austroraptor, Sinosauropteryx, Mapusaurus, Tyrannotitan, Giganotosaurus, Gorogasaurus, Chirostenotes, Sinraptor, Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus, Archaeopteryx, Epidexipteryx, Caelestiventus, Tupuxuara, Zhenyuanopterus, Tropeognathus, Ornithocheirus, Hatzegopteryx, Alanqa, Hainosaurus, Icthyosaurus, Dakosaurus, Pliosaurus, and Temnodontasaurus.

WAVE 4: Shunosaurus, Saltasaurus, Nigersaurus, Amaragasaurus, Sinoceratops, Nasutoceratops, Agujaceratops, Chasmosaurus, Chungkingosaurus, Gigantspinosaurus, Dravidosaurus, Nodosaurus, Sauropelta, Minmi, Muttaburrasaurus, Dracorex, Stygimoloch, Dromiceimimus, Coelophysis, Eoraptor, Syntasaurus, Staurikosaurus, Saltopus, Shamosaurus, Struthiosaurus, Masiakasaurus, Eustreptospobdylus, Monolophosaurus, Limnoscelis, Labyrinthodontia, Diplocaulus, Koolosuchus, Metriorhynchus, Microposaurus, Sarcosuchus, Deinosuchus, Ichthyostega, Eogyrinus, Cacops, Seymouria, Prinoshuchus, Acanthostega, Eryops, Mastodonsaurus, Metoposaurus, Nothosaurus, Tanystropheus, Mesosaurus, Cryptoclidus, Kronosaurus, Liopleurodon, Shonisaurus, Onchopristus, Protostega, Archelon, Globidens, Ramphorhyncus, Ludodactylus, Scaphognathus, Tupandactylus, Azdarcho, Anomalocaris, Hallucigenia, Pterygotus, Ammonite, Cladoselache, Dunkleosteus, Eustenopteron, Hylonomus, Dimetrodon, Scutosaurus, Kannemeyeria, and Lystrosaurus.

That’s the four main waves of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and other prehistoric creatures that’ll appear in Genie Team season 10. It’s a lot of species, I know, but it’ll help in making season 10 of Grantgfan’s Genie Team even bigger. And I’d gladly help him in figuring out the scripts for future episodes of season 10.

Total is four, actually!

Well...three on-screen, we've yet to meet Major.

⚠️ potential jwct season 2 spoilers ⚠️

Okay, I'm 100% looking way too deep into this, but looking at what has been revealed. The campers are going to Africa, and one of the antagonistic dinosaurs for the season will be a suchomimus

Along with that, we are also maybe getting a majungasaurus of the name of major. Making that two african dinosaurs so far

You know who else is a african dinosaur-

(This is just a coincidence, but I wanna be delusional)

[fishsfailureson]

trying to make a spreadsheet containing every genus of dinosaur to keep track of which ones I have drawn and I just realised I forgot to add Carcharadontosaurus which is embarassing

[tehuti88-art]

11/19/23: r/SketchDaily theme, "Prehistoric Week: Carcharadontosaurus [sic]." Lots of these look the same to me. Tyrannosaur-looking boi, unsure if I missed identifying details (top drawing). Nobody seems to know the color of these things so I chose. Deleted underlying sketch (bottom drawing).

[smylealong]

@arlothia, thank you so much, girl. You did a great job combining these and I LOVE THIS TO BITS! And to have that picture of the Carcharadontosaurus and human skull as the header? *Chef's kiss*.

It happens to be one of my favorite pictures and there could not have been a better header for this one. It may not come as a surprise to you that I actually saw the beautiful animals and did not see the guys that much. Yes, I am that big of a Paleo Nerd.

And I need to talk about the animals you included (I'll reply to both posts here, so for anyone interested, the other post is here.) So I'm about to go on a nerd monologue. Putting the monologue below the cut. Proceed with caution.

First up is Therizinosaurs. Arguably one of my favorite dinosaurs. Despite belonging to the clade Theropoda, and those Edward Scissorhands claws, Therizinosaurs was a herbivore. It lived during the late Cretaceous, around 70 million years ago.

Next is Deinonychus. A dromerosaurid theropod dinosaur, this was the dinosaur the Jurrasic Park's velociraptor was based on. Micheal Crichton sat with Paleontologist John Ostrom multiple times to understand the look and behavior of the animal, but changed the name to Velociraptor for the dramatic effect.

Carnotaurus. Oh what a lovely choice! A theropod dinosaur with cute little horns. Carnotaurus belongs to the family Abeliosauridae, which means they were to the Southern Hemisphere what the Tyrannosauridae were to the Northern Hemisphere. They lived during the late Cretaceous, around 71 million years ago.

Nanuqsaurus. Fantastic choice again. A Tyrannosaurid Theropod dinosaur that lived in the poles. Because of its environment, it was much smaller (almost half) than its more famous cousin, T-Rex. Nanuqsaurus is known by a holotype specimen. Meaning, it is known by just a single fossil specimen.

Spinosaurus. OOF. What do I even say about this one? There is so much to say about this one that it could lead to an hour long podcast. The only known semiaquatic theropod dinosaur, this creature hunted both in water and in land. Which makes it the largest known terrestrial theropod carnivore. Living in the late Cretaceous (99-93.5 million years), this dinosaur lived in a rather hostile environment and competed for resources with fishes, crocodilomorphs, lizards, turtles, pterosaurs and plesiosaurs. It's semiaquatic adaptation must have given it a significant advantage.

Last in this post is Oviraptor. At 5.2ft, Oviraptor was a rather small feathered Oviraptorid. Known from a holotype specimen which was found with about 15 eggs, the dinosaur was named Oviraptor or egg-thief, because it was assumed that it had stolen those eggs. However, after the discovery of other oviraptorids in similar nesting positions, scientists realized that the posture actually indicated parental care.

Now I move to the second post and go to Ankylosaurus. This dude was armored to the hilt! Right from the nose, down to its tail, it was heavily armored. The largest known specimen was about 6 to 8 meters (20-26 feet) long and weighed about 4.8-8 metric tons. It also had a large club at the end of its tail that could break bones.

Thank you Arlo for including Coelophysis (pronounced SEE-lo-FY-sis) in the list. Coelophysis was a small, ground-dwelling theorpod dinosaur. Living during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic (221.5-196 million years ago) , Coelophysis is one of the earliest known dinosaur genera.

Tarbosaurus's expanded name is Tarbosaurus Bataar. The fossil remains have been found in Mongolia. Although many species have been named, Tarbosaurus Bataar remains the only one that is been accepted by the modern scientists. A member of the Tyrannosaurid family, Tarbosaurus lived during the late Cretaceous.

Living in the late Triassic (210-203 Million Years), Eudimorphodon is one of the oldest known Pterosaurs. With a wingspan of about 100cms, it was a small Pterosaur. Based on its teeth, scientists think that it had a largely insectivore diet.

Microraptor is a small dromaesaurid dinosaur that proves the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds. With four wings, it probably glided from tree to tree. Living in the early Cretaceous (120 million years ago), microraptors were abundant. At 2.53ft and 1 kilogram, microraptor is one of the smallest known non-avian dinosaur.

Happy Birthday Lea!!!

A very happy birthday to my wonderful friend @smylealong...PART ONE!!!!!

I am SO happy you've listed your favorite dinosaurs and even MORE happy that they match the number of your favorite Asian actors in our very scientific study and they're pretty evenly split, C and K :P

So first up, to keep it alphabetical, are the Chinese actors!

Open your present below the cut! ;)

[tyrantisterror]

Having discovered, much to my delight, that you are a fellow fan of WALKING WITH DINOSAURS may I please ask if you have a favourite episode? (I'm inclined to GIANT OF THE SKIES - Iguanadon may well be my favourite dinosaur simply because you can't get much more OG Dinosauria - but have difficulty setting aside NEW BLOOD or SPIRITS OF THE ICE FOREST or ... well, almost any of them).

Also: While the show's 20th Anniversary has passed us by without celebration (though the episodes and specials ARE on Netflix, HUZZAH!, so hopefully we'll also get WALKING WITH BEASTS and WALKING WITH MONSTERS when the time comes), may I please ask what you'd most like to see in a hypothetical 25th Anniversary Special c.2024? (other than updated designs finessed in as evolutionary variations from a different area/period, of course).

Of the original series, I liked the Tyrannosaurus chapter the best, although the ending wrecks me every time (loving Tyrannosaurus rex comes with the grim realization that roughly 70% of its appearances in media end with it dying horribly).  Of the entire canon of “Walking With...” shows, The Ballad of Big Al is my favorite, with the Nigel Marvin specials as a close second.

If they were to do an anniversary special, I’d like them to cover all the big paleontology stuff that’s come to light in the past decade or so that new paleontology fans love and I myself am unfamiliar with.  I haven’t kept up with new paleontological discoveries for a decade or so at this point - the internet paleontology fandom just feels very unfriendly so I’ve tried to distance myself from it - so I’m, like, only mildly aware of a bunch of new discoveries that modern dinosaur fans are super into.

Like, there should be an episode with Concavenator.  I don’t know where Concavenator lived or when or what creatures lived around it, but hot damn do modern dinosaur fans love that hump-backed little bastard.  There should be an episode with super feathery raptors - just the featheriest fucking raptors you’ve ever seen.  There should be one about the weird prevalence of big-ass theropods in Cretaceous Africa - Suchomimus, Carcharadontosaurus, and Spinosaurus, etc.  There should be episodes about dinosaurs whose names I don’t know but modern dinosaur fans do because that’s what they’d like.

And there should be at least one episode with cutting edge designs based on a very recent academic paper that gets debunked two weeks after the episode airs and causes people to decry the anniversary special as a blasphemous insult to the God of Science, because it’s not Walking With Dinosaurs if the writers don’t try to be as accurate as possible and still get burned by dinosaur fans for not predicting the future of paleontology with 100% accuracy.
