Ducky

Yep yep yep~!

(okay, I just realised that there is still to some degree a dispute that Ducky from 'THE LAND BEFORE TIME' may have been either a Saurolophus or a Parasaurolophus -- though the former would have seemed more accurate, honestly.)

I've been trying my best to post an art piece every week. I intended to post a different drawing yesterday, but I wasn't able to finish it in time. I needed to draw something smaller & quicker since my self-imposed deadline was getting too close! I didn't have any WIP headshots I could finish instead & the poll I posted last week hadn't closed yet. I couldn't see the results before the end date without voting myself, which I didn't want to do.. so I resorted to using a random number generator to help me decide which of my art ideas to use for this headshot!

I ended up not being able to finish THIS on time either, whoops. now that the poll is over, I see that Zhihao didn't get any votes.. but this is the only thing I could post today anyway! really, when it comes to deciding what to draw next, I do prefer taking your input over a random number generator. I will be using the poll results to help me decide how to prioritize my art ideas in the coming months! I'll make a more detailed follow-up post to the poll later because I'm super sleepy right now! if you voted, thank you ^w^ I really appreciate your input!

Hadrosaurs from the world

[saritawolff]

#Archovember Day 16 - Shantungosaurus giganteus

While hadrosaurs tend to be perceived as horse or cow-size, there were some intimidatingly huge members of the family. As the largest hadrosaur discovered so far, Shantungosaurus giganteus could reach 15 metres (49 ft) to 16.6 metres (54 ft) long and weigh an estimated 13 metric tons (14 short tons) to 16 metric tons (18 short tons). It lived in Late Cretaceous China, and would have filled a niche typically filled by sauropods in its ecosystem. As these dinosaurs have been found in a mass grave, it’s likely they also traveled in large, formidable herds. Shantungosaurus also had very large nostril holes which were probably covered by flaps of skin that could have inflated to amplify its calls.

Shantungosaurus lived alongside other hadrosaurs like Laiyangosaurus, Tanius, and Tsintaosaurus, all quite large animals but still overshadowed by Shantungosaurus. It would have also lived alongside a diverse array of ceratopsians like Sinoceratops, Ischioceratops, Zhuchengceratops, and Micropachycephalosaurus, as well as the ankylosaur Pinacosaurus and the oviraptorosaur Anomalipes. So far, only one sauropod has been found in this area, Zhuchengtitan, the tallest animal in its ecosystem… beating Shantungosaurus by a neck. The apex predator of this region was the tyrannosaur Zhuchengtyrannus. However, it’s likely would not have been able to take on an adult Shantungosaurus, but could have picked off young or sick individuals that strayed from the herd.

Kritosaurus at a Salt Lick

66 million years ago in Late Cretaceous North America, a herd of Kritosaurus navajovius gather around a salt lick in a jungle clearing. Licking minerals from the clay here provides these hadrosaurid dinosaurs with essential nutrients such as sodium, calcium, and zinc which helps with the animals’ physical growth. It’s a behavior many animals throughout the world carry out to this day.

Patreon request for @/rome.and.stuff (Instagram) - Secernosaurus koerneri

Secernosaurus was a member of a small group of hadrosaurs native to South America: the Austrokritosaurs, and it was the first of this group to be formally named. Most hadrosaurs lived in Laurasia (what is now North America and Eurasia) which was seperated from South America in the Cretaceous. The existence of Secernosaurus and its relatives suggests a land bridge temporarily formed between North and South America at this time, allowing North American kritosaurines to migrate South.

So far, only one specimen of Secernosaurus has been found. This fossil was previously thought to belong to a subadult, but recent study shows it was likely mature, or at least almost mature. This makes it the smallest of the Austrokritosaurs, only 4–5 metres (13–16 ft) long. Still a large animal, but rather small by hadrosaur standards!

Secernosaurus received its big screen debut in Prehistoric Planet’s second episode, however, the design of the animals were based off the better known Huallasaurus australis, as Huallasaurus was thought to be a species of Secernosaurus at the time.

Secernosaurus koerneri lived in the Late Cretaceous Lago Colhué Huapí Formation In Argentina. As depicted in Prehistoric Planet, this environment was semi-arid with large deposits of gypsum, and fluctuated between seasonally wet conditions and intense aridization. But Secernosaurus wasn’t the only dinosaur in this environment. It shared the formation with titanosaurs like Elaltitan lilloi, Argyrosaurus superbus, and Aeolosaurus rionegrinus. Fragmentary remains of dromaeosaurids and megaraptorids have been found here, as well as the ornithischians Notoceratops (which could have been either a ceratopsian or another hadrosaur) and Sektensaurus (a possible elasmarian). Turtles, pseudosuchians, and lungfish have also been found, which would have made use of the floodplains during the wet season and possibly aestivated during the dry.
