Missouri might be a terrible place, what with the extreme and wildly unpredictable weather patterns, corrupt and sometimes literally criminal state politics, including Republicans routinely fucking over their constituents by slapping down democratically-passed progressive legislation, the high tax rates and below-average wages, the long and damning history of racism and discrimination, the deliberate sabotage of public education and healthcare, the COVID-19 case spikes that’re among the worst in the nation, and also Mormons, but at least I live in one of 14 states in the union that has an official state dinosaur.

I assume that if you were a dinosaur you’d be a Hypsibema missouriensis

I may or may not be willing to accept this cause they’re chonky and awesome yes thank you for this evening of enlightenment

Why ride a horse when there are dinosaurs in D&D? This paladin rides a Hypsibema called Sweetthorn.

hows everybody here feleing ab the missouriensis parrasourus now known as the hypsibema missouriensis

The name “Utahraptor” always makes me feel as though I’m living in a world where each American state has its own raptor species. I want to see what a Connecticutraptor looks like.

ناسا بالعربي – هيبسيبيما Hypsibema

تغذّت ديناصورات هيبسيبيما Hypsibema على الأعشاب وكانت تتميز بفمٍ كبير فيه قرابة 1000 سن صغير. عاشت في مجموعاتٍ لحماية بعضها البعض، واكتُشفت بقاياها لأوّل مرة عام 1842 في أمريكا الشمالية.

Hypsibema crassicauda, H. missouriensis

Name: Hypsibema crassicauda, H. missouriensis

Name Meaning: High Step 

First Described: 1869

Described By: Cope

Classification: Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Genasauria, Neornithischia, Cerapoda, Ornithopoda, Iguanodontia, Dryomorpha, Ankylopollexia, Styracosterna, Hadrosauriformes, Hadrosauroidea, Hadrosauridae

Hypsibema is a Hadrosauroid (potentially Hadrosaurid) that is mainly famous because it is the state fossil of Missouri, a state where fossils are certainly few and far between, as Hypsibema is based on very fragmentary and partial material. It, like many early described dinosaur genera, has two species for some reason. H. missouriensis was found in Bollinger County, Missouri, specifically the Ripley Formation; where as H. crassicauda was found in North Carolina. They lived in the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, approximately between 83 and 72 million years ago. Bothare only based off of some vertebrae.
