nothronychus mckinleyi - therizinosaurid - late cretaceous
a Very tall lady with some Quite impressive talons- i dont doubt the upkeep is a hassle! a study in this specific species of nothronychus (one of two, the other being n. graffami) and other therizinosaurs showed the family had very well developed senses useful for foraging! another future re-examination of n. mckinleyi's braincase in particular suggested an inclination to hearing low frequency sounds, meaning nothronychus likely had complex social behaviors- possibly even comparable to today's elephants!
higher resolution version under the cut!

Nothronychus mckinleyi, discovered in a part of the U.S. that was once thought to be part of the Western Interior Seaway. However, Nothronychus is obviously a terrestrial animal, and its bones were probably around 100 kilometers from what would’ve been the shoreline back then.

Nothronychus graffami was a medium-sized therizinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Utah. Though significantly smaller and older than its more famous and larger relative, Therizinosaurus, it still shows the hallmarks of this strange group of theropods. Scythe-like claws, a large gut, a long neck ending in a beak, and wide feet with four toes contacting the ground mark Nothronychus as a heavy set and stable herbivore.

I love paleoart. I don’t love that it’s mostly animals doing some variation on the theme of RAWR. That’s boring. So here’s a therizinosaur (Nothronychus) waving hi and being a big floofy goof, because no one can prove they weren’t.
Color scheme based on our modern day floofy goofy dinosaur with thoracic limb claws, the hoatzin.

Due to an unprecedented new organizational technique(making a folder labeled 'old2022' instead of 'old7'), this year I can easily look back on everything I made and put my favorites into list format according to how much serotonin they deliver when I look at them. This is truly the most objective and important of categorical characteristics.

Forgot to upload these yesterday. WIPs for SOME of my pride dinosaurs! I have about 11 or so planned. Some of these need work (I did Nothronychus with no references like a fool) but hopefully I can get my WHOLE list done by the end of the month.... We shall see

Suskityrannus vs Maip
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Factfiles:
Suskityrannus hazelae 
Tumblr media
Artwork by Andrey Atuchin, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Hazel Wolfe’s Coyote Tyrant 
Time: 92 million years ago (Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous) 
Location: Moreno Hill Formation, Zuni Basin, New Mexico 
When you follow the progress of paleontology long enough, you start to see things that were previously left undescribed actually get names and the respect they deserve - whether its the “putative screamer” Anachronornis or the “Zuni Coelurosaur” Suskityrannus, you’re sure to get a nice moment and a sense of satisfaction from it. Suskityrannus has been well known for a while due to it being featured in both When Dinosaurs Roamed America as well as Planet Dinosaur. Thought at various times to be a basal Coelurosaur or Tyrannosauroid, its official description placed it somewhat derived within Tyrannosaurs, showcasing the evolution of the Tyrannosaur group as it transitioned from the smaller more speedy forms (like Suskityrannus) to the giant murder birds we know and love later in the Cretaceous. In fact, Suskityrannus lived in an ecosystem that highlighted its changing world, with many early representatives of the later iconic North American Cretaceous ecosystems showing up in early forms in Moreno Hill. Suskityrannus was about one meter tall and three meters long, and already had many adaptations known from later tyrannosaurs. In the forested coastal ecosystem at Moreno Hill, Suskityrannus would have been neighbors with Zuniceratops, Nothronychus, Jeyawati, ankylosaurs, fish, and turtles. 
Maip macrothorax
Tumblr media
Artwork by @i-draws-dinosaurs, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Long-chested Shadow of Death 
Time: 72 to 66 million years ago (Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous) 
Location: Chorrillo Formation, Patagonia, Argentina 
Megaraptors, a group not even really understood a few decades ago, just keep having more and more interesting members added to this group - Maip, a recent addition known from many bones of the trunk and tail, help fill out more of this picture with remains not known from other Megaraptors, and als having the most complete Megaraptor skeleton known. Maip was also interesting in having a very long, thick torso, leading to its specific name. It probably reached 9 to 10 meters in length in life, making it the largest Megaraptor known (literally reaching carcharodontosaurid size), and it may indicate that megaraptors rose to high-level predator status as other top predators went extinct in the region. It had a respiratory system similar to modern birds, with unidirectional air flow, much like other Saurischian dinosaurs. Living in southernmost South America, Maip would have had to deal with a variety of harsh climates, and may have been covered in feathers in order to keep warm. In addition to mosasaurs, snakes, turtles, mammals, fish, and frogs, Maip lived with other dinosaurs such as Nullotitan, Kookne, Yatenavis, and Isasicursor.

Toxicchaintober day 27: Pheasant
Tumblr media
Feronychus.
“The Spectral Claw Pokemon”
Steel/Ghost
“The last of a lineage of ancient bird-like lineage, these Pokémon are reclusive and will slash at anything that it deems as an aggressor. They are sought out by many ghost-type trainers for the ancient power they can carry.”
“A living fossil, these Pokémon’s ancient status puzzles many researchers on how they were able to survive up to the present day. There have been tales of these creatures serving different roles. One of these includes a Feronychus that eventually became the being known as Fezandipiti after joining with a certain peach.”
The third, and final of the new fakemon made for Toxicchaintober prompt of the day! For the inspirations for Feronychus, the main inspiration is of Therizinosaurids, more specifically, of Beipiaosaurus, a dinosaur from ancient china, Along with Nothronychus from a preshistoric North America.

Other design inspirations that I included are of the Styphalian bird from Greek mythology, along with having traits from the goth aesthetic.

It also acts as a foil to the more of a kimono motif that Fezandipiti has where Feronychus with the rebellious goth type style
