Been working on some paleoart between commission work since I leave for SVP in 2 weeks and dinosaurs are understandably on the brain

Here's a Riparovenator hunting, inkwash and inkpen on a sketchbook that's probably meant for neither lol

A partial dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate baryonychine spinosaurid, likely a Ceratosuchops inferodios or Riparovenator milnerae from the Wessex Formation in the Isle of Wight, England. The tooth lacks fluting typically seen in baryonychine teeth, though some positional tooth morphologies that lack fluting have been described from Baryonyx.

Archovember 2024 Day 30 - Iguanodon bernissartensis

Our final species for Archovember is Iguanodon bernissartensis! As one of the more famous dinosaurs, Iguanodon is known for being one of the first dinosaurs to recieve a life-sized model, while now outdated and with the thumb spike placed on its nose. This has made Iguanodon a public example of how our scientific advances have improved our understanding of these ancient animals.

A very successful species in life, Iguanodon bernissartensis lived from the Late Jurassic all the way into the Early Cretaceous. Remains have been found in Belgium, Germany, England, and Spain. It is the type species of its own family of ornithopods: the Iguanodontids. They were large, bulky, muscular animals that could shift between quadrupedality to bipedality when needed, but were probably more quadrupedal as they got older and heavier. Their long arms supported conical thumb-spikes that could have been used for defense and/or for foraging. It used its cropping beak and grinding teeth for chewing up tough plant matter. Its long outer fingers were flexible, and may have aided in grabbing onto food as well.

Due to its wide range across Europe and across eons, Iguanodon bernissartensis would have lived alongside a variety of different species in different time periods and habitats. Formations where it has been found include the Sainte-Barbe Clays Formation, the Arcillas de Morella Formation, and the Wessex Formation. In Early Cretaceous Europe, it would have lived alongside fellow iguanodonts like Mantellisaurus and Valdosaurus. Other ornithischians included ornithopods like Morelladon, ankylosaurs like Polacanthus and Vectipelta, and smaller ornithischians like Hypsilophodon and Vectidromeus. It would have also come across sauropods like Garumbatitan, Oplosaurus, Eucamerotus, and Ornithopsis, spinosaurids like Protathlitis, Vallibonavenatrix, Ceratosuchops, and Riparovenator, other carnosaurs like Altispinax and Neovenator, compsognathids like Aristosuchus, and dromaeosaurids like Ornithodesmus and Vectiraptor. Iguanodon would have also shared Early Cretaceous Europe with pterosaurs like Coloborhynchus and pseudosuchians like Anteophthalmosuchus and Bernissartia.

ITS TIME

FOR

DINOSAUR MARCH MADNESS 2k23!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting NEXT WEEK, we begin the ultimate competition:

DMM: RISING STARS

These are ALL dinosaurs that have been discovered in the past five years!!! New friends from old times!!! Including such new fan favorites as Bajadasaurus, Jakapil, Meraxes, and Anachronornis - and that's only four of them!

From the weird to the wonderful, these dinosaurs are here to indicate that just because they were found recently, doesn't mean that they aren't destined to become icons like the names we already know and love. Get ready to learn about some new paleontological excitement - and debate angrily over which ones are better ;)

Round One will go from March 1st through the 7th

Round Two will extend from March 8th through the 14th

Round Three will then go from the 15th to the 21st

Round Four from the 22nd to the 28th

And the FINAL FOUR SHOWDOWN (Ornithischian Vs Sauropodomorph vs Nonavian theropod vs Bird) will occur from March 29th through April 4th!

Thanks to the new tumblr poll feature, reconstructions and mini factfiles for each dinosaur will be on the post with the poll itself! No need to leave tumblr, no personal research, no google quizzes - just rapid learning and immediate voting!

Get ready to vote! Get ready to debate! Get ready... for DINOSAUR MARCH MADNESS!

Protathlitis cinctorrensis Santos-Cubedo et al., 2023 (new genus and species)

(Tail vertebrae of Protathlitis cinctorrensis, from Santos-Cubedo et al., 2023)

Meaning of name: Protathlitis = champion [in Greek, referencing the centenary of the Villarreal football club, which won the UEFA Europa League in 2021]; cinctorrensis = from Cinctorres

Age: Early Cretaceous (Barremian), about 126–127 million years ago

Where found: Arcillas de Morella Formation, Valencian Community, Spain

How much is known: An upper jaw fragment and five tail vertebrae of one individual, as well as an isolated tooth.

Notes: Protathlitis was a spinosaurid, a group of large theropods with specializations for feeding in aquatic habitats. Along with Vallibonavenatrix and Camarillasaurus, which are also from Spain, Iberospinus from Portugal, and Baryonyx, Ceratosuchops, and Riparovenator from England, Protathlitis adds to the growing understanding that spinosaurids were highly diverse in western Europe during the Early Cretaceous.

[outlying-hyppocrate]

it is my sworn duty to assign my moots a dinosaur that fits their vibes. this is Riparovenator!

this is absolutely fantastic. i appreciate this very much

Why The Long Faces?

Yesterday, some new spinosaurs out of the Isle of Wight were formally described/revealed. They are very similar to Baryonyx, but as I understand it enough material was discovered to make the argument that Riparovenator and Ceratosuchops are sufficiently different.

To catch the bandwagon of drawing new dinosaurs in a timely manner, here are some shitposts. Enjoy.

[alex-fictus]

Spinosaurids!! It’s more than likely this is a post of several different Baryonyxes, Spinosauruses, and 1 (One) Suchomimus. But here’s the intended species

Spinosaurus - Irritator - Suchomimus

Ichthyovenator - Baryonyx - Siamosaurus

Oxalaia - Ceratosuchops - Iberospinus

Not pictured bc it won’t lemme upload 3 more:

Sigilmassasaurus - Riparovenator - Vaillabonaventrix

[mesozoicmarket]

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate baryonychine spinosaurid, likely a Ceratosuchops inferodios or Riparovenator milnerae from the Wessex Formation in the Isle of Wight, England. The spinosaurids from the Wessex Formation were formerly assigned to Baryonyx walkeri which is only described from the Weald Clay Formation.

Help girl I keep thinking about spinosauridae
