#dinosaur of the day
Note
Frank, what’s your favorite dinosaur?
Dinosaurs- Theropods
Tyrannosaurus Rex (Velociraptor)
-T. Rex is the king of the "stink lizard" family, and with
it's long tail, it can outrun even the fastest cheetah.
-A velociraptor can eat as much as a small adult hippo
per day, in about 30 minutes. Its prey includes other
dinosaurs.
-It probably roamed the Earth before dinosaurs like
T. Rex did.
-It had a very loud, trumpeting scream.
-Theropods were some of the first known large animals
with feathers.
-A velociraptor's tail would have been long, like that of a
giant kangaroo, and it's muscles would have been very
large and strong.
-Theropods had hands, but they would have had thumbs,
unlike in modern birds.
-In the future, a velociraptor like T. Rex will be an extinct
creature again, like the dinosaurs it is part of.
Megalosaurus (Compsognathus)
Megalosaurus and other duckbills may have been
the first known dinosaurs.
-The large bony plates on the top of their skulls may
have been used to hold eggs.
-They are thought to be closely related to birds, which means
they were very long ago.
-They were more aquatic than other dinosaurs.
-During the Cretaceous period, the Earth's atmosphere
was not as carbon-dioxide-heavy as today.
-With less greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, the world
may have been a lot warmer.
-Duckbills may have been active in water, but they may have
spent much of their time swimming on land as well.
-They were very likely cold-blooded.
-T. Rex's size is often exaggerated, but it was probably
closer to 10 feet long than 30 feet long.
-T. Rex was the last of its kind.
-After T. Rex, there were no more large carnivorous
dinosaurs.

tumblr tuesday: velociraptors, our beloveds
It's national velociraptor awareness day! What is there that we need to be aware of regarding velociraptors? No idea! We're just here to enjoy renditions of these swift plunderers from 73ish million years ago (the raptors, not the art).
And before you get up in arms about the specification of some of these little guys, we've broadened the scope to include all types of dromaeosaurs...because the art was pretty, and frankly, mistakes were already made before we got here (we're looking at you, Jurassic Park).
So, please enjoy this raptor and raptor-adjacent art. (And, while we have you, can the paleo plushie experts please take a look and see if they can help this user find another Hammer?)

a beautiful sight 🌟
concavenator
gonna be the last art of this year. it was a tough one, but with a glimpse of hope for the future, for which i'm really grateful.
i've done a lot of art this year, personal and for the studio too.
manifesting next year to be a dream come true (please let me be happy and free)
happy new year everyone! 💙
#strangely this art for me is about the past and the future at the same time#a ghost of the past?#a sign of a happy future?#or just hope?#depends on how u see it#ah as usual my personal paleoart is about dinosaurs and my silly delusions :D#i wish i could see that in person. i'd probably cry for days#a pretty ghostly dinosaur silhouette in the fog. that is here for a second. and then disappears forever#making u think did i really see that or it's just my imagination#things...................#anyway!#barghestland#paleoland#paleoart#art#artists on tumblr#concavenator

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s mummified hadrosaur—one of the most complete pieces of Mesozoic dinosaur remains ever found! This fossil represents one of the greatest discoveries in the history of paleontology: a rare glimpse at the texture of dinosaur skin. Like the skin on modern birds’ feet, this duck-billed dinosaur’s skin was marked by bumps called tubercles. The tubercles are larger along the animal’s back and sides and smaller around the joints, which needed to be flexible.

Women's History Month 2024 - Mary Buckland and Megalosaurus
It's International Women's Day! Featuring Mary Buckland, the OG Paleoartist, AKA the lady who drew the iconic Megalosaurus jaw described by her husband William in 1824!
Coincidentally, Megalosaurus' first scientific description turned 200 years old earlier this year!
