you’re home!

I play a very aggressive Therizinosaurus.

His name is Timmy Tickles.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth Late Cretaceous Period (approx. 67 million years ago) Lance Formation, Niobrara County, Wyoming, USA

A LARGE AND WELL-PRESERVED TOOTH FROM THE MOST FEARSOME PREDATOR EVER TO WALK THE EARTH

No animal elicits the combination of fascination, reverence, and fear quite like that of Tyrannosaurus rex, the "tyrant lizard king." Dominating the western landscape of Late Cretaceous North America, T. rex's five-foot-long skull was packed with 60 teeth and featured a bone-crushing bite force of nearly 13,000 pounds (5,900 kg) per square inch, the strongest of any terrestrial animal other than its ancestor, Gorgosaurus. In comparison to other carnivorous theropods, T. rex teeth are proportionately huge. Robust and thickly-enameled crowns strengthened dozens of teeth, with serrations on both the posterior and anterior edges. The almost unrivaled power of this 40-foot-long (12.2 m) apex predator allowed it to hunt virtually every large dinosaur in its environment, including Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Ornithomimus, Pachycephalosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and even other tyrannosaurs.

Spinosaurus, equipped with aquatic adaptations like crocodile-like jaws, webbed feet, has led some researchers to propose that it was predominantly an aquatic predator rather than a terrestrial one.

Spinosaurus is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa during the Cenomanian to Upper Turonian stages of the Late Cretaceous period, about 99 to 93.5 million years ago.

The genus was first known from Egyptian remains discovered in 1912 and described by German palaeontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915.

The original remains were destroyed in World War II but additional material came to light in the early 21st century.

It is unclear whether one or two species are represented in the fossils reported in the scientific literature.

Spinosaurus, which was longer and heavier than Tyrannosaurus, is the largest known carnivorous dinosaur.

It possessed a skull 1.75 metres (roughly 6 feet) long, a body length of 14–18 metres (46–59 feet), and an estimated mass of 12,000–20,000 kg (13–22 tons).

All known pachycepahlosaurs, except for two species, Ferganocephale and Stenopelix lived during the late Cretaceous. Ferganocephale, which can be traced back to the middle Jurassic, lacks some features on its teeth distinctive to all other known pachycephalosaurs, and Stenopelix, traced to the early Cretaceous, is based on a partial skeleton lacking the skull, which some scientists have now reclassified as a ceratopsian. With both outlying species of pachycephalosaurs sometimes considered nomen dubiums, it is possible that all known pachycephalosaurs lived during the late Cretaceous period.

"And I have come for you, Gorgosaurus."

Based off the Pachyrhinosaurus who apparently survived having half its face torn off, avoided kicking the bucket for a significant amount of time after that, and was still among the strongest of its herd.

That's a prehistoric Chad. I'm not kidding.

I don't know about dinosaur bone structure that much, but I'm pretty sure bro's brain had regular meetings with the sun.

Built differently.

How to see dinosaurs:

1.) Travel 66 million light years away from Earth.

2.) Look at Earth through a telescope.

3.) Dinosaurs.

Sketch by my friend Akane, render by me!

Realism is very out of my comfort zone, so I tried really hard on this! Even with my anthro art I have never fully fluffed up a character before, I had to change my process and way of thinking about art, and I think it turned out fun and pretty cool in the end! ...After a very long ugly phase. 😂

There's definitely still some issues- the arm I struggled on a lot, the face is still a tad cartoony, I could have rendered the beak more, and the feathers are also maybe not done with the best brush, etc. This piece was mostly experimental for me, using Tsaoshin's and Tamberella's custom brush packs.

Hope you guys like it. 👉👈

Little bit of an update/sneak peek for things in the works

The wonderful inhabitants of the salt lake basin in early periods.

Out of sight, out of mind is very real. Sorry to forget about you, Tumblr. Enjoy a dino.
