Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation

An illustration sketched with a ballpoint pen during my breaks at work (we've had a couple of slow days recently).

Based on some of the vertebrate fossils known from the Jiufotang Formation in China's Liaoning Province.

Foreground: several generic caterpillars, two Microraptor specimens, and a bird based on Longipteryx.

Background: one Confuciusornis, more Longipteryx-based birds, some generic titanosaurs.

Look. I'm just sayin

the titans are from "the owl house" which is owned by Disney

while the interpretation of the dreadnoughtus is from the documentary prehistoric planet"

An article published in the journal "Acta Palaeontologica Polonica" reports the identification of a species of titanosaur that lived about 95 million years ago, in the Cretaceous period, in today's Argentina and was named Bustingorrytitan shiva. María Edith Simón and Leonardo Salgado examined the partial skeletons of four specimens discovered in the village of Villa El Chocón, in the Neuquén province of Patagonia. This area of Argentina was home to various species of titanosaurs, the largest animals to have lived on land.

Home Sweet Home...

, The task of trying to create new original artwork related to what is now called “Paleoart” is becoming more and more daunting. I spend many hours researching and thinking in new ideas that would thrill everybody… and myself… But with so much competition in this field, sometimes it’s getting more difficult than ever. Needless to say say lavish TV series like Prehistoric Planet make some of the…

Random Dino Fact #3

The title of largest known dinosaur currently belongs to Argentinosaurus Huinculensis, a titanosaur that lived about 94 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous.

At an upper estimate of 80 tonnes in weight and 35 metres in length, this absolute behemoth is not only the biggest dinosaur but the largest land animal ever to walk the earth. For context, the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex weighed in at a comparatively minuscule 8.87 tonnes with a length of 12.4 metres.

Somehow though, this still wasn’t big enough to prevent predators from taking them down; there is evidence that they were hunted by equally massive predators such as Mapusaurus and Skorpiovenator, though most deaths from hunting were during adolescence or old age as an adult Argentinosaurus would have been almost completely impervious to attack from pretty much anything due to its sheer size.

As always, size has its drawbacks, and the weight of this guy meant it could only move at a top speed of 5 miles per hour, slightly faster than the average human walk. On top of that, it would have had to eat AT MINIMUM 517 kg (1,139.79 lbs) of plant matter EVERY DAY, not even considering the fact that it would have to move around to get access to that much food.

There is currently a debate within the scientific community about whether A. Huinculensis is truly the largest, as Dreadnoughtus, Paralititan, Puertasaurus, Alamosaurus, Patagotitan, Futalognkosaurus, Maraapunisaurus and Antarctosaurus have all at separate times have been considered to be slightly bigger or smaller based on different studies at different times.
