I just wanna read and yap and listen to Sleep Token 🖤
1.) The diversity of dinosaurs in Europe during the Late Cretaceous.

2.) Island rule. Which states that larger animals tend to evolve into smaller forms to adapt to the limited resources.

And overall just helped paleontologists understand more about the Rhabdodontidae family.

The fossils themselves were unharmed due to them being so dense and heavy.

Don’t body shame my babies, they were just big boned is all.

We also know that it was a relatively big spinosaurid as the few bones found were pretty large.

We also have a general idea of what is might have looked like as spinosaurids had a few distinct features. Like long arms and a crocodilian like snout.

But that’s about it. We need more fossils.

Among the bones found are, the pelvis, hindlimbs, and vertebrae. Unfortunately the skull and forelimbs were not found.

It was likely feathered and roughly 3 to 5 meters (12 to 16 feet) or, 391 to 522 peas, long.

Special thank you to @becadreads.bsky.social for the weird units converter 😊

Halszkaraptor most likely would have been found in the Djadochta formation, but, its fossils were stolen by fossil poachers, and it went on a fun little adventure to Japan and Great Britain.

And eventually found its way to paleontologists.

Please enjoy this tiny raptor duck, it’s a cool one.

So many believe it to be a missing link between Saurischia dinos (lizard hipped like T.rex, Sauropodomorphs and birds) and Ornithischia (bird hipped like Stegosaurus and Triceratops).

This would make Chilesaurus a key in dinosaur evolution. Which is pretty cool.

The Frankendino of the Jurassic.

The lower half of the thigh bone and a complete tibia.

Now because we have so little fossil material, Quilmesaurus could potentially become a dubious dinosaur.

As we have no real way to distinguish it other abelisaurids.

That also means I don’t have much more to tell you about.

Tiny arms!

The art in Blackthorn is so pretty 😍

I don’t know why I continue to do these when all they do is call me out.

Standing at about 1.5 m (4.11 ft) tall and was estimated to be about 5.5-6.5 m (18-21 ft) long.

Unfortunately we don’t know a lot about it as it’s only known from a single specimen, and the fossils found were of a few vertebrae.

It is unlikely that it would have been the apex predator.

His ancestors are calling out to him.

So could we actually get anything from this tail and have a Jurassic Park moment?

Unfortunately no.

While there was soft tissue found, there was no genetic material found.

But it is still a really find!

How cool would it be to find a whole dinosaur trapped in amber.

Sigh, a girl can dream.
