This is really nicely done. The lighting makes your details sing

I FORGOT KULINDADROMEUS. I think you could put it's tail integument safely within the "weirdly armored/banded" category

Those ventral brick or rectangular rows of scales are present in: Juravenator, Triceratops, pelycosaurs, a ton of snakes/lizards, & crocodilians. It seems a common way to protect the often vulnerable underside of an animal, especially parts lower to the ground

A feature I don't think I've ever seen depicted in #paleoart, although I gave this New Mexico chasmosaur a speculative ring-scaled tail. It seemed a natural transition from the ventral brick-like rows of scales based on Triceratops

God damn this is amazing

Your best scene yet! I’ll give you a pass for it not being a sauropod THIS time 😉

Somewhere out there a 13-year-old boy is absolutely fuming in front of his keyboard over the Chuanjiesaurus anaensis-Analong chuanjieensis split

Hey Dr. Hone, I attempted to send an email to the Terrible Lizards podcast but it wouldn't go through. Can you please DM me your email or another way to contact?

I don't know if I can watch a baby mammoth die in 4k....

Is paleontology unique in having a whole "fanbase" of people not really interested in the science? And having a bunch of people really mostly fans of a movie franchise related to the field?
