@KingRexy328 @TylerGreenfieId If you call Helicoprion "buzzsaw shark" you'd immediately understand where that name comes from. If you look at Thalassodromeus you don't see much immediate resemblance to a guillotine. Maybe a kite or a sail.

@KingRexy328 Pretty sure it's the pterygoideus dorsalis muscle

@Trey_Explainer Not necessarily “characters” but I thought these were the coolest things ever

You can only choose one

@MMeyerArt

Anyone know where this paleoart trope comes from? No living reptile I'm aware of has these wrinkles/veins going down the tail. I see it a lot in dinosaur art but I have no idea what started it. (I know this is an old reconstruction but it was the first example that came to mind.)

originals for comparison

Why did it take 55 years for paleontologists to get suspicious that their reconstruction of Tsintaosaurus had a gaping hole in the middle of its cranium? Instead of assuming it was filled with bone they went "oh ok so the hole housed a pair of ballsacs"

@Saab9_3TurboX @king_tyranno @michel_elia Giganotosaurus was originally poorly described and it’s skull was reconstructed incorrectly and unlike other Carcharodontosaurs. This skull is now outdated, the new skull is in the skeletal on the right. Sadly the old skull is still the most predominant in paleo media
