People still butthurt over theropods having feather should just redirect their fandom energy to the Rauisuchians instead since those actually were scaly carnivorous bipedal reptiles.

#New theropod paper: "The first juvenile dromaeosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from #Arctic #Alaska" by @AAlechiarenza and colleagues. #paleontology #theropods #dinosaurs https://t.co/JJQ8Pie86u
38. For #TheSummerOfTheropods, here’s #Thanos, an abelisaurid that lived in Brazil during the Late Cretaceous Period. Reconstruction of Thanos based on PaleoJoe abelisaur skeletal drawings.
Guided by Henry's illustrations, the morphology, along with phylogenetic analysis shows that sauropods evolved giant articular cartilage caps good at resisting compression; while theropods expanded the femoral 'head' to deal with compression and shear.

Ceratosaurs are often touted as ‘the scaly Theropods’ given their primitive heritage and evidence of scales, feature scales and osteoderms. However, given the likelihood that early Dinosaurs had them (mostly in arid climates), it shouldn’t be ruled out that they were all shed.
For #TheSummerOfTheropods, I’ll be introducing our first “controversial” theropod, #Saurophaganax, the “lord of lizard eaters”, a large allosauroid dinosaur from the Morrison Formation of the Late Jurassic of Oklahoma. Art by Hellraptor Studios
Here is Dilophosaurus along with some Herrerasaurs and some basal theropods at scale compared to a 1.8m tall human. Part of a size chart I am preparing for my book #Paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs
Our first oviraptorosaur for #TheSummerOfTheropods, #Caudipteryx (“tail feather”), a peacock-sized dinosaur from the early Cretaceous Period. Caudipteryx was feathered and remarkably birdlike in overall appearance. Art by Matt Martyniuk.
9. Introducing #Pelecanimimus (“pelican mimic”) for #TheSummerOfTheropods a primitive ornitomimosaur from the early Cretaceous of Spain. Artwork by Green-Mamba.
5. For #FossilFriday here’s our first #abelisaurid for #TheSummerOfTheropods, #Majungasaurus, the “Mahajanga lizard” from Madagascar of the Cretaceous period. It’s also become probably one of my favorite theropods. Artwork by @SerpenIllus
Ceratosaurus, a medium sized theropod from the Late Jurassic period.

A late post, but I sketched some theropods tonight; no references so their accuracy is dubious, but I wanted to have fun ^^ #paleoart #dinosaurs #sorryornithischians
Hello!
It's #IndieWishlistWednesday! If you like dinosaurs, pixels and hunting, but also don't love pixel-hunting, you may like Theropods!

@randompaleonerd @MarkWitton @OberstarPatrik My main curiosity is that the dentary foramina row is much closer to the dental margin & there doesn’t seem to be as much of a groove in Spinosaurus when compared to some other theropods (Albertosaurus; Majungasaurus & Allosaurus, Sinraptor & Acrocanthosaurus). Why would this be?
Got my scanner situation sorted out, so I dusted off my tablet and jumped on the Spinosaurus bandwagon. Such a bizarre and magnificent animal. The Pharaoh of dinosaurs.

Dilophosaurus is one of the earliest known large-bodied theropods, and I sometimes forget just how big it was!
I actualy give Jurassic Park credit for their protrayal of a novel display structure. It was a noble idea, they just failed the execution by copying a living animal 1:1
