Good evening everyone! Tonight’s Dino of the day is Eoabelisaurus! Eoabelisaurus was a theropod that lived during the Cretaceous period. It was found in Argentina 🇦🇷. It grew to around 20 ft in length. See you explorers tomorrow!🤠

@Brushwolf @BasiliskOnline @Smatterbrain It’s actually extremely possible thst this did happen! Carnotaurus and other abelisaurids had tiny wittle hands, with extreme mobility. Since it was so small it couldn’t be used for fighting of hunting, it most likely was used for mating displays: https://t.co/aNSis2QELf

Rajasaurus (Princely Lizard) is an abelisaurid from Late Cretaceous India! It's believed to be a close relative of the Madagascar abelisaurid, Majungasaurus,
as the two of them shared several traits, including the small horn they - (1/2)

Now Carnotaurus seems the obvious choice for a abelisaur on this poster but with it's wide skull and short legs Majungasaurus takes the cake for me. It's also nice to have another animal from Madagascar in here.
Inspired by Jurassic World, @T_rexellence 's work on the Giant Kenyan Abelisaur, and @HodariNundu 's old piece on the guy! So exciting to see an Abelisaur enter the ring of the largest terrestrial predators!

No offense to the artists and designers, I appreciate the efforts you put into your work. But why were abelisaurs with relatively long, well developed arms ever a thing in media or paleoart? One of the more confusing tropes. #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleoart #Documentary
I then did a quick values study, to see how I would like to lay the light and shadows in the piece. I actually was inspired by a previous piece of mine showing an abelisaur in a similar pose.
@randompaleonerd Some general faves. Kinda conflicted between Spectrovenator or other round faced derived abelisaurs like Skorpiovenator
Results from the #paleostream!
Hoelaspis (for @arizona_b), Pycnonemosaurus (for @devinsaurusnext), Sinomacrops (for Crested Gecko) and Pulchritudo.
