Posting some art for once, so have some dromaeosaurid drawings.

This is a tyrannosaurid dinosaur visiting a house (during lockdown)
Dino Fact:
Acheroraptor (Underworld thief) is a Dromaeosaurid from Late Cretaceous North America! It was among the last dromaeosaurs to ever live, as well as the first one found from the Hell Creek Formation, home to big names like T-Rex and Triceratops!
Art: Saurian
Dromaeosauridae, the dinosaurs that generally are informally called raptors even though Velociraptor is just one of many types of Domaesauridae, with feathers are just so cool.
And these are ones we actually know for sure were feathered too.
Parasaurolophin lamebosaurine hadrosaurids have always been at the top of my list for favorite dinosaurs, especially as we find more in addition to Parasaurolophus. Ttalolophus galorum is a pretty beautiful addition to this group of dinosaurs!
Our article with @Val_Fisch on the postcranial skeleton of Cerrejonisuchus (Dyrosauridae) has been published today in @thePeerJ !
To celebrate, here is a personal reconstruction of the beast🐊

Dino Fact:
Aviatyrannis (Grandmother Tyrant) is an early Tyrannosaurid from Late Jurassic Portugal. Aviatyrannis, as well as Eotyrannus, showed Tyrannosaurs didn't just migrate from their homeland Asia to North America and some had ended up in Europe.

Dino Fact:
Xiongguanlong (Xiongguan Dragon) is an early Tyrannosaurid from Early Cretaceous China. It marked a turning point in Tyrannosaur evolution. Compared to other early tyrannosaurs, it was larger, more robust, and had smaller arms like later tyrannosaurs.

@rick_akker Iirc,his comic self was such a weird mix bag of Dinos. Called him a Megaraptor which was then said to be actually a Carnosaur but then said to be a Tyrannosaurid? It was weird
Allosaur fits him really well and especially with having longer and stronger arms in Beast Mode.
#SauropterygianSaturday? Ok, here are mine: the henodontid placodont Parahenodus atancensis, the simosaurid Paludidraco Parahenodus (we described both taxa back in 2018, from fossils recovered from the Upper Triassic site of El Atance, Spain), and the nothosaur Brevicaudosaurus.
Paleo stuff
Well there are:
Early unnamed prosauropod
Muttaburasaurus
Ouranosaurus
Albertaceratops
Styracosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Dromaeosaurid
For #FossilFriday, here's an open access article on cranial anatomy of Saurornitholestes langstoni from Dinosaur Park Formation by Phillip Currie and David C. Evans:

Dino Fact:
Dineobellator (Diné Warrior) is a Dromaeosaurid from Late Cretaceous North America. Living at the very end of the Mesozoic period, it was evolving many advanced features, including stronger and more flexible hands and feet and a less stiff tail.

Getting back into some #paleoart with a #Ankylosaurus Magniventris dinosaur skull study. The Ankylosauridae family is a interesting deep dive in prehistoric species diversity. def recommend.
Gorgosaurus libratus
(Based on the skeletal diagram by G.S. Paul and the muscular diagram by Matt Dempsey)
