Oviraptorosaur atop an embryo-containing egg clutch! Clutch geometry, embryo growth stages & high est. incubation temp. support brooding. Embryo variation supports asynchronous hatching. Suggests complex evolution of theropod reproductive bio https://t.co/YbfJPfHDPk

The color scheme remains largely the same, but the rest of Dimetrosaur's design has been altered entirely. The anatomy is a mix of synapsid and theropod, with fanged teeth, half-sprawled hind limbs, and integument that is a mess of scales, bare skin, hair, and primitive feathers.

preserved filamentous integumentary structures: jubatus

Ubirajara is the new theropod on the block, so I made a gif showing off it using its weird filaments as a mating/threat display

Megalosaurus seems to be your rather ordinarily typical theropod, but it was the first non-avian dinosaur ever to have its own genus name. It was named back in 1824, and was once believed to have been a giant lizard (which we now know it wasn’t)!

I apologize for the bad dino anatomy. I didn't bother with refs for many of these and it shows. But hey, check out the rad colour scheme on this one at least!

Text: In 2015, the first ever dinosaur fossil from WA was discovered. It was likely a theropod almost as big as T.rex.

Stats: Late Jurassic theropod discovered in China. Name means “crowned dragon.”
Pros: Rad headpiece.
Cons: You think you’re better than me just because your fingers are more useful than mine?

It's called a paleo-meme when people do that. Example: giving theropod dinosaur lips or feathers. Right now, the big paleomeme for reconstructing t rex mostly fatherless and with lips.

Theropod: Great
Oversoul: Great
Wallow: Great

so why did I take so long

Since we want to be more active, here's a reinterpretation of saharicus for After waiting for 2 decades, we finally have some figured materials from this gigantic theropod! -RT

Day 12: Megaraptor - From the Late Cretaceous, this recently discovered theropod it’s more a T.Rex cousin than a big Velociraptor

An old project thats currently on the backburner. Think of it as a slightly more reasonable Peter Jackson: Skull Island but without theropods.

some Osrisian steppe/forested_area pred ideas
i admittedly shamelessly went near-to-full-on theropod with these
