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.

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.

Getting back into some with a Magniventris dinosaur skull study. The Ankylosauridae family is a interesting deep dive in prehistoric species diversity. def recommend.

Albertosaurus is the last known non tyrannosaurid from It was more slender and smaller than its celebrity cousin, but could still reach ~10 meters long. Fossil evidence suggest they may have been highly social, pack-hunting (Art credit: )

Dino Fact:

Nodocephalosaurus (Knob headed lizard) is an ankylosaurid from Late Cretaceous New Mexico. Despite being from North America, its skull structure closely resembles that of Sachania and Tarchia from Asia, with lots of bulbous growths on top.

Dino Fact:

Tarchia (Brainy One) is an ankylosaurid from Late Cretaceous Mongolia. It was named this as it had a larger brain compared to Saichania, another ankylosaur who coincidentally was found in the same area and named at the same time as Tarchia.

Dromaeosaurids remain some of my favorite non-avian dinosaurs to reconstruct. So here you have some Dromaeosaurids for today’s Utahraptor, Wulong, Deinonychus and Sinornithosaurus

A closer, better quality view of the head. I always imagine the heads of abelisaurids as being boldly patterned (for display purposes).

Incidentally, this is South America's fourth new abelisaurid since the start of 2020: the others are Niebla, Spectrovenator (shown here; from Zaher et al. 2020) & Tralkasaurus.
