New early Cretaceous abelisaurid, Spectrovenator (ghost hunter). A neat little critter that fills in a crucial gap in abelisaurid evolution.
Bienvenue Spectrovenator ragei! Le crane de ce nouvel abelisauridé du Crétacé inférieur du Brésil nous permet d'en savoir plus sur l'évolution de ces dinos très particuliers, avec leurs petits bras et leurs mâchoires très puissantes. En libre acces https://t.co/68bp6ZBQlW
Carnotaurus sastrei
Meaning: "flesh-eating bull"
Length: 9 m(29.5 ft)
Weight: 1.35 mt(1.49 st)
Lived: Late Cretaceous South America
Prey: smaller dinosaurs, carcasses
Family: abelisauridae
Named: 1985
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.
A few close ups, this painting was a really good exercise in texture and lighting, as well as anatomy. Pretty well-developed M. humeroradialis in megaraptorans, which fits with an arm-based prey capture model - HR is less developed in raptors and absent in abelisaurids
#Majungasaurus crenatissimus was a Abelisauridae from Madagascar, in life he was 2 meters tall and have 7 meters in length. It was the apex predator of his ecosystem, preying on sauropods like Rapetosaurus.

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

#FossilFriday WIP. My take on the basal abelisaur Eoabelisaurus mefi from the Cañadon Asfalto Formation - Middle Jurassic (Oxfordian) Argentina 🇦🇷. Already looking VERY abelisaurid! Look at that head! #paleoart #dinosaurs
@AndyFarke Dahalokely once more, this time as an abelisaurid. #dinosaurs #paleoart
