This is a small reconstruction of Tianyulong confuciusi, an heterodontosaurid from Late Jurassic China, for my in-prep book. Some basal ornithischian dinosaurs are known to have been fuzzy... some could have been VERY fuzzy!

Today is so I wanted to show this Iguanodon bernissartensis (an ornithischian from Early Cretaceous Europe) the lizard it was named after: the Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) from South America.

Good evening everyone! Tonight’s Dino of the day is gigantspinosaurus! Gigantspinosaurus was an ornithischian that lived during the Jurassic period. It was found in China. It grew to around 14 feet in length. See you explorers tomorrow!🤠

1/3: A tad late, but I wanted to follow the trend of recapping my work of 2018! First up: New reconstruction of cranial musculature in ornithischian dinosaurs (including implications of their so-called "cheeks")! https://t.co/c2e9qfRokK

I have also given it cheek plates based on recent research by Witmer et al, suggesting a lack of typical fleshy cheeks in ornithischians. To compensate, it may have had an enlarged pterygoideus as recently proposed (2nd pic) by Ali Nabavizadeh

Day 5 - Nanosaurus agilis is an ornithischian dinosaur from the Morrison formation of the western United States. Here, a young male pushes his luck with an older female, who quickly rejects his advances with a swift, powerful kick

For this My reconstructions of small ornithischians, particularly relatively early taxa, show them as very fluffy animals. Actually after my recent conversations with some have gotten even fluffier!

WIP. The legs of the ornithischian Othnielosaurus consors are quite long! Part of the tetrapod fauna from the Morrison fm, Bushy Basin Member, Colorado that I am reconstructing (Late Jurassic - Tithonian) for my book “Journey to the Mesozoic, vol. I”

2. Small ornithischians (some? most? all?) had filamentous covering over much of the body & limbs. Not covered in scales.

theropods like basal Eoraptor and Eodromaeus for a clade with ornithischians like basal Pisanosaurus
