When I was in paleo research I helped describe a shuvosaurid. A little beaked, plant-eating crocodilian relative that was trying to be a dinosaur.

The virgin Tyrannosaurids: Some were big and bulky, some were slender and fast, but overall the same concept.

The chad Spinosaurids:

Skeletal diagram of Ichthyovenator laosensis I created for its article. Yep! Turns out that like its later relative Ichthy also had a tail fin! Definitely been a great year for spinosaurid palaeontology 📖.

The Genosaurer remains my favorite Zoid of the Tyrannosaurids. Great color scheme and really sleek design.
The Geno is just one of 12 designs you can get as a sticker or Acrylic Stand by backing my Kickstarter - only 56 hours left!! https://t.co/3X5mi6vn7I

Pada tahun 1984, spesimen hampir sempurna spinosaurid baru ditemukan di lohong tanah liat Smokejacks di Surrey, England. Ia dinamakan Baryonyx walkeri. Fosil ni akhirnya jadi panduan kepada ahli paleontologi untuk membina semula spesies spinosaurid lain termasuk Spinosaurus.

Breaking news! The Loch Ness monster re-evaluated as a spinosaurid! 🤪

Extra food for thought on Spinosaurus, the caudal material we have from other spinosaurids doesn't really preclude a similar condition...

Spinosaurus, requested by and ! Colours (loosely) based on sockeye salmon. I always felt that Spinosaurids didn’t get enough love!

Deltadromeus agilis. I had to do it.
This obviously relies on several levels of assumption: 1. that it is an elaphrosaurine noasaurid and not a more basal ceratosaur, or a carnosaur, or a tyrannosaur, or a megaraptoran... 2. that other elphrosaurs had a skull like Limusaurus.

Carcharodontosaurids > Tyrannosaurids. Change my mind.

And no, I’m clearly not against making colorful dinosaurs. I just think it depends on what story you’re trying to promote with the species you’re illustrating.
In this case, spinosaurids evolved these huge sails and characteristic skull crests. What for? Probs display.

“Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a spinosaurid.”
“Then what about side by side with a friend?”
“...aye. I could do that.”

Question: Where did the trend for large scutes on the maxilla of tyrannosaurids come from? Wondering if there's any anatomical evidence for it as I complete this piece
