Watched Scooby-Doo Legend of the Phantosaur and all I could think about for the whole film was how 1) that’s not an Allosaurus and 2) you would not find Allosaurus and Massospondylus fossils in the same rock layer cause they lived 30 million years apart.

This is a cry for help.

An early Jurassic sauropodomorph, was native to Southern Africa ~ 190 million years ago. It was one of the first dinosaurs described (1850s) and is the namesake of an entire family of mid-sized, bipedal "pro-sauropod" dinosaurs.

I used to get the odd kids dino book gig. Usually you would have 2 days per image and no consultant! Tried for accuracy as best I could.

Massospondylus, Therizinosaurus, Hylaeosaurus, Dacentrurus.

in part because I don't think I've shared them, as they're all abandoned WIPs. Deinocheirus, and speculative/experimental takes on Massospondylus & Masiakasaurus. https://t.co/zySQ6EXCRM

Have you ever seen a dinosaur’s ear? This is Massospondylus, an early plant-eating dinosaur from the Jurassic of southern Africa. Recent work by our researcher revealed the inner ear (the organ that helps us keep our balance & hear) of both babies & adults!
