You two goobers remind me of dinosaurs, and I do mean that as the highest of compliments! :D

Jervis over there, with his buck teeth and cuddly ole' dog behavior, reminds me of the Daemonosaurus chauliodus, which is Greek for Buck-Toothed Evil Spirit. The dinosaur, which stood as tall as a large dog, boasts a very unusual skull. It has a deep, short snout and these monstrous front teeth. That's a kind of skull structure for a predatory dinosaur that's really unexpected for as early as the Triassic Period. It's known only by its fossilized skull and neck vertebrae. But the fossils show that the dinosaur has several features including cavities in its vertebrae linked to the respiratory system that bridge the evolutionary gap between the earliest dinosaurs and the neotheropods, the next group of predatory dinosaurs to evolve. It's an adorable doggy with buck teeth, like Jervis!

Brownie here reminds me much of a stegosaurus. Stegosaurus is famous for its two rows of kite-shaped plates that stick out from its neck, back, and tail. But the paleontologist who first discovered a Stegosaurus fossil thought the plates laid flat on its back like a turtle’s shell. That’s why its name in Greek means roof lizard. It's also thought that the plates along its back could change color with its mood, like a chameleon! And you're so great at changing your appearance that I couldn't think of a better dinosaur!

How funny that I'm a little dinosaurs. Loving how passionate you are about them, AND YOU'RE RIGHT! They were extraordinary animals.

STEGOSAURUS IS MY MOM'S FAVOURITE THANK YOU THAT'S ADORABLE 😁. She thinks they look punk and cool! Also what does "wield that flip flop" means? (French a$$ who understands nothing)

dinosaur genera i think could work as targ dragons

remembered there's a dinosaur genus named meraxes so scrawled through the list and picked some. ctrl+f'd for x names and ae names.

aetonyx - thats literally a guy from valyria basically

aerosteon - aerystion/aerostyon

baryonyx - now this dino is pretty well known so ill make him baeryon or baeryoxes

daemonosaurus - i dont think this is a great dragon name cos it includes saurus but this is daemon's fursona

draconyx - come onnnn thats a dragon

dracorex - synonym to pachycephalosaurus again come onnn that is a dragon. maybe make it dracoryx for full targification

fylax - makes me think of phylactic very fun

hesperonyx - sounds cool

koparion - this one is only known from one tooth! maybe koparion the dragon has just one teef..

lythronax - throne... lythronaxes maybe

tethyshadros - this just sounds cool. tethys ocean<3

zalmoxes - i think of "zaldrizes" meaning dragon... and moxie the dragon has moxie ^_^

Sunday Scribbles: How to Draw a Coelophysis

I thought I would show you one way I draw dinosaurs. This character I am about to show you comes from a novel I am writing that takes place on an Earth-like planet where dinosaurs did not go extinct but evolved into an intelligent race called Avekians.

Niko is a Coelophysis, more commonly called a Ghost Ranch Tit by the locals (ignore the name on the page, I changed it when I realized it didn't fit the Avekian language anymore).

They hail from the Unkata Desert of Laranidia in the Kingdom of Kuloviu. Nico lives on a Krane ranch and belongs to the only human in the land, Dimitri.

Real Coelophysis lived during the Late Triassic Period around 210-201 million years ago in North America. They have been found in Arizona and New Mexico with possible remains found in Colorado.

Coelophysis was about 10 feet long and lived in seasonally wet forests alongside animals like Placerias, Smilosuchus, Desmatosuchus, Postosuchus, Shuvosaurus, and other dinosaurs including Chindesaurus, Camposaurus, Daemonosaurus, and Tawa.

An important think to note when drawing any kind of animal: muscle definition, meat! Fill in all the spaces! You should not be able to see the wholes in the skull or the shape of the hip bones. Remember, dinosaurs are not mammals and their legs should not look mammalian! Sometimes, I draw a basic skeleton outline first and fill in around. Perhaps I will show you that on a future Sunday.

The fun thing with most dinosaurs: you can make them any pattern and any color you want! We only know the color and pattern for a handful of exceptionally well preserved dinosaurs (Archaeopteryx, Microraptor, etc).

I based Nico's plumage off of two real life birds: Anna's Hummingbird and the Greater Roadrunner. Both found in dry, arid places in North America, one of the continents Laranidia is based off of.

Interested in Coelophysis? Well guess what? We might have found one out near our Evil Tree Bonebed site in our Triassic Chinle rocks. As part of our Field Paleontology Course, we teach students how to prospect. So if you want to come out this summer and help us find the rest of our potential Coelophysis, check out the link below. Hope to see you there!

Месяц динозавров продолжается, а я решила продолжить рассказывать вам о своём лоре. Мы уже посмотрели Бога Карачуна, духа реки Ра, а теперь перейдём к оси зла — ЧЕРТИ.

Я не хотела вводить чертей в лор, так как для меня это больше церковное, но, порывшись немного, я узнала, что черти-лукавые были в славянской мифологи��, они просто хорошо вписались в библейские писания. На внедрение чертей в комикс меня натолкнула потрясающая статья vk.com/im/convo/2000000133?.... Спасибо паблику, что рассказывает много интересного! В комиксе точно будет много летающих древних созданий, а вот с наземными чуть сложнее. Daemonosaurus chauliodus — размером с очень крупную собаку, «клыкастый ящер-демон», он, вероятно, досаждал пресмыкающуюся фауну позднего триаса и был серьёзным конкурентом. Окаменелости демонозавра (голотип CM 76821) были обнаружены в карьере «Ранчо призраков» (Ghost Ranch) штата Нью-Мексико. Это место известно обильными отложениями ископаемых динозавров, в том числе триасовых тероподов.

Лорный аспект. Высшим прародителем нечисти в моей истории является Чернобог, но он больше отвечает за хтоническое масштабов вселенной, нЕчто, что у меня ассоциируется с сингулярностью — абсолютным разрушением. Поскольку Боги в моей мифологии неосязаемы в своей истиной форме, за них работают «сказочные» персонажи светлой или тёмной оси. Как правило, Кощея приравнивают к Чернобогу, но у меня это всё же два разных персонажа, как и должно быть, я считаю. Кощей могущественен, но не всесилен.Если взять определения «демон», то, как по мне, демоны сильнее обычных чертей. Возможно, я возьму какого-нибудь диноса в качестве главной силы чёртиков, но это не точно. Пока что я не нашла в источниках именно демонов, поэтому Daemonosaurus chauliodus будут чертями. Стандартный образ чёрта — рогатый и с копытами, но я бы хотела сделать акцент более на их назойливость, озорство и коварность. Образ данного динозавра вполне подходит, как я считаю.

ЧЁРТ — в славянской мифологии злой дух. Образ дохристианского происхождения, но христианские представления о дьяволе оказали решающее воздействие на его позднейший облик: в фольклоре и народных картинках Ч. — антропоморфные существа, покрытые чёрной шерстью, с рогами, хвостами и копытами. В русской средневековой живописи облик Ч. отличается от человеческого остроголовостью (или волосами, стоящими дыбом — шишом: отсюда эвфемизмы типа «шиш», «шишига»), иногда — крыльями за спиной. У восточных славян Ч. — родовое понятие, часто включающее всю нечистую силу («нежить», «нечистиков»): водяных, леших, домовых и т. д.

Но просто чёрт — одно из названий злых духов, как мы это уже поняли. В словаре я нашла, что в восточнославянской мифологии их также кличут Анчуткой. Уберечься от Анчутки можно, обратившись к Родным Богам, особенно к Богу Чуру. Ведь именно ему наказал Род хранить людей, пока они живут в мире Яви. Если позвать его, он обязательно прогонит злого Анчутку и закажет ему дорогу назад. А ещё этот дух не переносит железа и соли. Поэтому дома надо обязательно иметь обереги из железа и проводить очищение с помощью обычной или четверговой соли.

Daemonosaurus never grew out baby features like for example huge adorable eyes

I wonder how many other animals adopted one mistaking them for a baby

2/18/22 Daemonosaurus

[ornithopsis]

For the curious, Mickey Mortimer (a blogger who critiques dinosaur phylogenetic studies) has investigated the phylogenetic positions of Buriolestes, Chilesaurus, and Daemonosaurus in the dataset that recovered Ornithoscelida. Daemonosaurus is still a basal theropod and Buriolestes still a basal sauropodomorph, but Chilesaurus turns out to be an ornithischian (according to this analysis)!

They’ve observed that the dataset isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, so it’s possible that Ornithoscelida is less well-supported than the paper claims, though.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Sigh. Just 20 extinct ones then.

so for 20 extinct I'd go with 7 Ornithischians, 4 Sauropodomorphs, 9 Theropods:

Tianyulong

Chungkingosaurus

Polacanthus

Yinlong

Triceratops horridus (sorry this is the only one I'm specifying I just don't have a specific one in mind for the rest where there are options, which to be fair, is few of them)

Eolambia

Olorotitan

Massospondylus

Brontosaurus (if you go with Tschopp et al 2015)

Sauroposeidon

Patagotitan

Daemonosaurus

Limusaurus

Giganotosaurus

Jaculinykus

Mei

Sapeornis

Lithornis

Kumimanu

Zygodactylus

Decided to revisit an old drawing i made back in 2017. I only decided to show half of the colored version because the the rest looks pretty crap

[my-chemical-rot]

Everyone should have a species of dinosaur that they get absolutely obsessed with & start researching & learn everything about. Like even if you’re not a paleontologist or even super duper interested in paleontology you should have Your dinosaur (& tbh you don’t even have to learn everything about them, just familiarize yourself with the fellow & maybe be able to spout some fun facts about them in conversation). It’s good for your soul.

[witchofthemidlands]

this is why THIS IS WHY Evan Cross is in my top five favourite guys of the primeval universe. man has watched his wife be torn apart by an albertosaurus. This is the SIXTH EPISODE, man has seen pterodactyls, utahraptors, titanaboa, terror birds & a lycaenops yet THIS. A singular Daemonosaurus. THIS is when he starts screaming. he is brilliant, he is smart, he is a disaster. i love this disaster dinosaur man so much.

Dinosaurs of Ghost Ranch

Daemonosaurus chauliodus

('demon reptile, buck-toothed') very fitting name

Saurischia, most likely basal Theropoda

Certainly one of the most basal theropods (if indeed a theropod) yet described anywhere in the world, this tiny terror lived beside the likes of Coelophysis bauri, the much more famous and much more prevalent animal of the Chinle Formation of New Mexico.

The only known skull of Daemonosaurus differs dramatically from all other Triassic theropods. It is short and deep, with extremely large premaxillary and maxillary teeth in the upper jaw, earning the animal its specific name, chauliodus--'buck-toothed'.

Chinle Formation, Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, USA.

Upper Triassic, ~205.6 - 201.6 Ma.
