[a-dinosaur-a-day]

HIHI trick or treat!!!

Daemonosaurus!

[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.

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

dracroex - 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!

Daemonosaurus May!

[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.

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

Been a while since I last uploaded pieces I made for @a-dinosaur-a-day so here are Barosaurus, Byronosaurus, Irritator, and Daemonosaurus!

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.

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

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.

Daily Dino Fact #28

[greetingsfromuranus]

Kanker sister dinos concept lol

(Marie and Lee are from the jurrassic period because they're different from the rest if the cul-de-sac (who are all cretaceous dinos) and May is a triassic dinosaur because daemonosaurus is too perfect of a design to pass up, and it works because the other kankers always make fun of her and in this AU they'll make fun of her for being triassic lol)
