I’d like to see some basal ornithomimosaur content! Like Hexing or Pelecanimimus. Thanks! :)

Coming right up!

I realized too late that I may have made this a wee bit lopsided. I formally apologize for putting all Alvarezsaurs in one and all Therizinosaurs in another. They deserve to be split up like Ornithomimosaurs and Tyrannosaurs are and I apologize :(

I'd be pissed I have to do another non-avian theropod bracket, but let's face it, dromaeosaurs against tyrannosaurs would have been a mistake

Monday Musings: European Ties

In the early Cedar Mountain fossiliferous members (namely Yellow Cat and Poison Strip) show a connection to Europe through similar dinosaurs.

Polacanthine ankylosaurs were abundant in the Cedar Mountain Formation and the group was named after the European Polacanthus.

Other European nodosaurs (essentially ankylosaurs without tail clubs) from Europe include Hylaeosaurus

Europelta and Vectipelta.

In the Cedar Mountain Formation, there are several nodosaurids as well such as Gastonia,

Sauropelta,

and Cedarpelta.

Another group you may be familiar with are iguanontians named after Iguanodon of Europe.

There are several other in Europe and many found in the Cedar Mountain Formation like Iguanocolossus

and Hippodraco.

Hypsilophodon was a neornithschian from Europe and a recent American equivalent was discovered in the Cedar Mountain but has yet to be named and described.

Sauropods, often associated with the Jurassic Period, continued to thrive in the early Cretaceous. In Europe, there was representation from several groups.

Haestasaurus is macronarians like Brontomerus (similar to the Jurassic Camarasaurus).

Soriatitan is a brachiosaurid from Spain.

In the Cedar Mountain, there is Abydosaurus.

On the carnivore side of things, we had Eotyrannus, a tyrannosauroid from the Isle of Wight

and Moros, a tyrannosauroid from the Cedar Mountain Formation.

There's Pelecanimimus from Spain as a representative of ornithominosaurs

and Nedcolbertia in the Cedar Mountain Formation.

Finally, there are the dromaeosaurs like Vectiraptor in Europe

and Utahraptor in the Cedar Mountain Formation.

Tune in next week to see how the Cedar Mountain dinosaurs have ties to Asia as time progresses!

#Archovember Day 30 - Concavenator corcovatus

From the early Cretaceous of Spain comes the bizarrely crested carcharodontosaurid Concavenator corcovatus. Concavenator had two small, narrow “shark fins” on its back which possibly supported a hump. Like most sails and crests, the function of these structures is unknown. It could have been for thermal regulation or display, or both.

Concavenator has been the subject of much debate concerning its integument. Similar to Velociraptor, Concavenator had structures resembling quill knobs on its ulna. These could have been anchor points for quills similar to those seen in ornithischians like Tianyulong and Psittacosaurus, as complex wing feathers had not appeared in the fossil record yet, and especially not in allosauroids. However, if these quills are related to feathers, it would be evidence of true feathers appearing in dinosaurs other than the coelurosaurs. Complicating things are the impressions of scales found on various parts of Concavenator’s body, though none from its arms. There is some skepticism that these structures are not even quill knobs, but instead merely tendon attachments. As of now, there is not really a consensus on whether Concavenator was feathered, quilled, or fully scaled, and we can only hope for further evidence.

In the Las Hoyas site of the La Huérguina Formation, Concavenator would have lived alongside an array of crocodylomorphs, amphibians, and enantiornithine birds, the ornithomimosaur Pelecanimimus, the iguanodontian Mantellisaurus, the tapejarid pterosaur Europejara, and mammals such as Spinolestes.

alright, NOW Tooth Sockets then we can complete these gums

then it´s over to the Tounge and Limbs,

then we can blockout Rego later today and maybe, get a DragoGen Script Done or maybe even drawing one of the Dinosaurs, Like that Stork dinosaur.

this Stork Like dinosaur is an animal stems from pelecanimimus.

Pelecanimimus did such a power move. Not only does it has teeth unlike most toothless Ornithomimosaurs, it also apparently decided to have more teeth than any other theropod. "Oh cousin struthi you dont have teeth? Wah wah I have two hundred and two of them"

I've been working towards this exhibit all year, and forgot to get pictures of these guys before setting them up. xD

If you're in the Pasco area of Florida, come check them out at the Rao Musunuru art gallery at the Pasco-Hernando state college~
