Hello everyone, with twitters potential doom on the doorstep I try to spread out a little more. My name is Joschua Knüppe, I'm a professional paleoartist from Germany. If you are not familiär with paleoart: I do things often a little different.

This sketch shows Mamenchisaurus, an animal famous for it's very long neck. But were you aware that it also had a very weird skull. Tall and narrow with quite large teeth, it appeared to be a picky eater and considering how much reach it had it was probably able to get away with it.

“The longest-necked dinosaur on record was a Jurassic beast with a 49.5-foot-long (15.1 meters) neck, a new study finds.

That's more than six times the length of a giraffe's neck and about 10 feet (3 m) longer than the length of a school bus. This long-necked sauropod, known as Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum, lived about 162 million years ago during the Jurassic period in what is now the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of northwestern China, according to the study, published Wednesday (March 15) in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology.

"The long neck of Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum, like those of other sauropods, would have made the animal an efficient forager, able to graze on the huge volumes of browse necessary to fuel such a huge body before moving to the next vegetation-rich spot," study first author Andrew Moore (opens in new tab), a paleontologist at Stony Brook University in New York, told Live Science in an email.

Researchers discovered M. sinocanadorum's fossils in 1987, but they didn't find much — only a jaw bone and some neck vertebrae and neck ribs. However, these were enough to tell paleontologists a lot about the long-dead dino. "All sauropods had long necks, but mamenchisaurids were standouts, with some of the most extreme neck proportions of anything in the history of terrestrial life," Moore said.”

Hi there!

Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum, in the latest redescription, it’s the longest neck for an animal, up to 15 meters long

#Archovember Day 19 - Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum

Native to Late Jurassic China, Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum took “long neck” to the next level. Mamenchisaurus’ had 18-19 elongated cervical vertebrae (depending on species). Their necks had a lot of downward flexibility, indicating they would have fed at lower levels. M. sinocanadorum was the largest Mamenchisaurus species, and one of the largest sauropods of all time. The type specimen is estimated at 26 meters (85 ft) long, with 12 meters (39 ft) of that devoted to neck. Two large cervical vertebrae found in the same formation as other Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum specimens remain undescribed but are attributed to M. sinocanadorum, and suggest an estimated length of 35 meters (115 ft), but this estimate is hotly debated.

In the Oxfordian stage of China, Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum would have lived alongside other sauropods like Omeisaurus and the club-tailed Shunosaurus, basal ceratopsians Chaoyangsaurus and Yinlong, the stegosaurids Chialingosaurus, Chungkingosaurus, Jiangjunosaurus, and Tuojiangosaurus, the allosauroid Yangchuanosaurus, the quilled heterodontosaur Tianyulong, and the famously-colored avialans Anchiornis and Caihong.

Okay so I was scouring jojowiki.com as usual and it says there that Diego's dinosaur form is based on an outdated record of a Utahraptor, and I don't know anything about them but I have a slight suspicion they were found in Utah.

I dunno just thought it was funny how to the point the name is. "it's a raptor in Utah, let's call it Utahraptor"

You blame Jim Kirkland over on his twitter for naming them that.

But yeah, "[Place name]saurus [place name]ensis" is a meme in the paleocommunity for a reason. (The word "ensis" meaning "from [place name]".) Image souce: Adam-Loves-Dinosaurs.

I think Utahraptor is probably the most famous one. When another large dromeosaur was found in Dakota, DePalma felt it natural to smash the usual dromeosaur suffix of "raptor" with the prefix of [Place name] to name Dakotaraptor.

A dinosaur not many realise was intended to be named after a place is Mamenchisaurus. (Source: Cervente on Tumblr)

It was discovered in (yes I'm using Wikipedia's text) Mǎmíngxī (马鸣溪 'horse-neighing brook') by Yang Zhongjian (楊鍾健), grandfather of Chinese Palaeontology. However, Yang wasn't from the area and mistook the intonation for the locale name. So he ended up calling it (馬門溪龍屬), from Mǎménxī (马门溪 'horse-gate brook').

That's probably the most fun one I can think of, but the others are like...

Koreacertops. Aegyptosaurus. Argentinosaurus. Patagotitan (Patagonia). Chilesaurus (Chile, but apparently it sounds like "dick" in latin countries?) Edmontosaurus (Canadian province, Edmonton). Albertosaurus (Candadian province Alberta, named after Princess Louise Carolina Alberta... named after Prince Albert). Gondwanasuchus (A crocodile actually, that was found in São Paulo, you know where, which USED to be part of the supercontinent Gondwana). Adamantisaurus is named from the same formation the croc was found, Adamantina.

Probably the most common kind of argument on the internet regarding dinosaurs at the moment is names and... IMO, it's not worth it unless it's REALLY bad or a bit mishandled, like Kuru kulla or Mamenchisaurus. But then, that's what the ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) is usually for.

Anyway, Thanos is the worst dinosaur name in current use. Grapes, I need your Brazilian Portuguese expertise to write a strongly worded letter to Rafael Delcourt and Fabiano Vidoi Iori on good naming conventions. Obrigado Uva!
