idk if I asked you yet but favorite prehistoric animal?

AHEM

so for dinosaurs tyrannosaurus rex was always the favorite dinosaur ever even when i was a child and still is . it just looks awesome i dont mean its cus it was a powerful predator (that too) but it just looks so cute. its face makes me think of a dog kind of but i just love them <3 then other favorite dinosaurs are pachyrhinosaurus, specifically lakustai cause of the horns on its frill (walking with dinosaurs 3D/the movie made me love them more *atleast the version with no talking*), carnotaurus cus their little horns are so unique but theyre also absolutely SOSIG, may i say baryonyx too. i dont know why it just is

other prehistoric animals i may wanna mention (counts as a dinosaur too anyways) are dodos..... i remember reading a shitton of articles about them..... it kinda breaks my heart they got hunted to extinction. anyways, most most favorite one is also mammoth (because i already love elephants theyre my favorite animals) because IF YOU ALREADY LOVE ELEPHANTS WHY WOULD YOU NOT LOVE. THE FLUFFY ONES. then honorable mention to dimetrodons because they look funky. and also fool you because they ''look like dinosaurs'' to most people but theyre not

i may be forgetting some if not alot but those are the ones i can name on the top of my head...

#ask #dodos also fascinate me because of that one mummy fossil #like. it looks so alive. it looks alive #yet its not #also theyre pigeon relatives isnt that awesome #same thing with mammoths with the mummy thing

Ceratopsian Month #17 -- Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis

Pachyrhinosaurus (“thick-nosed lizard”) has become one of the more recognizable ceratopsian names in the last couple of decades, but its remains have actually been known for over 70 years, first discovered in the mid-1940s.

Three different species have been named within the genus, all living about 74-69 million years ago in Alberta, Canada, and Alaska, USA. The type species P. canadensis dates to roughly the middle of that time span, at an age of around 71 million years.

It was one of the largest of the centrosaurs, with the biggest specimens estimated to have measured up to 8m long (26′). Thousands of fossils have been found in a bone bed that seems to represent a mass mortality event -- possibly a herd caught in a flash flood -- with ages ranging from juveniles to adults.

Rather than horns, Pachyrhinosaurus had huge flattened bosses on its skull, which nearly grew together into a single large mass in both P. canandensis and the younger species P. perotorum. The older species P. lakustai instead had more separated bosses and a “unicorn horn” on its forehead.

(I’m also hardly the first person to speculate about fluffy pachyrhinosaurs, but since they lived in a chilly Arctic environment it’s certainly an interesting possibility.)

I SHALL ELABORATE. Fluff is a Horse Girl[tm] but for dinosaurs, he has a pet pachyrhinosaurus with fluffy yeathers (yarn feathers) and a pretty embroidered saddle that he rides, send tweet

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANON I AM P O G G I N G !!!!!!!!!!!! /pos

YOUR BRAIN IS SO GOOD THANK YOU FOR THE ELABORATION IT IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMFT DIMOSOAR!!!!!!!!!!! DINO GIRL PINCE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM POGGING!!!!!!!!!! /pos

#fira knight screeches #firas box #ANON YOU MADE MY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! #I CAN SLEEP HAPPY KNOWING FLUFF GETS DINO TO RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!

Pachyrhinosaurus, a ceratopsian with a distinctive nasal boss. I love feathers and the idea of a big fluffy ceratopsian is too good to pass up, along with a colorful saddle for traversing their cold, snowy homeland.

TIME TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ORNITHISCHIANS. Friendly reminder that SOME THINGS ARE INELIGIBLE DUE TO BEING IN LAST YEAR’S. Yes, I’m posting it early. Why not?

Basal Ornithischians

Featuring such lovelies as Pisanosaurus, the earliest known Ornithischian; Tianyulong, the MAXIMUM OVERPOOF; Scutellosaurus, the smolest Thyreophoran; and Scelidosaurus, which would pave the way for Thyreophorans to come. 

Stegosaurs

Featuring friends such as Gigantspinosaurus, the stegosaur with gigantic shoulder spikes; Tuojiangosaurus, which featured pointed plates; Miragaia, the stegosaur that thinks it’s a sauropod; and Stegosaurus, which for some reason didn’t make it in last year. 

Nodosaurids and Miscellaneous Ankylosaurs

Featuring dudes such as Hylaeosaurus, one of the three dinosaurs used to define the group back in the day; Nodosaurus, which was basically a large, birdie hedgehog; Sauropelta, which had impressive shoulder spikes; and Polacanthus, famous because of Walking with Dinosaurs. 

Ankylosaurids

Featuring familiar forms such as Gargoyleosaurus, which lived in the Morrison Formation of the Jurassic; Anodontosaurus, which had triangular points on its club rather than rounded ones; Scolosaurus, which was a staple in Campanian Alberta communities; and Gobisaurus, which had a stiffened rod instead of a tail club.

Basal Neornithischians

Featuring running dudes such as Lesothosaurus, one of the earliest known Neornithischians; Othnielosaurus, one of the only well characterized bipedal small herbivores from the Morrison; Koreanosaurus, which may have been a quadrupedal Thescelosaurid; and Thescelosaurus, which was thought to have a preserved heart and then found to, well, not. 

Ornithopods

Featuring beauties such as Tenontosaurus, which looks like what you would expect an intermediate between small bipedal runners and hadrosaurs to look like; Muttaburrasaurus, which didn’t actually have a thumb spike; Dryosaurus, one of the more famous dinosaurs from the Morrison; and Zalmoxes, which was actually smaller than one would expect due to island dwarfism.

Ankylopollexians

Featuring creatures such as Morelladon, which had a sail; Camptosaurus, which was a staple in the Morrison Formation; Draconyx, which was the Camptosaurus of the Lourinhã Formation of Portugal; and Iguanacolossus, which was quite large. 

Hadrosauriformes

Featuring famous dinosaurs such as Lurdusaurus, the Hadrosauriform that thinks it’s a sauropod (and what a handsome pair it makes with Brachytrachelopan); Ouranosaurus, one of the more famous members of this group due to its sail; Tethyshadros, which is known from Europe; and Eotrachodon, which lends credence to the idea that Hadrosaurids evolved in Appalachia. 

Saurolophines

Featuring some of the best dinosaurs such as Gryposaurus, which has an interestingly large and distinctive nose; Saurolophus, which has a cute little crest; Shantungosaurus, which is huge; and Maiasaura, the dinosaur which paved the way for a better understanding of dinosaurs as behaviorally complex creatures.

Lambeosaurines

Featuring some of the most musical nonavian dinosaurs such as Velafrons, one of the more well known Mexican dinosaurs; Charonosaurus, a close cousin of Parasaurolophus with a bent crest; Tsintaosaurus, which did not have a penis-crest; and Corythosaurus, which is one of the best known Lambeosaurines.

Pachycephalosaurs

Featuring lovely chunks such as Foraminacephale, a recently described genus which may demonstrate the existence of a Stegocerine group; Wannanosaurus, a Chinese taxon that was probably a juvenile due to its flat head; Prenocephale, which is known from the Nemegt Formation; and Stegoceras, one of the better known Pachycephalosaurs after Pachycephalosaurus (which is, sadly, ineligible). 

Basal Ceratopsians

Featuring pals such as Yinlong, an early form that shows the transition from basal Neornithischians to the Ceratopsians; Leptoceratops, a well known, bipedal, fast herbivore from Late Cretaceous North America; Gobiceratops, which has the funniest Wikipedia image I’ve ever seen; and Turanoceratops, which was the puppy-sized Ceratopsoid. 

Chasmosaurines

Featuring spikey lads such as Bravoceratops, which had the longest horns of any Ceratopsian; Titanoceratops, which may have had the longest skull of any known dinosaur; Spiclypeus, which had interesting folded-over osteoderms on its frill; and Chasmosaurus, which had an interestingly shaped skull and has juvenile remains which are just adorable. 

Centrosaurines

Featuring cuties such as Nasutoceratops, the bull-like Ceratopsian that thanks to the PSAT inspired a meme; Pachyrhinosaurus, the great Bird-Ox of nose-lump fluffiness (maybe); Diabloceratops, which was the Devil among Ceratopsians; and Einiosaurus, who swears he’s happy to see you.

Pachyrhinosaurus on a winters night.

I like drawing on black backgrounds very much.

What's the basis for your fluffy Ceratopsians? I mean I know psittacosaurus had those tail quills, but is it logical to assume all ceratopsians possessed such fluff? Just curious. :)

With discoveries like Tianyulong and Kulindadromeus it’s looking fairly likely at this point that some sort of protofeather-fluff was an ancestral trait for ornithischians. Along with Psittacosaurus’ quills, that gives the possibility of similar integumentary structures being present in ceratopsians.

We do have definite scale impressions from three ceratopsids -- Centrosaurus, Chasmosaurus, and Triceratops -- but scales and fuzz are not mutually exclusive on the same animal, and the genetic switch between scales and feathers seems to be pretty easy to flip back and forth. (We do it with domestic bird breeds!)

So I had some speculative fun with the ceratopsians, making some of the basal ones fuzzy and putting various different quill arrangements on others. And some, like Pachyrhinosaurus, got thick coats of reacquired fuzz since they were living in a chilly Arctic climate.

Also partly just because I like fluff.
