I woke up last night thinking about Batrachotomus and that gave me the idea for this (and there's even more funky guys here, you should all be familiar with Europasaurus and Co.)

Plateosaurus

Plateosaurus is a basal sauropodomorph that lived during the Late Triassic period in what is now Central and Northern Europe. It was a bipedal herbivore with a small skull on a long, flexible neck. It had powerful hind limbs, short but muscular arms, and grasping hands with large claws on three fingers, possibly used for defense and feeding. Plateosaurus was one of the earliest described genera that is still used today, but due to its basal placement in dinosauria, it remains difficult to identify as a direct ancestor of later sauropods.

Artwork of the Plateosaurus from the Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs DLC.

It's a very primitive sauropod relative from the Triassic Period and was considered one of the largest dinosaurs of that era. Its bipedal stance contrasts the appearance of its eventual sauropod descedants.

"What is to come"

(image id is both in the alt text and below the read more- I put it under one because it's incredibly long)

And so there we have it, the 200+ followers artpiece that I have been working on for several days, if I had to guess I'd say it took 25 or so hours over eleven days. Honestly it's so surreal to me that I'm here with over 200 followers (260 as of typing this- yes, I procrastinated on this), especially when I only hit 100 followers in February. It's genuinely really nice to know that people are actually interested in my art (before anyone brings up spam bots- I know there are a few of them amongst my followers but I've checked most of them and I am 100% confident that over 200 of them are real). I don't really have much else to say really- I'm just grateful to have the support. Thanks y'all :).

[Image id: a large, lineless digital drawing of several dinosaurs. It is nighttime. At the bottom of the piece, a lone Eoraptor lunensis is walking across the floodplains- both the ground and the Eoraptor are just silhouettes, the early dinosaur has been given protofeathers. The full moon is shining, it's size is exaggerated for artistic affect. Behind the moon, the heads of sixteen different dinosaurs can be seen (listed left to right, bottom to top) Row 1- Thecodontosaurus antiquus (small sauropodomorph with light brown protofeathers, near-white undersides, straight stripes that are moderately darker than the base colour and vibrant green eyes), Coelophysis bauri (small early theropod with a long and narrow skull, its protofeathers are golden and black. A soft orange stripe runs across the back of its head, it has warm brown eyes. Row 2- Plateosaurus trossingensis (long-necked sauropodomorph, it has reddish-brown scales, light undersides, triangular stripes running down it's spine that get bigger the further down they get and pale yellow eyes), Heterodontosaurus tuckii (small ornithopod with a hooked grey beak. It has spiky green feathers, a lighter chest and a darker stripe running along its head and back, there are three small spots on its face, two behind the eye and one infront of it, it's eyes are bright yellow). Row 3- Megalosaurus bucklandii (medium-sized theropod with warm brown feathers, lighter undersides, dark spots and bright yellow eyes, there are several scars on its face), Brachiosaurus altithorax (greenish-grey true sauropod with lighter undersides, a dark pink patch on its throat, dark desaturated brown eyes and a few small scars on its neck), Archaeopteryx (early toothed bird with a black head, white neck and bright yellow eyes). Row 4- Hylaeosaurus armatus (pale brown ankylosaur with lighter undersides and vibrant green eyes), Velociraptor mongoliensis (dromaeosaur with light brown feathers, a lighter chest, a black stripe near its eye and light green eyes), Sinosauropteryx prima (small compsognathid theropod with ginger protofeathers, an off white mask and undersides and pale yellow eyes), Iguanodon bernissartensis (large greenish-grey ornithopod with a slightly darker back, pale undersides, a grey beak, and yellow eyes). Row 5- Matuku otagoense (heron with medium grey feathers and a small crest. A red stripe runs from just behind its nostrils to about a third of the way down its neck. Its undersides are white, its beak is grey and its eyes are brown), Triceratops prorsus (three-horned ceratopsian with grey-brown scales, lighter undersides, two triangular stripes between it's brow and nasal horns, reddish-orange diamond-like stripes on its frill, a hooked grey beak and golden eyes. Its brow horns curve forward at the base. Row 6- North Island brown kiwi (plump brown bird with a long pale beak, whiskers and black eyes, its nostrils are at the tip of its bill, and unlike the other dinosaurs in the sky part of its body below the neck is visible), male house sparrow (small redish-brown and grey bird with a black bib below it's bill), it has brown eyes and a dark grey bill. Row 7- rock dove (grey bird with iridescent green feathers scattered across its neck, a dark grey beak, and warm brown eyes). end id]

The plateosaurus may look a little strange at first glance, but within it exists the spark that would create the titans among titans so don't underestimate it.

More Paleo Pines-style dinosaurs! This time they're supposed to embody the aesthetic / vibes of my OCs--if they were in-game characters, these would be their mounts!

Obviously Ankylosaurus is already featured in PP, but it was fun doing the Plateosaur! It's a basal sauropod from the triassic, and while potential feathering is highly speculative, I wanted to feature it anyway to set its design apart from more traditional long-necked dinos.

[hordemama]

here are my entries for dinovember so far!!! i havent drawn a dino in a good month or so, so forgive me if these seem a bit off. however!!!! no one say NOTHIN BOUT MY MANS PLATEOSAURUS YES, HE IS CHUNKY BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!!

Patreon request for rome.and.stuff (Instagram) Plateosaurus trossingensis! (that I went a liiiittle overboard with the markings on)

Plateosaurus trossingensis is the type species of the Plateosaurids, a family of early Sauropodomorphs that existed long before the titanic long-necked sauropods of the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The Plateosaurids represented a time of transitioning for Sauropodomorphs, going from small bipeds scampering through the underbrush to lumbering giants with necks built to reach up to the tastiest leaves. However, Plateosaurus could not pronate its hands, making it incapable of walking quadrupedally. Discovered in 1834, it was the fifth named non-avian dinosaur genus still considered valid today, and is now one of the best known to science, with over 100 individuals found!

Unusual for dinosaurs, Plateosaurus trossingensis didn’t seem to have a constant max adult size. Individuals would grow rapidly and continue growing after sexual maturity, slowing down over time. Their growth was determinate, meaning they would eventually stop growing at a point, however, this point seemed to vary wildly between individuals. Adult specimens have ranged between 4.8 and 10 metres (16 and 33 ft) long and weighed between 600 and 4,000 kilograms (1,300 and 8,800 lb). While I have depicted a fairly average individual here, others have been found more than twice its size!

(Size chart by Slate Weasel)

Plateosaurus trossingensis lived in the Late Triassic of Central Europe. Unfortunately though, while P. trossingensis was apparently quite common in the Trossingen Formation, very little contemporary dinosaurs have been found there. Partial remains from other prosauropods include that of Tuebingosaurus, Gresslyosaurus, Ruehleia, and the lighter bodied Plateosaurus longiceps. Indeterminate coelophysoid remains also exist, but the most complete carnivore found here is Liliensternus, which could have preyed on smaller Plateosauruses. Other animals from this formation include turtles and temnospondyl amphibians, so this was a moist environment. It is suggested that the reason we tend to find more Plateosauruses here than other species is that their size and weight would have caused them to get mired in mud more easily, as opposed to the smaller species in the formation.

(Btw, the request tier for Patreon starts at only $5 a month. Link is pinned at the top of my page!)

Were sauropodomorphs like Plateosaurus quadrupedal or bipedal?

Entirely bipedal! There used to be debate around whether they walked quadrupedally or how much they did of each, but analysis of the forelimbs by Heinrich Mallison showed that they were actually physically incapable of walking quadrupedally!

The main issue is that the hands were unable to pronate, which would have been necessary to support the animal's weight. The arms also can't extend further forward than the shoulder, which would have been a big disadvantage when trying to walk with them. The arms are also way shorter than the legs, and the centre of mass sits over the hips anyway so there wasn't any need for the arms to support the body anyway!

Overall it results in a much more graceful animal in my opinion, that stands out more against its sauropod descendants. Obviously at some point the lineage did make the transition to four legged walking, but it was definitely after Plateosaurus!
