A Gorgosaurus libratus feasts upon a recently killed Spiclypeus shipporum 76 million years ago in what is now the Judith River Formation of Montana; Three small Azhdarchids and two Enantiornithids arrive to take scraps that the large predator has left behind.

0:00 - Introduction Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.
Find the episode webpage at: Episode 26 - Control www.jurassickparkcast.blogspot.com/2022/08/episode-26-control.html
06:17 - Interview with special guest Dr. Jordan Mallon In this episode, my terrific guest Dr. Jordan Mallon returns to chat with me about: Tyrannosaurus imperator, T-regina, and T-rex, amorphous reptile bones, lumping and splitting, species diversity, extinctions, Triceratops trivia, big dinosaurs in Late Cretaceous North America, the bias in the fossil record towards large dinosaurs, naming dinosaurs like Spiclypeus, dinosaur names based on the Jurassic Park film, dinosaurs named in honour of Michael Crichton, dino-mania, styracosterna v. ankylopollexa, comparative anatomy, hadrosaurs v. saurolphines, synonymizing dinosaur names, Gryposaurus, Edmontosaurus v . Ugrunaaluk, phylogenetic mapping, why DNA doesn't preserve (hint, it's water!), and more!
15:00 - Why lumping and splitting different species of dinosaurs?
18:10 - The coolest things about triceratops!
29:15 - Naming dinosaurs, and dinosaurs named after Jurassic Park.
Plus dinosaur news about:
01:25 - Tyrannosaurus imperator, Tyrannosaurus regina and T. rex! Insufficient Evidence for Multiple Species of Tyrannosaurus in the Latest Cretaceous of North America: A Comment on “The Tyrant Lizard King, Queen and Emperor: Multiple Lines of Morphological and Stratigraphic Evidence Support Subtle Evolution and Probable Speciation Within the North American Genus Tyrannosaurus”
03:48 - A specimen-level phylogenetic analysis and taxonomicrevision of Diplodocidae (Dinosauria, Sauropoda)
0:33 - Featuring the music of Snale www.snalerock.bandcamp.com/releases
Intro: Supergroovy. Outro: T-Shirts.
The Text: This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 126 - 133.
01:00:16 - A synopsis of the chapter Control in Jurassic Park Synopsis: As Jurassic Park’s employees conclude their demonstration of all their systems of control, Grant and Malcolm find themselves uneasy with the park’s approach to controlling living, breathing animals in an artificial setting, which is aiming to recreate a natural park setting.
01:06:33 - Analyzing the literary and stylistic techniques
01:13:12 - Discussions surround The Illusion of Control, dinosaurs, Version 4.4, Control is a hoax, Timeline and the God Complex Discussions surround: The Dinosaurs, Version 4.4, Control is a Hoax, the Timeline, and the God Complex.
Side effects: May cause animals like the Gila monster and rattlesnake to share their hemotoxins.

#Archovember Day 2 - Furcatoceratops elucidans
Hailing from Late Cretaceous Montana, USA, this centrosaur was first described in 2015 as a possible species of Avaceratops. However, this past year it was finally thoroughly described and found to represent a new genus and species: Furcatoceratops elucidans. Because of the disarticulated state of the fossil’s skull and skeleton, it is expected to be helpful in further study of ceratopsid osteology.
An early centrosaurine, Furcatoceratops is closely related to Nasutoceratops (who was originally going to go on this year’s list before Furcatoceratops was described!) Like other Centrosaurines, it likely ate tough low-lying plant material, and may have also used its sharp beak to scavenge. The Judith River Formation where Furcatoceratops was found seems to have had a very diverse community of ceratopsids, such as Avaceratops, Medusaceratops, Spiclypeus, and Judiceratops. It would have also shared its environment with the hadrosaurs Brachylophosaurus, Corythosaurus, and Probrachylophosaurus, as well as the ankylosaur Zuul. Furcatoceratops would have been preyed on by the tyrannosaurids Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus, as well as the giant alligatoroid Deinosuchus (who we will be seeing very soon).

It’s stylised ceratopsids part two babey!!! I’m still working on refining the style, particularly in regards to the level of detail in the patterns. I think the Utahceratops is definitely my favourite so far, I’m really proud of the colour palette! Shape-wise it’s also a very nice-looking one, with almost just a diamond shape for the torso.
Also I think I will take suggestions, are there any ceratopsians that y’all would like to see in this style? There are many to pick from but I am weak and cannot choose, so let me know in the comments or reblogs or tags or whatever! I wanna keep the theme going.
My references were the Utahceratops from the original paper, Xenoceratops by Scott Hartman, and Spiclypeus by GetAwayTrike. Made digitally with Krita

Dinosaur doodling at my fave cafe again!
(I hereby declare that Judith River formation was close enogh to Two Medicine formation - which my dinosaur project thingy is based on - and I will use this as an excuse to smuggle in Spiclypeus into the project thingy. They were contemporaries too!)
I. Just. Love. That. Frill.
Referenced from here.

Ceratopsian Month #26 -- Spiclypeus shipporum
Spiclypeus (“spiked shield”) lived in Montana, USA, about 76-75 million years ago. Known from one partial skull and a few pieces of the rest of the skeleton, representing a mature adult about 10 years old, it’s estimated to have measured between 4.5 and 6m in length (14’9"-19’8").
Damage to the frill bones on one side of the skull show evidence of an infected injury, possibly inflicted by the horns of another Spiclypeus during a fight. The forelimb bones also showed symptoms of arthritis and abscessed bone infection, suggesting this particular fossilized individual had suffered a lot of pain towards the end of its life.
Tumblr media
The first two pairs of Spiclypeus’ frill spikes were fused together, folding forward over the top of the frill, and its brow horns curved out to the sides. Its ornamentation seems to have been transitional between the straighter frill spikes of earlier chasmosaurs and later more elaborately curled forms.
The fossil remains show close similarity to two other ceratopsids known from highly fragmentary material -- the dubious Pentaceratops aquilonius, and the poorly-known Ceratops montanus, the type genus of the entire ceratopsian group. All three might even be the same species (in which case Ceratops would take priority as the oldest valid name), but without more and better specimens it’s not possible to tell for certain.

Today's Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian design reveal is two-fold: not only is this the first look at the action figure color concept, but it's also an official addition to the Kickstarter line-up. By way of fan suggestions, here is Spiclypeus shipporum! (colors were loosely-inspired by the baby Leopard Gecko) This will replace Mercuriceritops in the line-up though it 's still planned for a post-Kickstarter release later on. #beastsofthemesozoic #creativebeaststudio #dinosaur #actionfigures #ceratopsian #toys #Spiclypeus #toydesign #conceptart #prehistoric #reptiles #wildlife #paleontology #naturalhistory #kickstarter https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv2TUJlXiz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vo5v7cxyrpn7

more truth: This also is not a coyote on the beach

Remembering ceratopsians start out fun when you just have to count the number of horns they have in the head but soon they all look so similar to each other and almost all have similar ".....ceratops" naming conventions that it's difficult to not get mixed up. Like to be honest I thought Spiclypeus was a hard name to remember but turns out no.
Phylogenetics wise this is good because you can really see that these animals evolved into one another but wow it is confusing as hell when it's not seen through linear time.

Next in the “last year’s art” category is Spiclypeus shipporum. I drew this almost as soon as the discovery was announced, so there weren’t many skeletal references to go on when restoring this ceratopsian (misspelling the name in the search bar may have also had something to do with it). As such, the proportions are a bit wonky and the frill is too big, but on the whole I still like this piece.

My part of the october trade at ACEO furs exchange group over at devArt. (they're looking for new members, if you'd like to give it a look)
The character prompt I got paired with was "whichever animal I wanted, in any style I wanted". Usually when I can't decide what to draw, I end up doing ceratopsids, so did a dinosaur. A slight change of scenery, though, as instead of my regular go-to choice I opted for another fave, Spiclypeus.
