I have been bullying my tyrannosaur-loving friend for the past year about Nanotyrannus being reinstated because he hates the thing.
One example of the dumb jokes I've been torturing him with:
Think the future of paleo media is gonna be a bright one. Theres more than just these works but Im finding a lot is diverse in interpretation & medium. Dinosaurs rule yall 🦖🦕
When it comes to museums here in PA, I tend to focus on the Carnegie where I volunteer. But the State Museum, while smaller, also has some cool stuff. This Triassic scene is one of my favs…
Since it's apparently #DeinonychusDay as well as #FossilFriday I will post this alternative-posture Deinonychus skeletal without further comment. For now...
This young Allosaurus encountering a crocodile by James Gurney may not be accurate(true crocodiles like this hadn’t evolved yet), but it’s certainly a stunning piece…
Official Gameplay Trailer of KYORYU!
In this gameplay we see how Tori (the young rex) gets separated from his clan to try to recover a small human skull, but that makes him get into the territory of the raptor clan (dromeosaurids) and Yama (adult Rex) must save him.
Note: Recall that this takes place in the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Japan, dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures that were brought back to life and genetically modified have outlived humans and have become the dominant species.

I find the idea that dinosaurs didn’t exist particularly stupid because you can literally go find fossils yourself. I understand asking questions, genuinely. But like, go outside. You can find trilobites. Plants. Shark teeth. And even dinosaurs in the right places.
The skull of Ceratosaurus. Adults have an estimated bite force of around 500-1100 pounds per square inch depending on where in the jaws the force is exerted.

Ceratopsids face attacking tyrannosaurs! The naturally selected patterns on their frills mimic a tyrannosaur's front-facing stare, unnerving the predators and increasing their chances of fending them off. Smaller ceratopsians on the way? Not so lucky.....
For a front-facing eyed predator like a tyrannosaur, a prolonged stare may have been unnerving- perceived as a challenge. The huge frills of ceratopsids may have had enough space to recreate an exaggerated stare. As if the beak and horn weren´t intimidating enough....
