[Just for fun] Trex Vs Triceratops : The Most DISRESPECTFUL Dinosaur Fight Ever
In Depth Qinlingosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in China during the late Cretaceous. Very little is known for certain about Qinlingosaurus because at the time of writing this dinosaur is only known from a few vertebrae and a couple of hip bones. However, given that these fossils have been recovered from … Read more
In Depth Described in 2012, Europejara has gone down as the first tapejarid pterosaur known from Europe. At the time of writing the only known fossils of this pterosaur are a partial skull and lower jaw. The preserved portion of the skull is two hundred and thirty millimetres long, though in life the skull is … Read more
In Depth Despite the fact that Mythunga is only known from a partial skull it is still one of the best preserved Australian pterosaur fossils which are in themselves rare from Australia. This is not to say that Australia didn’t have its fair share of pterosaurs, just that they did not preserve very well in … Read more
In Depth So far Pinacosaurus appears to have been one of the most numerous of the Asian ankylosaurs given the large numbers of fossil remains that have been found for this genus. This large number combined with the high level of preservation in many of the specimens mean that the validity of the genus is … Read more
In Depth Possibly the main feature of interest to researchers of Germanodactylus is the head crest. Although quite unremarkable compared to some other pterosaurs like Nyctosaurus or Tupandactylus, it is a good example of the early forms that seem to be more common to the more advanced pterodactyloid pterosaurs. The crest itself is best known … Read more
In Depth Jinyunpelta is a genus of ankylosaurid dinosaur that lived in Asia around the early/late Cretaceous boundary. The presence of Jinyunpelta at that time suggests that it was among the first ankylosaurid dinosaur genera to have evolved a tail club. Further Reading - The most basal ankylosaurine dinosaur from the Albian-Cenomanian of China, with … Read more
In Depth Unfortunately like with so many other Australian dinosaurs, Atlascopcosaurus is based upon the description of very incomplete remains, in this case part of a jaw. This jaw was been compared to other dinosaur types which has yielded the conclusion that Atlascopcosaurus was probably a member of the Euornithopoda. Also a very rough estimate … Read more
In Depth Baurusuchus is a genus of terrestrial crocodile that lived in South America during the late Cretaceous. The genus is noted for having a strong similarity to the genus Cynodontosuchus, though Baurusuchus was notably bigger and with stronger and more robust teeth. There has been past speculation that Baurusuchus may be a synonym to … Read more
In Depth There are some fossil animals that just seem to be born to confuse us, and Longisquama is certainly one of these. The partial post cranial remains of this diapsid reptile seem to belong to a fairly small lizard. What really makes this creature bizarre however are the long appendages that seem to attach … Read more
In Depth Simosuchus is a genus of small and probably vegetarian crocodile that lived in Madagascar during the late Cretaceous. The vegetarian theory about the diet comes from study of the teeth and jaws which are much better suited to processing plant material than flesh. Simosuchus also exhibits a greatly reduced tail, quite possibly because … Read more
