>>5034080If you put one of these things in a T.rex enclosure, minus the active machinery part, would that be considered enrichment?
>>5034167I think they would prefer something more natural looking

>>5034155Fixed it.
>>5034396That's a pretty good looking Allo, but I don't know why everyone seems to think the Morrison was dominated by Sequoia. They weren't even present.
>>5034412Nonsense. Elatides aren't actually that common. Morrison is dominated by Cheirolepidiaceae (Monkey-puzzle Trees with smaller foliage basically) and Ginkgophytes with fern understories. And no, fern prairies don't exist. In the hills and mountains other conifers begin to dominate such as Pinaceae and Sequoiadendron (not Sequoia).
>>5034416Also cycads are pretty common.
>>5034416Oh my that's just beautiful
I'm going to post some random bullshit I have.
RETVRN TO TRADITION
>>5034442What the fuck
VGH what could have been
>>5034329>BRO>BRO WAKE THE FUCK UP>TURN ON THE NEWS BRO THEY SAY THERE WAS A METEOR STRIKE>>5034447>>5034449>>5034450Fuck yes, based Dinotopia enjoyer
>>5034047It's technically paleo art.
>>5034443>>5034447>>5034449>>5034450Dinotopia was kino. I'd love a new version with more accurate dinos. Imagine how pretty that would be.
>>5034457That's a sick full tilt sprint he's got going
>>5034198Quetz looks like a mob boss and T Rex is his enforcer.
Mtg ixalan had some amazing fantasy dinosaurs
>>5034494There are decent MTG dinosaurs that are more realistic.
>>5034506>In 1903, at Willow Creek, Montana, several fossil osteoderms were discovered "lying upon the surface of the soil" by John Bell Hatcher and T.W. Stanton. >These osteoderms were initially attributed to the ankylosaurid dinosaur Euoplocephalus. Excavation at the site, carried out by W.H. Utterback, yielded further fossils, including additional osteoderms, as well as vertebrae, ribs, and a pubis.>When these specimens were examined, it became clear that they belonged to a large crocodilian and not a dinosaur; upon learning this, Hatcher "immediately lost interest" in the material. After Hatcher died in 1904, his colleague W. J. Holland studied and described the fossils.Imagine calling modern paleontologists faggots, clearly John Hatcher was one.
>>5034518>Hatcher "immediately lost interest" in the materialLol
>>5034496Kek fuck dem mushroom people
>>5034518>losing interest in this
>>5034679Apparently, it's the jews. By discrediting an entirely jew produced movie about frog-dinosaur hybrids by showing real dinosaurs did not look like frog-dinosaur hybrids, the jews have with one stroke of the menorah turned every white man in paleontology gay.This is what feather haters actually believe.
>>5034653>snowWhy is it that pop paleo retards are always looking for a new scientific inaccuracy to dickride? I just remembered a stat about autism being highly correlated with transgenderism for some reason. I'm sure it's unrelated.
>>5034725>snow never fell until jesus invented it in 1776
>>5034679Some people are upset by lying. We know you aren't and love to do it though, so just be content that you've had attention paid to you.>>5034692Jurassic Park is intentionally inaccurate. If you bots could read, you would know that from the book. And yet, the dinosaurs in JP are worlds more accurate than 98% of paleoart produced since it came out.
>>5034730That's right. Now seethe about it for a while.
>>5034731Feathers aren't a lie tho. They're strongly supported by mountains of fossil evidence.
Reminder to ignore the baiters who want to talk about shit without posting art.If they're not posting art they should not be replied to.End the cycle of baiting and ruining these threads.t. antifeather poster
>>5034742>STOP DISAGREEING WITH MY DISINFOThat is fantasy art. None of the dinosaurs are accurate and humans had not even made it out of the tree shrew days yet.Maybe /tg/ would be a better home for you
>>5034745You are free to disagree. There are just faggots who turn this into a debate thread instead of a paleoart thread.>That is fantasy art. None of the dinosaurs are accurate and humans had not even made it out of the tree shrew days yet.Nobody cares.
Remember, no art = no reply.
>hurr
>>5034745>putting dorsal quills on a Triceratops>calling other people's art "inaccurate"Wew
>>5034750>you just know
>>5034750What is it with anime girls and dinosaurs?
>>5034767When are you going to stop moping about the retarded Brazillian piss fetishist and update your comic?
>>5034767Why did you misspell "most" mist twice?
>>5034795That is really stupid
>>5034442Is this Avatar?
>>5034494>>5034496I hate what Magic has become but I do enjoy Ixalan's lightly feathered fantasy dinosaurs to go with the aztec theme, like they've got a little Quetzalcoatl in em. Shame they're surrounded by stronk righteous indegenes, fat whamen pirates and gay vampire conquistadors. (no hate to the fish people, fish people are cool)
>>5034731>Some people are upset by lying>especially when the lies are actually truth>and we want our lies to be truth for ideological reasonsAll maniraptorans had feathersCladism is truthJews had nothing to do with itIt's not a conspiracyIt doesn't prove or disprove any religion (except maybe orthodox judaism)It didn't turn anyone gay when the ancient dragons... were just a different style of dragonGet over it
Unironically, my first thought seeing >>5034442 was it looks like a Hieronymus Bosch piece.
>>5034868>son of a fucking smelly hateful whoreSon of a whore is literally a favorite israeli insult. That's why it's so common in places like online forums.
>>5034879>Primitive WarDidn't this just come out?I wonder if it's any good
>all this unrealistic shitCan we get some realistic depictions please? pic rel
>>5034924Fucking sick
>>5034927Ok.
>>5034926Just saw it and I enjoyed it. I think if someone can enjoy the 1st Kong:Skull Island movie then they'll enjoy Primitive War.Though picrel in >>5034879 is from the sequel book Animus Infernal, since the movie was based on the 1st novel w/ the same name.
Some pterodactyls I painted
>>5034971I already posted it in the previous thread, all i have left is dinosaurs
>>5034992Really cool anon
>>5034992Very nice.
>>5035024what a chonky Gastornis.
>>5035059Holy kino
>>5035059Fucking kino
>>5035395This made me google to see if Earth had rings in the past [spoiler]it apparently did[/spoiler]
>>5035529I don't know why but when you said you googled it, for some reason my brain thought you were checking google Earth.
>>5035404STANDING HEREI REALIZE
>>5035646What the fuck is up with this faggot trend of trying to turn everything into a monitor lizard?
>>5035827Is it a common idea that ceratopsian horns would have been covered in skin or whatever is going on here?
>>5035865Its believed they were covered in keratin
>>5035911I'm aware, but I'm talking about how there's a seamless blending between the horn and the skull in the illustration.
>>5035913I love this one
>>5035923I think it’s depicting that short lived trend of ceratopsians having keratin all over their heads.
>>5035651RIP brent
>>5034416In the artwork =/= dominated by
>>5035923There was some speculation going back some years that maybe ceratopsian heads were covered by a continuous sheath of keratin kinda like a crocodile or certain birds but now we know that’s not the case
>>5036375This guy died?
>>5036781Missed opportunity with nigersaurus
>>5036382And this is exactly why wild speculation is bad practice. Fortunately, this is one example we don't have to live with for the next 30 years.
>>5036803fred should make some designs for that game
>>5034745>That is fantasy art.So is yours. The difference is one is openly fantasy and doesn't pretend to be anything else, while the one you posted pretends to be accurate and real.
>>5037123Spino will always be my no. 1 favorite dinosaur. Though ironically my "favorite group" of dinosaurs flip-flops between sauropods and thyreophorans.
>>5034818Big Phil Tippet "Prehistoric Beast" vibes from this one.
>>5035059Welcome to Antediluvian menagerie!
>>5037477forgot pic, a classic.
>>5037608Mamenchisaurus is a cursed creature
>>5037613A very intriguing sauropod nonetheless.
>>5034745>Maybe /tg/ would be a better home for youYou say that as if we weren't already here.
>>5037608Why is Mamenchisaurus in quotation marks?
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09453-6
>>5038115Mamenchisaurus is a wastebasket taxon and the majority of the species assigned to it aren't actually members of it, including that one>>5038122I was just thinking of Spicomellus and how it might have looked last night, lmao
>>5038124Really? That's what you're going with? Mamenchisaurus probably isn't even real. But if any of them are, they're clearly closely related.

how floppy do you like your 'saurs
>>5038166As little as realistically possible
>>5038166T. rex had a throat sac, so veryAnd make it turn blue when it’s inflated that would be cool

>>5038235Very nice
>>5034155does this head armour make no sense to anyone else?anyone who fights with it would eventually have both of the skin sections pierced by horns/teeth etc.
>>5038251I believe that's because most ceratopsians used it as a display structure. Funnily enough Triceratops is the only one to not have holes in its frill and also happens to be the one that lives with Tyrannosaurus. I think the bone breaking bite of the T. rex made Triceratops do away with the holes and adapt solid frills for protection
>>5038251Frills are only incidental head armor. They're mostly for display purposes. They definitely DO block a bite to the neck though.
>>5038253Torosaurs have the holes. You'll looking at not fully mature Ceratopsians. Yes, we know reddit, longrich was right because longrich was right and we all believe in circular logic now.
>>5038255what
>>5038257Torosaurs are the end stage of Triceratops. They have the fenestrae you're looking for. But you can't even say that these days because every redditard will start screaming "longrich won! longrich won! it's been debunked!" despite none of them being able to actually explain WHY Torosaurus isn't just a big Triceratops.
>>5038259Nah
>>5038253Avaceratops also lacks holes
>>5038270Here we go. So confident, but doesn't even know why. But sure know that everyone is just as confident so it must be right, correct?Then we'll go through all the actual evidence (the literally one skull) and then you'll be told about evidence you don't even know about. Then you'll ignore it all because the truth never mattered to you in the first place. Just the culture war. Because you're a faggot.
>>5038273Avaceratops is a baby. Likely of Nasutoceratops.
Paleo? Art?
>>5038277>>5038275
>>5038273I did not know that. That's cool
>>5038274The fucking culture war. Give me a break
>>5038157we kinda knew this existed, boverisuchus doesnt come out of nowhere
>>5038122OK but what in the sweet fuck could've possibly warranted having this much anti-predator defense? Far as I know, the only evidence of theropods in Spicomellus' formation are mere footprints
>>5038397The theropods around there were smart enough not to die. Clearly they were badasses. When you find a fossil you find a retarded loser who fell into mud or got squished by a rock.
>>5038251Actually it may be for the distinct purpose of species recognition. Bovids in Africa have differently shaped horns for this reason.
>>5038166The bottom ones remind me of a prude old man holding his head up and stuttering "wh- why I've never heard such a thing!" while his jowls jiggle
>>5038430too paleo, go forward a bit
>>5038397>the only evidence of theropods in Spicomellus' formation are mere footprints"Evidence" when it comes to the fossil record is not to be entirely trusted. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, due to the low chance of fossilization to begin with we have only a handful of species - barely enough to fill the world's museums - which represent the biota of millions of years. We are missing the vast majority of not only dinosaur individuals, but also species. There were theropods, they didn't fossilize, that's the end of it.

>>5039468Ayy lmao
>>5039212>Inaccuracy>GoreIs there a more iconic duo?
>>5038277>Fern """prairies"""Threadly reminder that paleontology is not a scientific discipline. It's a creative writing exercise.
>>5039825No inaccuracies.>>5039827No grass plains.
>>5039850There were no plains of any kind. Dinosaurs will never have feathers. I don't care how many chinese escalators you feed "people" to.
>>5039852
>>5039215This makes me wish that we knew much more about what caves were like millions of years, like the types of animals that lived inside them and if any of them were endemic to the subterranean environment like some species today. Like a giant millipede related to Arthropleura that lived in caves during the Carboniferous or blind cave temnospondyls during the Triassic. All we have are a few records from the Pleistocene. Mountains and the deep ocean are also highly mysterious in terms of what they were like in the past.
>>5039852>There were no plains of any kind.> dude blows his gasket over an illustration showing 50 acres of flat landThe fuck is your defect?
>>5041482Oh look it's the tranny non-argument, the sure sign of a faggot propagandist.>Infiltrate and shit all over everything>You should stop turning everything to shit>OMG WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH ME!?!?!
>>5041513oh look it's the incel non-argument, the sure sign of someone who has never seen a vagina in real life>discussion that has nothing to do with trannies>incel comes in, takes a shit on the floor, starts screeching about trannies>"YOU'RE SAYING THING I DON'T LIKE UR A TRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I didn't even read that shit. Seethe all you want. The Truth shall march on.
If you could manipulate the chaos of quantum mechanics to look into the ancient past would you, even if looking once destroyed the ability to ever look again?
>>5041520Incel is a woman's word.
Do you think it would be possible to befriend a Tyrannosaurus rex and form a close bond with it? Like Primal. Maybe if you raised one from an egg.
>>5043248Yes.
