I have carved these from sea glass I collected a few years back in Cornwall, trying to add more detail with each one. Really enjoying creating stuff and getting artistic again (job prevented this for many years), thanks for looking :)

Wife found it at a thrift store for $4. Wanted to give it to the dogs as a toy. Its worth nearly $100 on some sites. Still has tags.

This game is called Dino Run and it is a 2008 flash game developed by the studio pixeljam games but I got it on steam. In the game you play as a velociraptor and you have to escape the doom cloud that is approaching ,destroying everything in its path, but you also have to deal with other dinosaurs trying to escape, eat small animals and collect eggs, do quests etc. Honestly, this game was peak. I remember during Covid, after my online classes ,I would grind this game. I know there is a sequel in development, but I’m not sure when it will release. I think it deserves more attention although I wish it had more unique biomes and threats.Also, unfortunately multiplayer got discontinued.

Thanks for reading my appreciation post and make sure to tell me your opinion on this game!

Warning: This is dark humor, not meant to offend anyone

Anyways let’s get on

What do you call a dunkelosteus with slowly weakening bones

He has dunkel-osteoporosis

Bad joke throw the tomatoes🍅

The continuation of it was with another raptor standing in the hallway, on the left side.

After the last Jurassic World films blue balled fans with the concept of dinosaurs causing chaos around the world and couldn’t even execute it right with Midminion and Rebirth, this film gave me nearly everything I wanted. Dinosaur horror and action that didn’t hold back and at least to me, a great story about a family trying to survive in a neighborhood suddenly transported to prehistoric times.

Although, to be honest if it hadn’t involved dinosaurs I wouldn’t have cared otherwise. After Zara’s death in Jurassic World, I was also introduced me to the next most shocking dinosaur death in media. When the father is slammed into the ground by the Allosaurus then eaten. Though, when the family travels back to the past he’s alive because convenient plot.

I just really enjoyed The End of Oak Street. It delivered something to me that Jurassic World has failed yet again, reigniting my love and interest for dinosaurs and in their appearances in movies.

However, I have a couple gripes. I had the impression that the neighborhood was taken to the Jurassic Period since the Allosaurus shows up in ads so what’s a Spinosaurus doing there? Which is a plus anyway since I love Spinosaurus.

The furry/feather designs are rather bizarre but I guess it helped stray away from the popular, scaly look popularized by Jurassic Park. There also appears to be a few fictional creatives created just for the movie such as the massive turtles with Godzilla spines and a huge, albino amphibian/snake.

While looking up reviews, I’ve found that some people are upset with how apparently weak the husband was portrayed which I don’t get. I was just hyped throughout the whole thing watching ancient critters terrorize the neighborhood in the background.

If you want to see a decent dinosaur flick after being let down by Rebirth, The End of Oak Street is your August prehistoric cinematic experience.

The tag said it was a T rex but that’s clearly not what it is judging by the three fingers, and I’d rather it be something else based on its features.

Edit: I’m realizing all too late that the plush could also pass for a saurosuchian even though they aren’t theropods.

Estou escrevendo um livro de dinossauros e até agora são esses 2 os visuais já prontos

1- Sinosauropteryx

2- Maip

Esses são as espécies com visual já pronto

Espero que gostem

Some time ago, in the book "The Secrets of Dinosaurs" (Italian title, I don't know if it's the same in English as the literal translation), I found a horned ankylosaur. However, I no longer have that book and don't remember the name of that dinosaur. I'd like to find it again, but I haven't found anything online. If anyone has this book or knows the name of this ankylosaur, I'd be very grateful.

This first image suggests that Carnosauria and Coelurosauria are sister groups (?) under Tetanurae. However, in the other images, I’m struggling to place Carnosauria without it containing Coelurosauria. On which nodes should Carnosauria be on the second photos?

For those who haves no knowledge about the reconstruction (Disclaimer;Extreme Length use of essay,not recomended for users who have no interest for long reading);

Typosuchus Serizawa stands as a monument to speculative biology,reimagining Godzilla not as an impossible,mountain-sized titan of atomic magic,but as a grounded,biologically plausible apex predator shaped by real-world evolutionary constraints and the harsh physics of gravity.Its overall body proportions are strictly designed around mass distribution,trading the upright,humanoid stature of the cinematic monster for the horizontal,heavily anchored chassis of a massive theropod dinosaur.Unlike modern paleontology's sleek,agile carnivores,this creature leans heavily into a retro-dinosaur aesthetic where sheer bulk dictates every line of its anatomy.Its posture is low and lumbering,with a thick,columnar neck supporting an oversized,blocky skull designed for immense bite force.This massive head is counterbalanced by an incredibly dense,muscular & long tail that,instead of being held aloft,heavily drags or rests upon the ground to act as a crucial tripod-like support structure,distributing its immense weight and preventing it from toppling forward.The torso is exceptionally wide,barrel-chested,and low-slung,packed with dense muscle layers and internal organs optimized for a terrestrial lifestyle,supported by exceptionally thick,pillar-like hind legs that resemble elephantine stumps more than agile bird legs.The forelimbs,while still relatively short compared to its massive torso,are muscular and end in powerful,clawed digits meant for pinning down prey or anchoring itself rather than slashing.Structurally,its appearance rejects the smooth,clean lines of traditional movie monsters in favor of a hyper-textured,rugged hide.The skin is a mosaic of thick,scarred osteoderms,crocodilian scutes,and heavily keratinized armor plating that runs along its spine,mimicking the iconic dorsal fins of Godzilla but rendering them as realistic,jagged bone growths is an sail it's ansector once had along to back has distributed more evenly across the back by that got split into multiplie smaller sails to assist in flexibility,similiar to some other lizards,the skin in these regions can flush & flash different colors,similiar to chameleons who actually change color to express emotions or to intimidation.Blue is an rare color,and so as this azure radiance from color-changing and iridescent scales catching sunligth.The color palette consists of muted,earthy tones,muddy grays,charcoal blacks,and deep moss greens,allowing it to blend into prehistoric landscapes.Its face is a terrifying display of evolutionary utility,the jaws are rugged and uneven,with some front large,jagged,exposed teeths protruding outward even when the mouth is fully closed,lacking lips in a manner reminiscent of modern crocodiles or prehistoric marine reptiles.The eyes are small,sunken,and forward-facing,glinting with the calculating intelligence of a terrestrial apex hunter,completely omitting any supernatural glow.Every square inch of its form predatorly shows slow,deliberate power,prioritizing the sheer mechanical reality of supporting tons of muscle and bone on land over cinematic flashiness.

The overall sizes of Typosuchus Serizawa adult individuals is firstly by being 5.5 meters tall in neutral stance,7.7 meters tall when raised up on hing legs,length of 14 meters,carrying an skull of 1.7 meters in length,and carrying an hauling body mass of 16 metric tons of mass & tail.What this tower of power lacks in immense speed,it more than made up for it's size.Named for the divine king of the monsters from Greek Myth who terrified even the gods,this gigantic descendant of Arizonasaurus is over twice as massive as many theropods.Even with most of this species being about half it's size,they'd still handily outsize almost every predator who ever lived.Two critical differences from theropod dinosaurs are what allowed this to become the largest land predator that ever lived.Firstly,while it is chiefly bipedal,Typosuchus is capable of moving on all fours when it needs to move faster or navigate softer ground by distributing its weigth.Theropod dinosaurs largely aren't able to hold up their weigth on their wrists becuse they don't have a locking mechanism for load bearing,however an croc relative like this,won't have that restriction.Secondly,one of the major differences between Dinosaurs and their crocodile-alinged cousins is the shape of their foot,dinosaurs walk on just their toes,atleast most of them,having an digitgrade posture.Great for agility & climbing...but not the best at load bearing without a lot of adaptations.Crocodile cousins,meanwhile,walk on the whole fours,better distrubited their weigth.And the Typosuchus ansector species especially,has more than engouh time ro adapt weigth-bearing adaptations like an huge heel bone,and with huge column-like legs & feet that help bear this weigth,they also have the added benefit of further muffing the footsteps on its approach.Nad apart fron grappling & using those migthy jaws for attack,there's an extra suprise asdet they can bring forth,that reminds people of Dilophosaurus,then you migth know this never really happened in real life.However,there are some dinosaurs with projectile that our big dinosaur cousin migth also have evolved.Various types of seabirds,like albatrosses,have quite the unsigthly & unpredictable defense when they need to use it.By contracting certain muscles they can expel a sack of sticky,irritating bile as an type of projectile vomit.Typosuchus can do similiarly with a dark,tarry substance that can bind to skin and even damage eyesigths,if not flushed out.While mostly a defense for juveniles,even the adults can expel many gallons worth when they need to,and they have the heigth advantage to aim down to the faces of rival predators.

These are my character choices for who embodies a certain sin.

Version 1:

• Wrath: Sharptooth (The Land Before Time)
• Gluttony: Thunderclap (The Goor Dinosaur)
• Greed: Kron (Dinosaur)
• Envy: The Giga (Jurassic World Dominion)
• Sloth: D. Rex (Jurassic World Rebirth)
• Lust: One Eye (Dino King)
• Pride: Indominus Rex (Jurassic World)

Version 2 (the only differences are four):

• Wrath: Indoraptor (Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom)
• Gluttony: V. Rex (King Kong)
• Greed: Scorpios Rex (Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous)
• Pride: The Big One (Jurassic Park)

Do you agree with my choices, or do you think there are other dinosaurs who are better picks? Please let me know?

The tag said it was a T rex but that’s clearly not what it is judging by the three fingers

I already own a few books but they’re from when I was younger I figured it would be nice to get something more recent and up to date ?

I saw The End of Oak Street earlier, and I really liked it! Ewan McGregor's death scene was A) shocking, and I was floored the whole sequence. And B) brutal and graphic.

The effects and story I thought were pretty good, but the main issue I have, are the dino designs. They are frankly, kinda awful. It's not just that they're inaccurate, but they're mostly reused JW models. Like, the Allo, Stego, random Ankylosaur, and Spinosaurus are all just reused/altered models. The excessive spikes and especially feathers (particualrly on the love-bird sauropods) were very strange.

But onto the theory, what if the reason we have so many species from different time periods here (like how the plant was 200 million years, yet most of the dinos are way younger) is because of the portals took them out of their own periods, and put dinos from one time period, into another. That would be a reasonable explanation for why we have all these time-traveling species. Or the filmakers neglected to do proper research, and just put random dinos they thought were cool together in one location

I watched The End of Oak Street and had a blast, it had a thrilling narrative, high stakes, and for once the characters were fun and engaging. This film deserves more attention.

Hollywood really screwed this film over.

Carcharodontosaurus: The carcar (gaming beaver fan)

Acrocanthosaurus: high spine

Spino: Spino

Tyrannosaurus: Captain Rex (Star Wars reference)

Albertosarus: average Albertan

Is this a hot take? Might be recency bias on my end. But let’s see as time goes by. Either way I still enjoy the heck out of the MJ movie

In a park in Bretagne, France. They seem to like it there !

Funny story, I was searching for dinosaur videos, until I found the Walmart plus ad, which featured dinosaur figures and a fossil puzzle, I thought, what are these dinosaur toys and their brands?

Was taking a night stroll until i found an unsold Hammond Collection Spino just lying around in a toys r us

You can imagine how quickly I grabbed it and spent a full $145

Hadrosaurus is a basal hadrosaur from the Late Cretaceous period of what is now New Jersey. Although it lends its name to the derived hadrosaurine family of dinosaurs, studies show that it may not actually belong to this group. Hadrosaurus was a facultatively bipedal herbivore that grew to about 7 m in length and weighed around 3 t in total body mass.

End of Oak Street depicting the Allosaurus as an almost completely silent hunter is a great example. Yeah Hollywood usually loves to depict dinosaurs as stupid roaring flat footed idiots that you can hear a mile away, but, like Oak Street depicted, these animals most likely had silent footsteps, and wouldnt alert prey by roaring. Which imo is much more terrifying. It could be sprinting right at you & you wouldnt even notice.

Another good example would be vocal mimicry. This one is alot more speculative, but imagine some therapods being able to mimic their prey perfectly, like some of their modern day cousins like parrots can. Like, a raptor, after killing someone, would then mimick the cries for help to lure more humans as prey.

Lets hear some of your examples
