That weird juvi Trike sacrum and tail.. 

All about that Torosaurus tho 

Ceratopsians of Bozeman’s Museum of the Rockies. 

The pictures include a growth series, a side by side comparison of a T. horridus and a T. prorsus, a Torosaurus, and an Achelousaurus.

Reblog if you think Dinosaur King’s Torosaurus deserves Love and Appreciation

I've been looking for that lower picture forever. What museum is this?

What about this thing gives you the impression its a "Ceratopsian"?

The “Ceratopsian” from the Toho Film The Last Dinosaur

New Wallpaper to remind myself that mistakes happen.

Triceratops, apparently, from the North Korean/Italian cartoon series Simba: King Lion.

I bought this poster specifically because of the Avocatorosaurus

Biologists, geologists, and everyone in between, it is time to decide who shall receive the 2018 Golden Muffasaurus Award for worst palaeofail!

By January 6, whichever of the nominees gets the most notes will receive this coveted award.

This year’s nominees

Job interview

-Why do you want this job?

-I need money to buy more dinosaurs.

Some ceratopsians! Did these over a few days at the end of the year; I wanted to explore some of the cooler and odder looking species!

Might start a stagecoach ferry rocketship to the Cretaceous Period if anyone is interested.

Anyway, let me know.

I don't know much about Ornithopods but damn your SauroloPHINE

One of my first intros to nature came from watching BBC documentaries of animals in their native habitats, just existing and chilling without human intervention. The idea for this painting had been floating around in my head for a while, and its my attempt to mesh my obsessions of dinosaurs, painting, and wildlife documentaries!

Just a reminder that this thing actually existed.

No....biggie.

It’s the colour version of that image! I did this a few months ago, but wanted to wait a bit to upload it.

Perfection.

Dinovember Day 14.

An injured old male Chasmosaurus russelli walking away after getting into a skirmish for territory with another younger, more ill-tempered male. During the fight, the younger male gauged a hole in the old male’s frill, broke off the tip of one of his brow horns and gored him in the shoulder. The hole gored into the old male’s frill is minor, but the wound in his shoulder will be the death of him…

I know that I already did a piece relating intraspecific combat for Dinovember already, but I figured it’d add something more to this one here.

Given that there are instances among modern animals where confrontations between members of the same species can result in fatal injuries, it’s safe to assume that the same would be true among some large dinosaurs. I’d imagine that at least on occasion, battles between large ceratopsians would result in severe, if not outright fatal injuries. Perhaps even simple scuffles for food or aggressive displays of strength made to settle territorial or mating disputes could have sometimes gotten out of hand. 

I based the coloration of the Chasmosaurus here on the ones in Jurassic World: Evolution. The eye spots were my own creative embellishment.

(NOTE: I had literally no idea that the main #DrawDinovember challenge was doing Chasmosaurus today. So, me also drawing it today was purely coincidental.)
