Here, again, my idea for Thyreosaurus. I had a lot of fun speculating about the appearance of this one. It has some crazy osteoderms that aren't like anything we see in stegosaur otherwise.
The big questions were: how were these positioned? Were they homologous to the plates? If not, did these replace them or did they have a complete different position and function?
Tumblr media
One of the most interesting feature for me is that these plates seem to be concave, so they likely formed shallow depressions on the animal; a fun idea. Here my first impression sketch, just an hour after the paper came out.
Tumblr media
The version I did on the stream differs slightly, with a more fluent transition from hip to tail plates. The partial skeletal reconstruction by @SlvrHwk_paleo (on Twitter) helped a lot.
Tumblr media
I should say that this interpretation of the animal is totally subjective, it could be way more conventional or way weirder. I hope people continue to experiment with it and I hope more excavations will bring more of this material to light. Don't take my work as gospel.
Also: THIS IS NO APRILS'S FOOL JOKE

Impression of Thyreosaurus atlasicus, a recently-discovered stegosaur from the mid Jurassic of Morocco that is unusual among its kind for having rows of plates that lay flat against its body, rather than standing vertically as in other genera such as Dacentrurus, Stegosaurus and Tuojiangosaurus.

Thyreosaurus atlasicus Zafaty et al., 2024 (new genus and species)
Tumblr media
(Armor plates of Thyreosaurus atlasicus [scale bars = 5 cm], from Zafaty et al., 2024)
Meaning of name: Thyreosaurus = shield lizard [in Greek]; atlasicus = from the Atlas Mountains
Age: Middle Jurassic (Bathonian–Callovian?)
Where found: El Mers III Formation, Fès-Meknès, Morocco
How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including several vertebrae, ribs, armor plates, and a limb bone.
Notes: Thyreosaurus was a stegosaur, possibly closely related to Adratiklit, which is also known from the Middle Jurassic of Morocco, and Dacentrurus from the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous of Europe. The type specimen is estimated to have been about 6 m long in total body length, but had not finished growing when it died.
The armor plates of Thyreosaurus were unusual in that they exhibit a cross-hatched texture on one side. In other armored dinosaurs, similar textures are generally found at the base of bony armor where it is embedded into their skin. The describers of Thyreosaurus thus suggest that these plates lay flat against its body, instead of standing vertically as is typical of back plates in other stegosaurs.
Reference: Zafaty, O., M. Oukassou, F. Riguetti, J. Company, S. Bendrioua, R. Tabuce, A. Charrière, and X. Pereda-Suberbiola. 2024. A new stegosaurian dinosaur (Ornithischia: Thyreophora) with a remarkable dermal armour from the Middle Jurassic of North Africa.

Results from todays flocking paleostream
Tumblr media
First we had Altispinax, which I had to speed run eating to finish this little baby
Tumblr media
Then, to the dismay of some, we did thyreosaurus which was my idea, whith some curious Spicomellus approaching. Also I would like to clarify that I am not a lazy bastard as I suffered with everyone
Tumblr media
Then I did a newborn ornithoprion with zebra shark colors
Tumblr media
Then we did mapusaurus and here he is cuddling with argentinosaurus as they are tired of fighting

First we had Parankylosaurs, the Ankylosaurs cosplaying as Stegosaurs, but now we have the recently discovered Thyreosaurus, a stegosaur cosplaying as an Ankylosaur.

Una nuova specie di stegosauro aveva una notevole armatura dermica
Illustrazione del Thyreosaurus atlasicus. Un nuovo genere e una nuova specie di stegosauri del Giurassico medio sono stati identificati grazie ai resti postcraniali rinvenuti nelle montagne del Medio Atlante a sud di Fès, in Marocco. Thyreosaurus atlasicus visse nell’Africa settentrionale durante il Giurassico medio, circa 165 milioni di anni fa. La specie è strettamente imparentata con…
