Smite from above
I didn’t have access to my tablet this time which means no digital art atm but I did manage to crank one out on paper this time =>
This is an idea I’ve had for quite some time but I’ve had no success actually putting it on paper before but I think I did it this time! Quite proud of it if I do say so myself~

solo estar en el lugar mas oscuro que ha estado mi mente, solo arrepentirme de ser como soy, solo querer desaparecer porque le quitaría los problemas a quienes amo, solo querer dejar de sentirme horrible conmigo y dejar de ser como soy, solo querer mejorar violentamente para dejar de ser una molestia
sabes que es lo peor? que me dicen que no soy una molestia pero si es así, por qué
por qué cada vez que hago algo o tomo una decisión se presenta un problema? por qué no puedo darme cuenta de los errores pasados y evitarlos en la actualidad? por que no puedo dejar de hacerla sentir mal? por qué me dice que no importa si la hace sentir mal? por que el amor tiene que ser agridulce?

Jakapil vs Spicomellus
Jakapil kaniukura
Tumblr media
Artwork by @i-draws-dinosaurs, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Deep Jawed Shield Bearer 
Time: 99 to 97 million years ago (Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous) 
Location: Candeleros Formation, Neuquen and Mendoza, Argentina 
Jakapil is to nonavian dinosaurs as Annakacygna is to birds. This may seem extreme - what could possibly top the cup zoomy swan of filter feeding death - but Jakapil is a weird little dude. It was a bipedal armored dinosaur, similar to the Early Jurassic basal form Scutellosaurus - except, you’ll note, it lived a hundred million years later. At about 1.5 meters long, it was a small dinosaur, again similar to its relative from so long ago. It had rows of osteoderms on its body, and a predentary - unlike other early thyreophorans. It may have diverged from the main thyreophoran group in the Sinemurian, representing a lost lineage of bipedal armored forms that persisted (presumably in South America). However, its classification is a major debate among researchers - many features of the jaw are more similar to Ceratopsians than to Thyreophorans, indicating it may be an armored variant of an early Ceratopsian (which, would be, to say the least, wild) or a completely new clade of Ornithischian altogether! The large amount of wear on its teeth indicates it chewed its food, rather than sheering or chopping it - something only found in a few Ornithischian groups. It lived in a large desert environment, peppered with oases, and filled with a variety of other animals - fish, frogs, tuatara, snakes, turtles, mammals, and other dinosaurs like Andesaurus, Ekrixinatosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Buitreraptor, Alnashetri, and Bicentenaria. 
Spicomellus afer
Tumblr media
Artwork by @i-draws-dinosaurs, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: African Collar of Spikes 
Time: 168 to 164 million years ago (Bathonian to Callovian stages of the Middle Jurassic) 
Location: Third Subunit, El Mers Group, Fès-Meknès, Morocco 
Spicomellus is the oldest known Ankylosaur, and also the first described Ankylosaur from North Africa! But that isn’t even the weirdest thing about it! Spicomellus had dermal spikes, fused to the bone, forming a collar (for which it was named) around its neck. Given that the spike were fused to the underlying bone - something no other ankylosaur does - it is probable that it wouldn’t have had a particularly flexible neck, or an easy time moving in general if the pattern continued throughout the body. It probably would have been around 3 meter long at the most, similar in size to other ankylosaurs from the Middle Jurassic. Coming from the El Mers Group, i tlived alongside Cetiosaurus, the stegosaur Adratiklit, megalosaurs, and teleosaurids. Spicomellus adds to a growing diversity of Jurassic Ankylosaurs, showing how Ankylosaurs and Stegosaurs lived alongside each other for a large period of time (the Middle and Late Jurassic epochs) and that the extinction of the Stegosaurs must have been due to a different, unrelated factor.

Jakapil kaniukura Riguetti et al., 2022 (new genus and species)
Tumblr media
(Select bones and schematic skeletal of Jakapil kaniukura, with preserved bones in white, from Riguetti et al., 2022)
Meaning of name: Jakapil = shield bearer [in Puelche]; kaniukura = crest stone [in Mapudungun, referring to the large ridge along the underside of its lower jaw]
Age: Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian), around 94–97 million years ago
Where found: Candeleros Formation, Río Negro, Argentina
How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual, including parts of the skull, limbs, and over 40 armor plates.
Notes: Jakapil was a small thyreophoran (armored dinosaur), estimated as having been less than 1.5 m long and 4.5–7 kg in mass. Although it is not very completely known, it exhibits many features that are unusual for a thyreophoran, including a strong, deep lower jaw and very slender forelimbs, the latter of which suggests it walked on its hind legs. The only other thyreophoran previously thought to have been fully bipedal was the Early Jurassic Scutellosaurus.
The best known thyreophorans include the plated stegosaurs and the heavily armored ankylosaurs, but Jakapil may not have belonged to either group. If this is correct, then it is by far the latest-surviving thyreophoran currently known that was neither a stegosaur nor an ankylosaur.
Given the combination of limited remains and strange characteristics, it is perhaps not surprising that a few researchers have expressed skepticism of a thyreophoran identity for Jakapil, with one reviewer of the description paper noting that some of its features more closely resemble ceratopsians. Hopefully, more complete remains of this dinosaur will one day be found to shed further light on its anatomy and evolutionary relationships.

Ice Age and Jurassic World Dominion have a crossover! Both the Giganotosaurus and the Cronopio dentiacutus lived together at the Candeleros Formation in Late Cretaceous Argentina.

*raises hand* i have no idea what Hell Creak is. tell me more
Hell Creek is a fossil-heavy rock formation located in Montana and North Dakota! It's one of the most complete fossil sites we have of the Mezosoic (along with other standouts like the Morrison and Kem-Kem). Hell Creek gets a few extra cool points for a handful of reasons:
It has a whole host of big name dinosaurs: T.rex, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and even a large raptor that's a real-life Jurassic Park 'Raptors' (the book and film used oversized Deinonychus, but Dakotaraptor is actually of comparable size. Potentially. I love the species and what it'd mean for the ecosystem, but I don't trust DePalma as far as I can throw him. He accidentally included turtle remains in the holotype, which... come on, man). Another cool big name potentially associated with the formation, but not a dinosaur, is a large Mosasaur species (think a giant marine monitor lizard) that was recently found to exist off the coast, as well as the (potentially) largest creature to ever fly, Quetzalcoatlus (I have no way to describe this, search it up, it's terrifying and weird).
Actually? No. You deserve to see what a Quetz would look like.

(Photo and model credit @bluerhinostudio. Seriously, they're so lifelike.)
Hell Creek's fossils were deposited at the very tail end of the reign of dinosaurs, so you get a look at their last glory days + a good handful of million years prior. Actually, the boundary layer - the actual moment the apocalypse became real and quartz was shocked by the Chixclub impact - is present! There's another site that seems to contain the actual aftermath, with molten glass raining into the mud and debris of animals caught in tsunamis thrown together (though some elements of the site are debated, because DePalma is sketchy as hell and reported different findings to the media vs his publications).
Tumblr media
(Credit conveniently included in the image, nice.)
We have SO much information about it! Remains of everything from megafauna and their interactions - herbivores that have healed bitemarks from T.rex, facial bitemarks between T.rexes - to the minute. Pollen and seeds from a host of plants; insects trapped in amber; tiny amphibians, and sharks. The list of species on the Wikipedia articles are absolutely insane - it's so complex and detailed.
There's also a video game in slow, slow development depicting this formation, Saurian - last I heard it's grinded to almost a standstill, and IIRC there is ~tea~ in the paleo community about it, but it was fun following the development for a few years. The concept art is also gorgeous, and you really get a feel for just how much material they have to work with to make this as accurate as possible!
TLDR, Hell Creek is fascinating - though there are plenty of other cool formations worth poking at, too! The Kem Kem Group, Dinosaur Park, Candeleros, Morrison, Jiufotang and Nemegt Formations are all favorites <3

Jakapil kaniukura is some sort of something from the Late Cretaceous Candeleros Formation of Argentina. It was a small, armored ornithischian, only 1.5 meters long. Its traits place it as a possible basal thyreophoran, a relative of more derived forms like the stegosaurs and ankylosaurs, and similar to other primitive bipedal genera like Scutellosaurus and Scelidosaurus. The one major problem, however, is that these other basal forms lived almost 100 million years before Jakapil in the early Jurassic , indicating an enormously long ghost lineage preserved basal thyreophoran traits into the Cretaceous.
