The iconic Tyrannosaurus rex on a Saturday morning 🦖 Realized that I haven’t made a serious attempt to draw t-rex since the nineties! 😳

Happy Fossil Friday! With sharp teeth, long legs, and sickle claws, Deinonychus antirrhopus was likely a formidable predator. This dinosaur, which could reach lengths of about 7 ft (2.1 m) from nose to tail, lived during the Early Cretaceous, some 107 million years ago. It belonged to a group of dinosaurs called maniraptors, or “hand-robbers.” Its hands and feet were equipped with sharp claws for catching and grasping prey. Like modern-day birds, it had hollow bones.

Fun fact: The Deinonychus on display in the Museum is a real fossil skeleton—and the only one of its kind on display anywhere in the world! See it up close in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs! We're open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.

"And I have come for you, Gorgosaurus."

Based off the Pachyrhinosaurus who apparently survived having half its face torn off, avoided kicking the bucket for a significant amount of time after that, and was still among the strongest of its herd.

That's a prehistoric Chad. I'm not kidding.

I don't know about dinosaur bone structure that much, but I'm pretty sure bro's brain had regular meetings with the sun.

Built differently.

How to see dinosaurs:

1.) Travel 66 million light years away from Earth.

2.) Look at Earth through a telescope.

3.) Dinosaurs.

Our newest find – a skull of a Tagarosuchus kulemsini, a small protosuchian crocodyliform from the Early Cretaceous (about 125-113 mln y.o.)

Shestakovo-3. 07/28/2023

These photos were taken immediately after the croc was found in a waste rock dump)

Photos by Yaroslav Zheleznov.

… and these after gluing and some cleaning.

My favorite dinosaur genus of all time! Spinosaurus ("Spine Lizard") was a genus of dinosaurs that fed on fish. While believed to be semiaquatic, these dinos are notorious for the heavy debate surrounding how exactly they moved, and what the purpose of the sail-like spine was.

This piece is especially important to me due to my personal art history. I fell off of drawing for a long while, but the birth of my daughter helped get me back into it. This lost time meant that I frequently would look at the work other artists were doing online, and feel upset at myself for how far behind I was. Even when I was happy with a piece, I would immediately begin to dislike it as soon as I saw anybody else post some art. This past year, however, I've found myself finally start to feel confident in my abilities as an artist. This piece is a milestone for me, because I draw Spinosaurus frequently enough that I can actually look at past drawings and see the growth I've made as an artist. I still have a lot of growing to do, but it feels nice to look backwards and see how much of the road is behind me.
