Another Mayleozoic piece. The prompt was archosaurus. I felt like drawing the skull, so here we are.

I need to remember to post art here more often, forgor to.

Just a flat-colour doodle of a fictitious dinosaur that only a select few may recognize... Then again, this is Tumblr, there's bound to be some people who remember that franchise.

Arkosaurus / Archosaurus! The Mutant Demon Dinosaur from Battle of Giants: Dinosaur Strike. The tyrannosaurid with an underbite that's cooler than 'Zilla's.

Had a moment to think and I always have this question: do the names of the Mutant Dinosaurs have any translation, I know Gorgoraptor means "fierce thief", but I could never figure out the other member's name. Though, I quickly figured out that the Arkos- / Archos- in Archosaurus is in reference to not to an Ark, but as in greek Arkos, (thank you Arch Belial), which translates to "chief"... so its "Chief lizard". All that's left is to figure out the last three members' names: Naxo-, Hiliero-, and Casso-.

"AN ALBERTOSAURUS PICTURE I DID WAS A REAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR ME AS FAR AS HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND DINOSAUR POSES..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on two varying illustrations of Albertosaurus (meaning "Alberta Lizard"), a genus of large tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in northwestern North America during the early to middle Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 71 million years ago. Artwork by William Stout, c. 1992.

ARCHOSAUR MUSINGS: "How long have you been producing palaeoart?"

WILLIAM STOUT: "I’ve been drawing dinosaurs since I was in the third grade. I didn’t really start doing accurate reconstructions, though, until I joined the SVP in the late 1970s. At that time I began to seriously study both paleontology and paleobotany."

ARCHOSAUR MUSINGS: "What is your favourite piece of palaeo art that you have produced?"

WILLIAM STOUT: "There are a few that are important to me. One is “Mosasaur and Loons," one of my prehistoric Antarctica paintings. It’s incredibly simple and powerful (always difficult to do). It has excellent color as well. After making it into a poster it has never stopped being one of my top sellers. It was the reason I got my first mural commission as well. The Smithsonian’s Michael Brett-Surman gave me what I consider the greatest compliment I have ever received for a painting in regards to that piece.

An Albertosaurus picture I did was a real breakthrough for me as far as helping me to understand dinosaur poses on a whole new level. It is still one of my favorites."

The Dinosaur Hall

Cleaning the dinosaur hall — Dinosaurs in their Time — was our main project this semester. An annual fall tradition, the Paleontology and Conservation Departments team up to clean the Hall's exhibits. Paleontology is in charge of the dinos, and Conservation covers the ground and foliage.

By "Paleontology," I mainly mean Linsly and her two volunteers — a small portion of the Paleontology Department. Linsly trained under Gretchen and is often in charge of us when Gretchen is unavailable. Quiet and meek in nature, Linsly is sweet and always greets us good morning. Her office sits in the Paleo Prep Lab, a large lab dedicated to storing specimens and making casts. We store our conservation cart, vacuum, and belongings in a corner of the lab next to the giant mastodon pelvis that says "MASTODON HIP BONE" as if you couldn't tell.

Linsly and her team stand on ladders or lifts and use various brushes and Swiffers to dust the old bones. Starting at the archosaurus exhibit, we moved to dryosaurus and Ceratosaurus, then to stegasaurus, to "The Green Scene," then to the allosaurus and apatosaurus display, to camptosaurus, and now we're at the "Dinosaurs with Feathers" display. The exhibit has three fake birds in the exhibit.

"At the time, when we built this exhibit, we didn't realize just how many dinosaurs actually had feathers," Gretchen said, nodding to the display case, which was filled with numerous slabs of feathered and fossilized dinosaurs.

Once the paleontology team finishes dusting the bones, we clean the rest of the foliage:

Dust

Collect loose leaves/debris

Dust and vacuum ground

Wash all foliage

Reorganize exhibit

An exhibit takes between 10-20 hours to complete, depending on the number of fake plants and the size of the exhibit. One fern takes me about 15 minutes to dust, and about double the time to water.

It's menial work, and many visitors apologize or told us that it "must be a labor of love" — but there is an art to it that's fun once you figure it out.

It's satisfying, for one. But sometimes you find secret crevices in the exhibit that are untouched, where the dust is so thick you can pick it off with your fingers. Dust bunnies are considered invasive to the exhibits, and they have even been found in some of the most desolate environments of the Hall. It's pretty sometimes — the way it flies off surfaces in a gentle puff, it's slight iridescent sheen, the diversity in its contents.

Dust is the accumulation of our everyday lives — sloughed off skin cells, clothing fiber, hair, pollen, soil, plastics, bacteria, bug parts, dust mites — and causes significant damage to museum collections. Dust and dust mites may cause allergic reactions or asthma-like symptoms, and are most dangerous to children and toddlers. Dust can also carry contaminants and toxins that can be harmful to both people and collections. That, and dust isn't pretty.

There were methods that we were told and some we learned ourselves:

Work top to bottom

Work back to front

Use different brushes for different objects

Don't touch the bones!

If something breaks, tell someone IMMEDIATELY

Cover the motion sensors

For the ground, we pat a Swiffer underneath foliage, focusing on hard-to-reach and unvacuumable areas. We use a bristled circular head for vacuuming and lift it about an inch above the ground to buffer the suction.

Watering has no real tips, you simply wash the plant with a damp rag. When Gretchen first taught Celia and I, she demonstrated just that.

"... and that's it." Gretchen said with a beaming smile. Celia and I blinked. That truly was it. Sometimes it requires a bit of elbow grease, but that truly is it.

Gretchen likes makeup sponges for watering, but they deteriorate and leave white flecks on the foliage. Celia and I prefer microfiber cloths and I especially like Q-tips. On our watering days, Celia grabs water from the bathroom while I set up our containers: a small Tupperware container that holds Q-tips (I put them in there for Celia but she rarely uses them), a smaller Tupperware of water, and a variety of cloths. The little "go" pack helps protect the exhibit from Me and Celia's clumsy habit of spilling water, and helped us not take as many trips to our conservation cart.

Yes, it may be a menial job, but we're interns and have to start somewhere. Doing an easy, low-stakes task while being a few feet (inches sometimes!) away from a real dinosaur definitely beats sitting in front of my computer screen for 10 hours a week.

Can someone tell me why the fuck this archosaurus has a weird nose droop? Google won’t tell me

How the fuck is this thing supposed to eat

[jurassicsunsets]

was archosauria named after archosaurus because if so I feel very sorry for all birds and crocodiles that have to be compared to it

Nope! Archosauria was named by E.D. Cope (of bone wars fame) in 1869, while Archosaurus was named by Tatarinov in 1960.

Not even wrong

I’m fascinated by the “not even wrong” type of fallacy. 

Where people display a fundamental misunderstanding of the thing they’re debating. Like the guy who said Einstein would not get into UCLA because he wouldn’t have done enough “diversity” goodwill. It’s like the writer had no idea that Einstein lectured at HBCUs (obviously) but it veers off into “not even wrong” territory because the writer seems to not understand that Einstein was Jewish and seeking freedom from oppression in the United States, only to find more oppression.

A less abstract example of Not Even Wrong is the croco-duck. The Croco-duck is a....nightmarish* Creationist argument against evolution that was unleashed upon Reality Based Communities by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. The argument is that iif evolution is so real then why are there no croco-ducks. 

They don’t understand what evolution actually is. The question they’re attempting to answer was never asked. Therefore, the croco-duck is not even wrong. It’s less than wrong. It cannot be correct but it cannot be wrong either because that’s not even what evolution is about.

There are not croco-ducks because ducks and crocodiles are very distantly related with the most recent ancestor being alive 245 million years ago (it’s the  Archosaurus you hear so much about when looking at the evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs) .Since Creationists believe in the young earth it doesn’t fit. But it fits into Reality because reality.

The croco-duck is very bizarre and a lot of people view it and it’s “supporters” as confirmation of psychological problems within the Creationist camp.

It’s just a plain old logic fail.

*For the record Evolution is not about a God or Higher Power or the absence of that. It’s about traits falling in and out of favor over long periods of time as the environment changes, perpetually with no goal or “final stage” in mind. Individuals with a certain trait favored by the environment (which constantly changes) live longer and have better chances to have more offspring.

did you guys know that the first ever archosauriform was called the archosaurus and it looked like this

[dragonthunders01]

It is a little bit fascinating to think the appearance of an animal can change with more extra flesh, in this case, an Archosaurus which so far there is no evidence of soft tissue of some kind, however, I wanted to do this representation.
