Happy Fossil Friday!

Who: Borealopelta markmitchelli

name meaning: "Northern shield" "Mark Mitchell"

pronunciation: Bore-ee-al-oh-pell-tah Mark-Mitchell-eye

What: A nodosaur, the un-clubbed kin to ankylosaurs

When: Early Cretaceous Period

Where: Alberta, Canada

Fun fact!: The specimen pictured above is one of the most well preserved dinosaurs ever discovered. It was discovered by miner Shawn Funk at Millennium Mine oil sands just north of Fort McMurray in Alberta. This local was perfect for exceptional preservation as the deposits were predominantly bitumen-rich (coal) sands. Preserved on the animal are not only skin impressions, but a snapshot image of what the animal would have looked like in life, and even red pigments have been found that indicate the hue of the skin.

Another #paleostream sketch!

In this one I put a little bit more effort, Borealopelta is known from such a fantastic fossil!

A herd of North American Cretaceous dinosaurs. I recently did a rewatch of the disney movie Dinosaur and really liked this mass of different dinosaurs all moving towards a single goal. Only difference is that this time, the small carnivorous dinosaurs are also coming along for the ride as pest control against the small pesky alvarezaurids.

Skeletal reconstruction of Sauropelta edwardsorum, the nodosaurid dinosaur which lived 108.8 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous of what is now Wyoming, Montana, and Utah

Alright, something that can actually be read lol. Just some assorted armoured lads. For the meantime, gonna just post some assorted older drawings and whatnot, since I’m not drawing tooooo too much right now.

Discovered in a mine in Alberta, Canada in 2011, a fossil of a nodosaur dinosaur is one of the most well-preserved fossils of its kind, down to its skin, scales and even the contents of its stomach. These heavily-armored herbivores walked the Earth between the Late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous periods, with this particular specimen dating back 110 million years. 

Considered one of the major archeological finds from the last decade, the nodosaur is currently on display at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada

Smaugust 2023 - Panovern

A Tenidraco rides a Panovern (Panoplosaurus vivernus), after a successful harvest of protein rich beetle grubs. The Panovern use its strength and wedge shaped head to roll old tree trunks to expose the grubs to be collected. Relatively docile they make for easy domestication.

you once walked this earth the same way we do

you could have never known what you'd do

how you'd live forever when we found you

you had no name, but you became immortal

110 million years later and we can say

hello again

animantarx ramaljonesi - nodosaur - early/late cretaceous

this lovely lady has what is definitely one of the top-tier names of the dinosaur kingdom, meaning "living fortress" or "living citadel"! her fossil was so radioactive- as are others in the cedar mountain formation- it ended up leading to her discovery. higher resolution version under the cut!

#paleoart #paleoblr #nodosaur #animantarx #5/15/23 #she bounces this time! :] #i like the little flowers on her spines. nodosaurs are worlds coolest guys.. even if theyre a little short i love them <3 #and as much as i wanted to make her spines more accurate there is simply Not That Kind Of Room on a 150x150 canvas #dinosaur

Believe it or not, this was my second paleoart ever! Meet Pawpawsaurus, a nodosaur with a funny name who, tragically, was named after a fruit that did not evolve until millions of years after he went extinct. However, he can still enjoy ginkgo fruits, as shown here.

So I’ve been seeing a lot of paleo artists depicting dinosaurs with earlobes. But I’ve decided to be a mega troll and give Borealopelta turtle ears- which basically means that it’s just hidden under the skin. >:DD

Plus they’re too busy taking in that sweet natural sunlight to care about hearing your problems.

Jk jk I’m sure borealo loves u too. 💚

In light of me being back on Tumblr after years and years, have one of my best works yet: Struthiosaurus austriacus! Done as cover artwork for the abstract volume for the 92nd annual meeting of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft.
