thanks guys, it did help a lot, drawing creatures is something i really enjoy

@reginaldubel @magicalmysteryperson @scriboniuscurio @thehipovercor @dinojagger12 added a few from discord friends and of my own (damn i misspelled sanqiaspis again)

Scipionyx samniticus

Holotype specimen (SBA-SA 163760)

Sources: 1, 2, 3

Also dubbed cagnolino ("little doggy, puppy") by its discoverer Giovanni Todesco, and Ciro by Italian magazine Oggi. The first dinosaur found in Italy, it's a very important fossil because it's one of few to fossilize internal organs!

THE AMARIA REGION IS BACK!

and to celebrate, I decided to skip straight to the fossils, I plan 3 fossil lines for the region, so welcome the first one of the bunch:

Chewro, the Dino-Chick Pokémon!

Rock/Fairy type

Chewro is based on Scipionyx, an italian dinosaur with preserved gut contents in its fossil, the fossil was nicknamed Ciro, thus the name.Ciro was also a baby, which is the reason I decided to go with Chewro not being able to evolve.

An fossil of Scipionyx samniticus which had remains of small intestine, hearts and guts. Found in 1981, and this is a baby dinosaur and still no adults found yet. One of Compsognathidae lived in Early Cretaceous Italy 🇮🇹.

Scipionyx samniticus, which may or may not be a baby carcharodontosaur. I made two because the second one is actually just the blue one with a different hue that made it look more natural.

With Hatsune Miku for scale:

Hehe. Sand Marino

I told y’all San Marino would be next! Love this creepy little guy.

If you don’t know what San Marino is, it’s a little country in Italy whose most defining feature is it’s age. San Marino has been around since the Roman Empire and it’s political system has remained unchanged. Basically he’s old as shit and watched Rome die.

My friend has been absolutely enamored with this little guy, and he wanted me to draw him next. And I felt like being dramatic and doing an hourglass theme would be fun. I was right, btw. It was fun.

Detail shots and background-less versions under the cut because I’m so unbelievably proud of this piece

Oh, and also, I tagged this with ‘gore’ but I’m not sure what else to tag it with. So, as with all my posts, this is ask to tag!

My theory about Scipionyx

I think Scipionyx was a fish-eating predator with an ecological niche similar to a modern fishing cat that lived in a swamp. The well preserved fossil shows that it did eat fish, and it had quite long claws, possibly hunting like a mini Baryonyx (the specimen was very young when died, so a parent might have feed it the fish, but the species was capable of catching fish at some point in its life). If it lived in a swamp this would explain why organs are so well preserved (even the intestinal mucus membrane is visible), but there is no identified skin ,scales or feathers. When an animal dies in water, the skin starts to aborb water until the skin around the orifices swell and peel. Eventually, the entire skin can peel off. Swamps produce compounds that preserve very effectively, so this Scipionyx specimen probably fell to the bottom of the swamp it lived in, got buried in mud, and was almost entirely preserved except for the skin. The preserving compounds would've slowed decomposition enough for the skin to fall off (which usually takes a few days) before the rest started rotting. So what do you think? are there any improvements I could make to this? (also i am so sorry i just made you read something that had the words 'peel' and 'skin' in the same sentence)

I realized too late that I may have made this a wee bit lopsided. I formally apologize for putting all Alvarezsaurs in one and all Therizinosaurs in another. They deserve to be split up like Ornithomimosaurs and Tyrannosaurs are and I apologize :(

I'd be pissed I have to do another non-avian theropod bracket, but let's face it, dromaeosaurs against tyrannosaurs would have been a mistake

Daurlong wangi Wang et al., 2022 (new genus and species)

(Type specimen of Daurlong wangi [b: close-up of skull; c: close-up of eye socket; d: close-up of preserved feathers; e: frog skeleton preserved nearby; scale bars = 20 mm for b and 10 mm for c], from Wang et al., 2022)

Meaning of name: Daurlong = Daur dragon [in Chinese]; wangi = for Wang Junyou [director of the Inner Mongolia Museum of Natural History]

Age: Early Cretaceous (Aptian), about 121 million years ago

Where found: Longjiang Formation, Inner Mongolia, China

How much is known: Nearly complete skeleton of one individual with preserved feathers.

Notes: Daurlong was a dromaeosaurid theropod, making it a fairly close relative to Velociraptor and Deinonychus. It was especially similar to Tianyuraptor and Zhenyuanlong of the Jehol Biota (also from the Early Cretaceous of China). Like Tianyuraptor and Zhenyuanlong, it had relatively short forelimbs for its size, and was larger than most other Early Cretaceous dromaeosaurids that have been found in China, being about 1.5 m long in total length.

The type specimen of Daurlong not only preserves an exceptionally complete skeleton with feather remains, but also a dark mass in its abdominal cavity. In terms of shape and anatomical position, this mass resembles the preserved intestines of Scipionyx, a theropod known from a well-preserved juvenile specimen from the Early Cretaceous of Italy, and may therefore also represent preserved intestinal remnants in Daurlong.

the single fossilized scipionyx we have rn when it was dying it was thinking “my organs are gonna fossilize” and then they did. that’s all you gotta do

De ce rezistă oasele de dinozaur atât de mult timp?

Un dinozaur Scipionyx samniticus a rezistat timp de peste 113 milioane de ani, cu intestinul și ficatul încă vizibile.
