>dont make a "trust me dude" statement just because you're in 4chin
he's referencing a study published a couple weeks back that everyone here is familiar with because we had a thread on it.
It suggested the incredible and astonishing idea that a big bony sail sticking 12 feet out of your back is going to make you top heavy in the water.
it ignored the possibility of spino doing the backstroke.
oh i see, thats very interesting. so our boi is just a land dino huh
>it ignored the possibility of spino doing the backstroke.
ok maybe it hunted fish upside down, checkm8 4chinners, jk
Also if the study mentioned it correct, it would make Spinosaurus the only known dinosaur that COULDN'T swim.
irony.
it's over :'c
Okay, so basically, it doesnt stood upright either, but on all fours because of the weight of the sail, well that sucks, is there any redeeming qualities of this dino?
I mean, imagine an animal that lives in the water, but falls over and dies every time a wave comes along or it accidentally strays too far to touch bottom.
An animal like that isn't going to last long.
but apparently that's spinosaurus. God's biggest mistake.
The artist makes such an interesting depiction of Allosaurus. He is somehow capable of making it seem like an actual majestic animal without making it a straight up bird or a crocodilian like most artists.
He genuinely makes the Allosaurus seem like the Lion of the Jurassic period.
And by majestic animal I mean an ANIMAL, they’re not pure and beautiful but also brutal and savage if need be. In my eyes he makes the most realistic allosaurus to date.
I say this as someone who hates most Theropods other than Ornithomimosaurs and Oviraptorosaurs and DESPISES carnivorous Theropods: Allosaurus is pretty. That and Dilophosaurus are the only ones I kind of like because of their head crests.
Why not use your incredible powers of autism to critique literally everything else of that crazy ass chimera? Or is it all forgiven because they angled the hands according to your preferences?
What would be the point? JW's dinosaurs are retarded. But it's still hilarious that JP gets the hands right and modern paleontologists can't.

That's because Fred's one of the good ones. He's not an unrepentent featherfag. Ugueto's good too but he needs to get right with god and stop putting feathers on as much shit as he does.

Actually, there's been a spate of good Allosaurus work lately. Allosaurus scales were recently found and this was from that twitter thread.
top five, here we go
no.1 Dilophosaurus, not the JP one, the real one, fucking awesome looking thing.
no.2 Baryonyx, not the JW one, the real one
no.3 Crichtonsaurus, adorable lil' thing
no.4 Stegosaurus, powerful, imposing and an absolute unit
no.5 Utahraptor, gorgeous feathering, strong muscular body, but not too bulky.

Call me gay, I don't care. I bet they sounded like prehistoric elk and were majestic as fuck in large groups. Been my favorite since I first saw one in the second JP movie.
Kind of a dumb question, but what defenses did these dudes (and hadrosaurs in general) have besides running away? Why were they so successful as a group?
As a presumable herd animal, Parasaurolophus and any other hadrosaurid's primary defense would have been numbers. A unified herd becomes an impenetrable wall to an Albertosaurus or any late Cretaceous megapredator. There were probably 10,000 of the fuckers to every contemporary Tyrannosaur, and the Tyrannosaur could probably survive taking down just a dozen of them each year, or even less (or perhaps more, as this is all presumptive). It'd be just like modern herd animals, wildebeest in the African savannah for example: lions don't rush right in to a million-strong herd to take what they want, they find the weak, sick, elderly, orphaned infant, or just plain stupid stragglers on the edges.
Of course all that is infinitely less exciting than a Styracosaurus jamming its headspikes into a Gorgosaur

Parasaurolophus likely weren't (large) herd animals. They were an upland forest species and we have few remains of them so they likely lived in small groups at most. Hadrosaurs were pretty big and strong and that tail was serious business.
>Kind of a dumb question, but what defenses did these dudes (and hadrosaurs in general) have besides running away? Why were they so successful as a group?
Who needs defences when you can just outbreed the competition?
And you can outbreed the competition because you can chew, making you plain better at eating than your non-chewing competitors.
No. Ceratopsids had very advanced chewing mechanisms as well. Ceratopsids may have had the largest chewing muscles of any animal in the entire fossil record, though "technically" they *sliced* their food. You have to make that distinction or the pedants will have a conniption fit.
>it ignored the possibility of spino doing the backstroke.
or swimming on its side like a sunfish
Brachiosaurus/Giraffatitan. simply a nostalgic and majestic creature to me. I like sauropods in general.
Therizinosaurus. simply stands out
Stegosaurus. a classic, but still a bizarre beast.
Ceratosaurus. I just love the horns and the devilish look.
Carnotaurus. same reason with Ceratosaurus.
T. rex and Triceratops will always be my favorites but I know they're so popular it gets kind of generic so I'll list my favorites besides those two >Mamenchisaurus >Albertosaurus >Parasaurolophus >Styracosaurus >Kayentapus ichnofossil of Coelophysoid megapredator >Chirostenotes/Anzu
Anzu's cool. Cool bird, cool name. I'm not even sure Mamenchisaurus is real. How the fuck does a dinosaur have a neck THAT long with a tail that short? Did it have rocks in its tail to counterbalance?
air sacs
everything crazy about dinosaurs can be instantly and easily explained by away by reminding people they had air sacs like birds
people vastly overestimate the weights of sauropods anyway, even the big ones probably tipped the scales at 30 tons
you have to remember that sauropods of the Jurassic were not the rare trundling elephant or giraffe or rhinoceros, they were the wildebeest, the zebra, the buffalo, it's likely they weighed much less and ate much less than is commonly estimated
Oh I know, but I disagree with your reasoning. Air sacs weren't filled with helium. Sauropods were heavy as fuck. The reason there was so much Dinosaur biomass is because the entire planet was tropical (more or less) and they were cold-blooded (not sorry, featherfags). The overabundance of herbivore species in the Mesozoic has been a long-running mystery for which cold-bloodedness has been considered one solution. I agree with that.
>The overabundance of herbivore species in the Mesozoic has been a long-running mystery for which cold-bloodedness has been considered one solution.
It's sorta obvious since you got an animal the size of 100 cows feeding itself through a head and mouth equal to 1 cow.
On the flip side it's also meaningless since once you get something that size hot in the sun it's going to take weeks to cool off.
The man's question isn't if sauropods were cold blooded, but if their predators were.
>Allosaurus >Daspletosaurus >Outdated Stegosaurus designs, specifically from the tail-dragging era of dinosaur reconstructions >Diplodocus >Tenontosaurus
T Rex is arguably the coolest animal ever. You can't hate it, not seriously. Also big tanky herbivores (Ankylosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus) are up there. Not long necks though. Hate those lanky fucks since Land before time.
As general bodylines that i like

My top five would be Carnotaurus, Ankylosaurus, Oviraptor, Therizinosaurus, and Iguanodon. Some honourable mentions would be Triceratops, Suchomimus, Allosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Brachiosaurus.
Tyrannosaurus is just so superlative that it’s hard to not like him, even as normie as he is.
Deinonychus has always been a compelling animal, whether it’s because of the tenontosaurus “pack kill” assemblage or its “just right” size.
Alamosaurus was a revelation to me when I learned of it, as a late Cretaceous Laramidian Titanosaur.
I love the way Herrersaurus is nearly a classic early theropod, but with traits so weird we can’t even say for certain it isn’t a Sauropodomorph or maybe even a third thing.
The ProSauropods like Plateosaurus are amazing too, with their weird combination features.
Allosaurus and Dilophosaurus are probably the only carnivorous dinosaurs that I will admit are nice looking. Herrerasaurus is fascinating because of its weird phylogeny.
I think Ceratosaurus is pretty neat. I like that it has a single horn on its' snout.
I concur with the Allosaurus census in the thread as well:
Allosaurus. For obvious reasons.
https://i.imgur.com/XAArgwp.jpg
1. Feathered T. rex
2. Dimetrodon

Shitposting aside, my favorite ever since I was a kid has been Allosaurus.
Allosaurus and Dilophosaurus are probably the only carnivorous dinosaurs that I will admit are nice looking. Herrerasaurus is fascinating because of its weird phylogeny.
With that said I also have a really big soft spot for Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsids because of just how diverse and varied they are with all the shit on their face. I love all the different styles of horns, hood ornaments, etc.. Super interesting. I don't really like Sauropods, but I will concede their sheer SIZE is amazing. It's always crazy to see how big a herbivore can get.
>They’re descendants may have lived up into the 1800.
I've read that story and the only reason I don't 100% completely believe it to be a complete work of fiction is because it has several extremely auHispanicious anachronistic details for a story written in 1908:
-The polar Ceratosaurus is described as being covered in "short black mottled fur that resembles the dense coarse hair of a boar".
-They ascribe to it the correct bird-like posture of a therapod dinosaur from the description of how it laid down. It also rose from a laying position using only it's legs and could 'leap' into a sprint just like how a flightless bird can.
-The men also said the polar Ceratosaurus was alarmingly agile & fleet footed, and not at all sluggish or plodding.
I like Dakotaraptor and Therizinosaurus, although I'll admit I'm not a huge paleofag.
Barosaurus lentus
Diplodocus hallorum
Apatosaurus ajax
Supersaurus lourinhanensis
Brontosaurus excelsus
spinosaurus, bigger than the mutt-rex/chudsaurus, eats both land and sea animals and can swim, the head also resembles modern crocodiles

It's most widely accepted stance right now is either a pongolin walk or this which would make spinosaurus the tallest theropod dinosaur to date.
you're saying that spinosaurus might be the first dinosaur who reverted back to the classical age of dinosaurs?
Also if the study mentioned it correct, it would make Spinosaurus the only known dinosaur that COULDN'T swim.

Allosaurus has always been depicted as magnificent and beautiful even. Some depictions have me envy the fact I couldn't keep one as a pet.
They make up less than 3% of theropods on E621.
She's a pretty dino.
The artist makes such an interesting depiction of Allosaurus. He is somehow capable of making it seem like an actual majestic animal without making it a straight up bird or a crocodilian like most artists.

Kind of a dumb question, but what defenses did these dudes (and hadrosaurs in general) have besides running away? Why were they so successful as a group?
They could fucking trample over any predator that got in their way. Shantungosaurus would body a T-Rex due to that fact it was so enormous.
>what defenses did these dudes (and hadrosaurs in general) have besides running away?
huge herds and big slappy tails
zebras do just fine and they don't even have slappy tails.
As a presumable herd animal, Parasaurolophus and any other hadrosaurid's primary defense would have been numbers. A unified herd becomes an impenetrable wall to an Albertosaurus or any late Cretaceous megapredator. There were probably 10,000 of the fuckers to every contemporary Tyrannosaur, and the Tyrannosaur could probably survive taking down just a dozen of them each year, or even less (or perhaps more, as this is all presumptive).

Are Dimetrodon enjoyers allowed in this thread?
Yes
Brontosaurus, because he was always cooler and people insisted he wasn't real but he really was real.
>Br***osaurus
Wow ragist much? They're called Apatosaurus
I said he was cooler than Apatosaurus right there, and you didn't listen. He's real again, sorry, your lamer can no longer lay claim to him.
nta, but Brontosaurus has been considered distinct enough from Apatosaurus to be a valid genus since 2015.
https://peerj.com/articles/857/
Brontosaurus is such a chad dinosaur that it literally meme magiced itself back into existence.
How has nobody mentioned my boy Saltopus yet?
Nobody knows what the fuck it even is. May as well mention Nyasasaurus.
Glad to see so many Carnotaurus appreciators in this thread.
it's a really cool dinosaur and we're all glad it's getting attention

What if your favorite animal is really dog though? What's wrong with that?
what kind of dog though? husky? or chihuahua?
It means you not brain good.
according to my mom, when I was 3 my favorite was pachycephalosaurus
I've been slacking on my dino research since then
that being said all manner of icthyosaurs are super fucking cool
I'm a Triceratop kind of guy. I just think they are cool.
Based correct opinion havers.
Alright, settle down, Dr. Grant.
for me it's either the ceratosaurus or the allosaurus
Allosaurus. For obvious reasons.
Carnotaurus. I know it's really popular, but it's a damn-fine-osaur.
allosaurus because they have weird eyebrows
baryonyx because its basically big crocodile
and i dont care kaprosuchus and postosuchus are also cool
