Very controversial paper had just been published. I had some time to digest it. It's actually a surprisingly easy to understand paper because... it's extremely flawed. The paper proposed to split Tyrannosaurus in to Tyrannosaurus rex, Tyrannosaurus regina, and Tyrannosaurus imperator. The paper suggests that an animal that lived on fo » Continue Reading

Abstract Spinosaurids are some of the most enigmatic Mesozoic theropod dinosaurs due to their unique adaptations to aquatic environments and their relative scarcity. Their taxonomy has proven to be especially problematic. Recent discoveries from Wester » Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The fossil record of abelisaurid theropods in South America is mostly limited to Brazil and Argentina. In Argentina, abelisaurids are generally known from Patagonia, where their record is relatively abundant and includes well-known and complete specimens. However, for North-western Argentina, abelisaurids are represented by incomplete and isolated bones and teeth that remain largely unpub... » Continue Reading

I have no idea when this is coming out or how much, but I like this. I'm making a blog on top of a bulletin to remind myself when this is released. It looks so good. I think it's based on a recent life-size model of Sue or Stan. So say Sue, other say it's based on Stan. Whatever it's based on, it look amazing. The paint job definitely resembles the recent » Continue Reading

New paper studying the neurovascular canals in the skull of T.rex done with CT scans. The main thing this paper addresses is the purpose of these canals, the evolutionary changes, its function as a sensory organ, and what it means for lips on theropod dinosaurs. So far, it appears that the network of canals on the snout isn't a good » Continue Reading

This article is a much better interpretation of the Struthiosaurus paper.I didn't know what the frequency meant, but luckily this blog explains the issue much better. Basically, it can hear frequencies similar to that of a bird. https://equatori » Continue Reading

So German and Austrian scientists did a CT scan of the nodosaurid, Struthiosaurus austriacus and came to the conclusion that it's slow and hard of hearing. I don't think being slow is a surprise to anyone, but one would assume that even if it didn't have amazing hearing, having decent hearing would help it defend against what it can't see. Its eyes can only see so much. It still has blind spots. Y... » Continue Reading

It's not a new species, but it's the first time it was found in the UK. It's also a really complete skeleton. It's only medium size in terms of large ichthyosaurs. The largest » Continue Reading

Interesting article. seems like errors in the estimate of the scapulacoracoid are causing the biggest discrepancy in the size of Giganotosaurus. That said, I've seen people restore Giganotosaurus's scapulacoracoid close to Tyannotitan, but still only gets around 7 ton-ish for their estimates. » Continue Reading

A charity's plan for a statue of fossil hunter Mary Anning, which will stand close to the cliffs where she made her discoveries, has been approved. Dorset Council passed Mary Anning Rocks's plan for the Lyme Regis statue. Born in 1799, Anning made numerous groundbreaking discoveries on the Dorset coast, which are still displayed in museums around the world. The campaign for the statue began in 201... » Continue Reading

A lot of people don't realize that almost all the dinosaur skeleton mounts in museums have some sort of anatomical problem. Their anatomy is either incorrect, bones not mounted in the proper position, or even missing bones from the mount. That said, this isn't so much as the people being incompetent. Mounting a skeleton for an extinct animal is hard. You have to deal with weight and gravity. You h... » Continue Reading
