If giant terrestrial archosaurs retained thick articular cartilage at large sizes, I wonder if this enhanced their locomotory performance compared to giant land mammals (that get thinner cartilage with ⬆️ size). An advantage of thick cartilage would be shock absorption.

open your little mouth and say AAAA
A #Tyrannosaurus rex uses its colorful mouth as a form of display, a bizarre rictus protrudes from its jaws displaying strong blue colors, while the inside of its green mouth breaks the contrast of the blue.

It's spring in the heart of Europe sometime in the Pleistocene, and a mother #Palaeoloxodon antiquus takes care of her baby after a winter, she began to exchange her winter coat for a thinner summer coat while her baby plays among the flowers always under her care.

#Baurusuchus salgadoensis
A survivor of a megaraptoran attack when she was young, which cost her her right arm and part of her tail and left her with deep scars on her skin.

#Tameryraptor markgrafi is a recently described carcharodontosaurid from the Bahariya Formation in Egypt. It features a peculiar structure on its nasal bone, which may have supported a crest during its lifetime. (1/2)

Deinosuchus' main prey would've been giant turtles, followed by fish, but it wouldn't have passed the chance on ambushing a clueless dinosaur (Like this Tyrannosauroid)

A young #Allosaurus fragilis wanders in the middle of an active volcanic crater, he passes next to a river of lava that lights up the night, beneath them the #moon shines with all its beauty.

Vou aproveitar aqui pra falar dessa discussão um tanto cansativa envolvendo lábios em dinossauros... A questão dos lábios em teropodes já é bastante cansativa, e é mais ainda no Spinosaurus porque fazem muita comparação com os crocodilos quando se trata desse bicho.

a #tyrannosaur from the southernmost population of Laramidia. I imagined such a population as being relatively more slender than their northern cousins.

The fact that most of us (speaking as a latino myself) don't usually learn in-depth about the majesty of south and mesoamerican pre-columbian cultures in school is depressing. Reading that Tenochtitlan had more people than Paris or London in the 1500's blew my mind as an adult.

This is my interpretation of the sanctuary of Huitzilopochtli, one of two magnificent chapels that once crowned the Great Temple of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

For any new followers, yes, my profile pic is of me with the holotype of #Tyrannosaurus rex. Truly a high point during my time as an undergrad.

- A male Voay robustus rests with a female C. niloticus during the breeding season about 1000 years ago.
He´s blissfully unaware that he is the last member of his species, but that's okay.
What's extinction compared to the love of a lady and the warm rays of the sun on your face? -

Two theropod-centric pieces near the beginning and end of my time in high school, being a graphite drawing of Bambiraptor from 2012, and "Lady Spinosaurus with an Incisivosaurus" a 2014 acrylic-on-posterboard parody of Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with an Ermine".
