10 years ago, the idea for this #FanGoji story sparked into my brain, and has stuck ever since

Yeeeeeep, defintely not seeing any resemblance to any other specimen that are debated as other young Rexes or as Nano-Ts

Teen definitely looks a lot closer in form to an adult Rex, the change from the supposed "Jane" model to this would be much too drastic IMO, considering the time taken to mature
For #FossilFriday I’m just going to show this photo of Teen Rex: a juvenile/subadult specimen of what is undoubtedly a Tyrannosaurus rex.

That’s it. No controversy here. No debate here. It’s even in a public repository for study.

Everyone say hi to Teen Rex.

4 carchs in the same formation, and increasing North American allosauroid diversity?

Yes please!
T. Oswald et al. "“Here be Dragons”: Shed Teeth Potentially Indicate the Presence of Multiple Unidentified Allosauroids from the Early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah," Journal of the Arizona-Nevada Academy of Science 50(2), 55-129, (4 June 2025). doi.org/10.2181/036....
“Here be Dragons”: Shed Teeth Potentially Indicate the Presence of Multiple Unidentified Allosauroids from the Early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah
Allosauroids were apex predators in many terrestrial ecosystems from the Early to early Late Cretaceous. Despite this, the only formally described allosauroid taxa from Cretaceous North America are Acrocanthosaurus of the Antlers Formation of Oklahoma, and the highly fragmentary Siats from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah. This lack of known allosauroids is especially apparent in the Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, based on the rarity of reported bones and absence of named taxa. However, their presence has previously been inferred by shed teeth from the lower portion of the Yellow Cat. Here we report on likely allosauroid teeth from three localities, Grayash, Blane II, and Doelling′s Bowl, in the Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, the former two localities being in the upper portion of the Yellow Cat which until now has not produced any allosauroid remains, at least not any reported in scientific literature. We also assess teeth tentatively identified as Acrocanthosaurus from the Long Walk Quarry in the Ruby Ranch Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, and the Sonorasaurus Quarry in the Turney Ranch Formation of Arizona. Principal component analysis of linear and geometric morphometrics supports these teeth as being from allosauroids and specifically within Carcharodontosauria, making the Yellow Cat teeth the earliest reported evidence of carcharodontosaurs in North America. Furthermore, their co-occurrence with Utahraptor confirms that multiple large predators lived in this environment and suggests that North American allosauroids did not yield the entire predatory niche to other theropods until their extinction in the Cenomanian-Turonian ages. Lastly, the teeth from the different Yellow Cat Member localities appear morphometrically distinct from each other, suggesting that each may represent a different taxon, though small sample size prohibits a definitive statement on this. While the Arizona Acrocanthosaurus tooth may belong to a species of Acrocanthosaurus, the Long Walk teeth differ from Acrocanthosaurus atokensis in having significantly lower denticle density, and may represent a new taxon. We conclude that there may be as many as four carcharodontosaurid theropod taxa in the Cedar Mountain Formation, thus, the diversity of allosauroids in Early Cretaceous North America is likely greater than previously recognized.

In light of the #JurassicWorldRebirth trailer, I decided to try a little photomanipulation with the T. rex design to see what it could look like if the anatomy was closer to a more accurate skull shape

The changes aren't actually too significant, that's how well the design holds up to this day

UPDATE 22/04/2025:

Added a splash of red on the face and neck to give the impression of being constantly fuming, and to add a bit more color to his design

Just casually droppin' these concept sketches for another #FanGoji I got in the works:

"DorakoGoji", derived from "Dorakoga", Drakoga's Japanese name, since I wanna take a crack at a crossover fight between my flagship Kaiju and the Kaiju King himself
April 10, 2025 at 9:48 AM
27/02/2025 UPDATE:

Changed up the colors for Drakoga and his Stygian form in order to make him stand out from my other main OCs, and to emphasize the blood-red as a highlight

Updated Drakoga's roar

Perhaps I shall clarify exactly what animal Kasifer is

Yes, he is indeed a Saurophaganax, but due to the current debate surrounding the taxon IRL, I first planned on leaving it ambiguous, until I realized the story's a fictional setting, so I have more leeway to validate the animal in-universe
