#Thecodontosaurus
It has become a bit of a tradition for me to miss social media portfolio days, so, as usual, here's my contribution one day late.

It’s known from a single partial juvenile specimen that was first believed to be Thecodontosaurus, another basal sauropodomorph.

Pantydraco was likely to be mostly bipedal and omnivorous.

As it was a transitional form meat eating dinosaurs to plant eating dinosaurs.

Very cool dudes.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2013 I built a life-size model of Thecodontosaurus for the Bristol Dinosaur Project. Here is how it was built, part 3 of 9.

Bristolian animalia:

Alfred the Gorilla (mid-century & WW2 sentimental favourite)

Nipper (future media brand influencer), life-size on the site where his ‘master’ worked

Thecodontosaurus (the ‘Bristol dinosaur’)

Unicorns (unexpected post-war town hall decoration)

Into 2022 with a painting of the Severn Estuary during the Middle Triassic, called "The Salt Lake Severn," featuring Thecodontosaurus, cycads, ferns, & dust devils.

In 1854 it was described by Joseph Leidy as the mandible of Bathygnathus borealis, a large carnivore related to Thecodontosaurus. In 2015 it was reclassified as a dimetrodon.
In 1878 Edward Drinker Cope formally named fossils be found Dimetrodon.

In 2013 I built a life-size model of Thecodontosaurus for the Bristol Dinosaur Project (part 5 of 9). During the build I ran a build-a-Thecodontosaurus workshop for children. Here are some of the results.

Side note: Simms and Drost (2024) present data that shows karst deposits in the UK that produce *Thecodontosaurus, Pantydraco*, and *Pendraig* are dominantly Carnian in age, but precise age control on these specimens remains elusive doi.org/10.1016/j.pa... (10/x)

One of the most wonderful museums in the U.K., a three dimensional Ichthyosaur skull. Taxidermy. Doris the Pliosaur. Thecodontosaurus. Super giant Icthyosaur bones. An absolute pleasure to visit and so much great work on display by people I know too 🏴‍☠️🖤🦖
I opted to wander over to Bristol Museum and Art Gallery today, and here's a thread on stuff I saw. For starters... there's new Doris the pliosaur merch! #marinereptiles

I did not know one of my models was celebrating a birthday today! This is my life-size Thecodontosaurus, built for the Bristol Dinosaur Project and the University of Bristol.

In 1834, workers in the quarries of Bristol stumbled upon strange bones unlike anything they’d ever seen. Little did they know, they had uncovered Thecodontosaurus, one of the world’s first known dinosaurs. #palaeontology #Triassic #History player.captivate.fm/episode/6492...

I visited this little guy a few weeks ago! #paleosky 🦖🖤 Bristol's very own dinosaur.

The actual 'Bristol dinosaur' is Thecodontosaurus, and the museum has a display devoted to it. It features this excellent model by the brilliant @bobnichollsart.bsky.social #dinosaurs

Say hi to the mr. Thecodontosaurus

Some zooms into my "The Salt Lake Severn" painting (2022) of the Severn Estuary during the Middle Triassic, featuring Thecodontosaurus, cycads, & ferns. Commissioned by the Clevedon Pier Trust.

Here's the second copy of my life-size Thecodontosaurus model. I built this one (and the plinth) for the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in 2014.

Celebrated the bicentennial anniversary of naming of Megalosaurus by graduating with a Master’s in Palaeobiology from the University of Bristol. Couldn’t be more happier and of course had to take a picture with Theco to commemorate the occasion!!
