Time for the Theropods
These are the most distant from the original design principles. But they can stand and are poseable as well.

This subject comes up fairly often, so I'm putting my mini-essay here as an easy reference. Feel free to share, or copy and paste with attribution, as you see fit. Comments, suggestions, and corrections are welcome. 🦖 🧪 🚀 ✍️

Michael Crichton's main reference when writing #JurassicPark was Gregory Paul's Predatory #Dinosaurs of the World. That's how we ended up with human size "velociraptors," later retconned to the considerably larger #Utahraptor. Although the poor creatures still have broken wrists and a severe case of mange.

Paul is a notorious #lumper, who likes shoving distantly related organisms into the same #taxonomic category. (The opposite of lumpers are #splitters, who try to put every specimen into as distinct a category as possible.) But even he never claimed they were the same species. Rather, he put them into the same genus, making #Deinonychus into another species of #Velociraptor, i.e. V. antirrhopus instead of D. antirrhopus.

This isn't entirely a crazy idea. Lots of modern genera have species with similar body plans but enormous size differences. Consider #Panthera, the big cats, which contains species from P. uncia, the #snowleopard, to P. tigris, the #tiger—even though tigers are generally about five times the mass of snow leopards, similar to the ratio between D. antirrhopus and V. mongoliensis.

However, there are enough other differences between Deinonychus and Velociraptor that even Paul has long since admitted this was a mistake. No #paleontologist now doubts they each belong in their own genus. Unfortunately, since Jurassic Park has so thoroughly cemented the idea of the big V, I doubt it will ever go away.

I drew a Deinonychus, but specifically this is the mascot of Project Bluefin.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

The 2022 Korean translation of Locked in Time (Dr Dean Lomax) commissioned me to colourise my 50 greyscale illustrations. Here's "The Mire Siren," showing a family group of Utahraptors becoming trapped in quicksand.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

From my 2012 illustrations, for the University of Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, here's Deinonychus. Remember it is 12 years old, so please forgive the teeth and small wings, etc.

Three #Deinonychus play around while resting in the underbrush. Inspired by crow play behaviours.

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Deinonychus

In 1931 Barnum Brown excavated a Tenontosaurus. and found a small carnivores bones nearby. He called it Daptosaurus agilis.

He also found a skeleton of a small theropod which appeared to have oversized teeth and named it Megadontosaurus.

John Ostrom later realised the teeth belonged to Deinonychus but he reclassified the skeleton Microvenator.

In 1964 Ostrom found more than 1000 bones of at least three inidividuls. Naming Deinonychus in 1969.

Encounter at the #Werkzeugtrasse ("Tool Trail") in #Remscheid

Maybe if I stand totally still they will not notice me, at least that's what I learned from Jurassic Park ... :)

Noiw we flip over to the "bad guy" crashed ship. And they landed in villain volcano. And shock horror gasp, they are surrounded by meat eating dinosaurs.
Bad guy decides hes going to make an army of dinosaurs to attach the good guys with. We see what looks like an oversized #Deinonychus, #Pteranodon, and Triceratops.

@Hitsch - #Velociraptor is on the list, but I wont say when it will come out. I will say that #Deinonychus is in the folder if you need to scratch your raptor itch :D

@immersender @DWitte Ich bin froh, dass du fragst! Mich beeindruckt vor allem evolutionäre Anpassung - die kann dann ja darin bestehen, Aas zu fressen. Was mich an meinem Lieblingsdinosaurier #Deinonychus fasziniert ist aber schon, dass er koordiniert im Rudel gejagt hat.

Glaube übrigens, dass @DWitte nur eine Notification bekommt, wenn man ihn hier nochmal mentioned, ansonsten werden nur die benachrichtigt, denen man direkt antwortet. Gestern von @perspektivbrocken gelernt.
