  1. What #dinosaur was actually the biggest? It's a question that scientists are still trying to piece together an answer to, facing challenges from fragmentary fossils.

  2. 🦖☄️ Paleontologist Michael Benton and meteoriticist Monica Grady reconstruct the final day of the #Cretaceous in real-time – from the silent #asteroid visible as a #star, to the fireball and incineration, to mega-tsunamis, global #wildfires, acid #rain, and a decade-long #winter that snuffed out three-quarters of #Earth’s species.

  3. Our thanks to young artist Caldey, who inspired by the forthcoming television documentary series "Surviving Earth" sent into @EverythingDinosaur a wonderful illustration featuring two hatchling Spinosaurus.

  4. The Parasaurolophus is cool! And cute!

    They had a hollow crest on their head which was connected to their nostrils and it's believed to have had multiple functions such as communicatory sound amplification and thermal regulation.

    They most likely weren't attractive prey for predators; they are huge and travelled in herds, which made up for their lack of actual strength.

  5. When Fantasy Worlds Collide
    Several years ago, I've lost track of time since that was a couple of computers ago, I wrote a short story that I really loved. Unfortunately it appeared to be the start of a longer project and the place where I'd submitted it passed, and the story has sat on a hard drive ever since. But recently I've been thinking about it. You see, the story features dinosaurs, or namely a la

  6. 🦖☄️ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earth’s species. The survivors – small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish – shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didn’t.

  12. 🦴🔬 A #fossil sitting in a #museum drawer since 1979 turned out to be a brand new species: *#Tylosaurus rex*.

    Lead researcher Amelia Zietlow (#AMNH) noticed that a #Texas #mosasaur specimen labeled as a known species didn’t match its relatives. The 13-meter-long apex #predator had serrated #teeth, massive jaw #muscles, and battle #scars from fights with its own kind.

  23. Trying to make more dinos in this style:
    mastoart.social/@enriquericos/

    Conveying feathery dinosaurs with limited visual information is difficult. Low resolution relies on the viewer: I suggest something and you project what you know onto the image. Anyone will see a T. rex clearly on a few pixels, but a feathered raptor? It can be done, but I don't think I can pull it off

    #sketch #process #pixelArt #dinosaurs

  24. Yeah, OK, but I still think the scientists are putting the "arm" bones backwards onto #TRex skeletons, and the "arms" were actually remnants of wings. (See today's #chickens.)
