Eyyy did another Artfight attack! This time it's https://artfight.net/~riverraptor12 Cinnabar. A red-tailed hawk inspired raptor! :) Very cool character.

The “Chicken Yard” track site, lower Cretaceous of Germany, in an older oil painting. This piece won’t be in the upcoming PALAEONAVIX SHOP, but awaiting a new home with some friends of ours.

Vor 16 Jahren gab es im Museum König in Bonn die Dinosaurier-Ausstellung zu den "Giganten Argentiniens".

Der zweibeinige Theropode ist ein Giganotosaurus.

Für den Argentinosaurus (Sauropode, vierbeinig) auf dem zweiten Bild musste das Museum eine weitere Halle anbauen.

Spinosaurus at the Munich Show 2024.

This special exhibition marked the first time that a skeleton of this enigmatic dinosaur went on display in Munich after the original specimens from the Bahariya Oasis of Egypt were destroyed during World War II.

Tracks left by a bird-sized #dinosaur suggest it used wings to run faster https://phys.org/news/2024-10-tracks-left-bird-sized-dinosaur.html

#Theropod trackways as indirect evidence of pre-avian aerial behavior https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2413810121

"Because the tracks suddenly end, it is impossible to tell if the creature was taking off, landing or simply flapping wings as a means of land-based propulsion. Thus, it is not known if the dinosaur could fly. The possibility exists, however"

A discovery of #dinosaur tracks in Australia — dating back to the Early #Cretaceous when Australia was still connected to Antarctica — indicates that large #theropod #dinosaurs thrived in this polar environment, prowling the river floodplains when the ice thawed during the summers.

The tracks indicate that these former polar environments supported large carnivores.

The large theropods would likely have fed on prey such as smaller dinosaurs, fish and turtles.

New Spinosaurid #Dinosaur Species Identified in Spain

Increasing the #theropod record of Europe: a new basal #spinosaurid from the Cameros Basin. Evolutionary implications and palaeobiodiversity https://academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad193/7564790

"#Spinosaurids are a family of large theropod dinosaurs known from the mid-#Cretaceous. These #dinosaurs are characterized by long skulls with conical teeth that are convergent with those of crocodylians and robust limbs with a massive thumb claw.

A young #Duriavenator hesperis found the empty shell of a #Garantiana sp. at the beach (Bajocian, 168 Ma, England).

#NewSpecies of Ostrich-Mimic Dinosaur Discovered in Japan https://www.sci.news/paleontology/tyrannomimus-fukuiensis-12284.html

New #theropod #dinosaur from the Lower #Cretaceous of Japan provides critical implications for the early #evolution of #ornithomimosaurs https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-40804-3

"Ornithomimosaurs first appeared in the Early Cretaceous and persisted until Late Cretaceous. Almost all of them were toothless, and apparently their jaws were covered by a horny beak; they also had very long legs and arms."
