#Ornithopod
What better way to kick off the spookiest month of the year than with ghoulish, gory, or otherwise monstrous dinosaurs? I'll be sharing spooky palaeoart alongside my usual palaeoart posts throughout the month to help get us into the Halloween mood!

This is ridiculous. Everyone knows horses and pterodactyls did not coexist - not by millions of years!

George was more likely riding a medium sized ornithopod, theropod, or if he really was blessed, a Maraapunisaurus.

Creative Beast, seeing as you have an ornithopod (Iguanodon) coming up, maybe add Maiasaura to the list? 👉👈
I’ve now seen the early Patreon version of “Great Maia”. I think you’ll all love it.

I usually write under the pen name Mike Benton, but switched it up this time. Unfairly hot prof is actually based on a certain ornithopod worker but switched Cambridge to Oxford to cover my tracks.

A juvenile Fona rushes through a group of lekking Nedcolbertia along the Western Interior coast.

My overall guiding vibe when doing this one was “child lost at a convention.”

Being the second dinosaur ever found and my second large ornithopod I made, this is my take on the iguana tooth lizard itself, iguanodon. I hope you guys enjoy him. #dinosaurs, #paleontology, #paleoart, #scupleyclay, #dinosaurart.

Scientists Discover Canada's First Dinosaur Tracks From a Rarely Documented Cretaceous Age
Rare tracks from northeastern British Columbia reveal an ornithopod-dominated dinosaur community from a poorly documented period when much of western North America lay beneath an inland sea. Imagine the Western Plains of North America, from Texas to Alaska, submerged under a broad, shallow seaway. To the west lay the ancestral Rocky Mountains. To the east were low-lying plains traversed by large, sluggish rivers. This was the landscape of North America in the mid-Cretaceous period — a geological age with a time span of 105 to 75 million years ago — when the global sea level was around 100 meters higher than it is now. A high concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, due to massive volcanism, created a “greenhouse” climate such that Earth lacked significant polar ice caps. Alaska and Antarctica enjoyed temperate climates. The record of dinosaur bones and tracks from this time in North America is sparse, especially from the Coniacian age — a sub-stage of this Cretaceous period, spanning 89.75 to 86.5 million years ago. We have discovered the first Canadian dinosaur tracks from this Coniacian age, in the Tumbler Ridge area of northeastern British Columbia. One of us, Guy Plint, first noticed these tracks in 1988. However,...
