Has anyone ever thought to make a giant megalosaurid fight a spinosaurid (in a fictitious setting)? For no other reason than the megalosaurid being, at minimum, a reasonable proxy of the spinosaur’s real life ancestor.

Let’s sketch one of the giants of the Jurassic, Torvosaurus!
Torvosaurus was a genus of megalosaurid theropod that lived during the latest part of the Middle Jurassic and the Late Jurassic. The genus contains two described species found in North America and Europe

A little Clay #Stegosaurus sculpted as promised!
Hope this helps for the reference and lemme know what angles you need! Better hurry, a megalosaurid is already eyeing down this stegosaur as a potential meal!

From Middle Jurassic Dorset, England, "western Dorset hunter" was a 5-7 meter megalosaurid known from upper and lower jaws, with a distinctive groove. Like many other theropds from the early days, it was first thought to be Megalosaurus

The teaser trailer for The End of Oakstreet dropped and holy hell I am excited!
We get Ewan McGregor and dinosaurs??
Also was that a megalosaurid?? How fucking cool would that be??
Either way I’m excited to see more dinosaurs on the big screen 😁

I wrote a blog post about a tentative megalosaurid vertebra from the Lower Jurassic of northern Germany, described by the late Friedrich von Huene.

Friedrich von Huene’s Megalosaurid Vertebra from the Lower Jurassic of Northern Germany
In the 1960s, renowned Tübingen-based palaeontologist Friedrich von Huene was given the opportunity to study an incomplete vertebra from the Lower Jurassic

Back to dinosaurs tonight.
Wiehenvenator. It was a large megalosaurid from the Middle Jurassic and lived in what is now Germany.
It’s name means "Hunter from the Wiehen Hills.”
It was discovered in 1998 and was originally nicknamed “Monster of Minden.”

Now I got Safari’s Megalosaurus and Suchomimus for this! I only realized after ordering that they also have a nice Baryonyx. Damn.
Also, because of how well they’re sculpted, they make it very easy to see how something like a megalosaurid evolved into the spinosaurids.

It is closely related to Megalosaurus, the first scientifically described dinosaur.
Although some have tried to get it sorted into its own family (Torvosauridae) the current consensus is that it it a megalosaurid.

I'm sorry for not posting any of newer artwork for today. To make up for it here's old sketches of some old school retrosaurs that I sketched out of boredom before.

A dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate theropod, likely a megalosaurid from the Isalo III Formation in Ambondromamy, Madagascar. The morphology is comparable to Middle Jurassic megalosaurs from similar contemporary deposits such as Afrovenator.

With a crown height just short of 4 inches, this theropod was likely the largest predator its environment. The tooth may or may not be megalosauroid, but large bodied Middle Jurassic megalosaurid material is sometimes attributed to cf. Torvosaurus sp.
