It's such a weird vibe seeing a big name paleoartist post something that makes you think "Hold on, isn't that one of mine?"

If you hear tapping outside your window that’s just me with tonights dinosaur
fact.

Beg.

No, silly.

I’m not asking you to beg for it. Thats the dinosaurs name. Beg tse.

Beg is a neoceratopsian and lived in the Early Cretaceous period.

From Early Cretaceous Ulaanoosh Formation, Mongolia, this most basal neoceratopsian isn't asking ya'll to plead with Mr. Tse, but rather is named after a Himalayan Deity. It shows transitional features between basal ceratopsians and neoceratopsians

I also think it’s fitting that a neoceratopsian was named this, because a lot of people mistake herbivore dinosaurs, ceratopsians in particular, as gentle, but they were likely pretty aggressive.

Jospas siipisaurus- ja dinosaurusnaaraat hurmasivat uroksia yhtälailla kuin koiraat naaraita? Käy järkeen, jos molemmilla oli yhtä hienot koristeet. Viittaisi siihen, että olivat hyviä äitejä ja isiä.

Tieteellinen artikkeli 1. sivu ETHAIA REVIEW Does mutual sexual selection explain the evolution of head crests in pterosaurs and dinosaurs? DAVID W.E. HONE, DARREN NAISH AND INNES C. CUTHILL Hone, D.W.E., Naish, D. & Cuthill, I.C. 2011: Does mutual sexual selection explain the evolution of head crests in pterosaurs and dinosaurs? Lethaia, DOI: 10.1111/j.1502- 3931.2011.00300.x Cranial ornamentation is widespread throughout the extinct non-avialian Ornithodira, being present throughout Pterosauria, Ornithischia and Saurischia. Ornaments take many forms, and can be composed of at least a dozen different skull bones, indicating multiple origins. Many of these crests serve no clear survival function and it has been suggested that their primary use was for species recognition or sexual display. The distribution within Ornithodira and the form and position of these crests suggest sexual selection as a key factor, although the role of the latter has often been rejected on the grounds of an apparent lack of sexual dimorphism in many species. Surprisingly, the phenomenon of mutual sexual selection – where both males and females are ornamented and both select mates – has been ignored in research on fossil ornithodirans, despite a rich history of research and frequent expression in modern birds. Here, we review the available evidence for the functions of ornithodiran cranial crests and conclude that mutual sexual selection presents a valid hypothesis for their presence and distribution. The integration of mutual sexual selection into future studies is critical to our under- standing of ornithodiran ecology, evolution and particularly questions regarding sexual dimorphism. h Behaviour, Dinosauria, ornaments, Pterosauria, sex #tiedetaivas Tällä sivulla kuvat: töyhtökiislanen musta joutsen ja kiharaiset sulat; siipisaurusten kalloja komein harjoin .Fig. 2.

'The newly-discovered dinosaur roamed our planet during the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous epoch, between 113 and 100 million years ago.

Dubbed Sasayamagnomus saegusai, the animal measured about 0.8 m (2.6 feet) in length and weighed around 10 kg."

Today, for the first time in seven semesters, I was given a #dinosaur I had never heard of, Sasayamagnomus, a neoceratopsian that was described just two months ago.
Imagine being just revealed & already being someone's favourite.
Kudos to my student for getting a brand new dinosaur as his favourite!

I always encourage my students to get themselves a favourite dinosaur & share about it during the last class.

Today was the first class in 5 semesters that

a) didn’t have any T. rex,
b) thanked me for exposing them to dinosaurs.

I’ll take that.
