Do you have a pattern for sale for the Sauropods design you posted a few weeks ago? It's gorgeous and I would love to make it!

Rozenkranz also painted this 1941 mural of Archaeopteryx on the third floor of the museum, so he counts as a paleoartist!

Like this looks like a sinister conspiracy to create dinosaurs.

By the way, when Jurassic Park gets remade (and it will get remade) it's gonna be LLMs extrapolating theropod DNA sequences from modern birds, and then they'll just cheat and put in Jurassic sauropods. Book it.

Had a quick walk today in an artist's market and there was a stall with these cute ceramic sauropods, which I thought I'd look at. Stallholder had put out little cards for each sauropod with their name and some Facts about them, like:
RIVER
Drinks tea
Does crochet
Hates men

Does the acro hit the neck only after bringing the sauropod half-down? Because one of my pet peeves in older representation is how easily theropods seemed to grab the neck of much taller sauropods from the start, which would in all likelihood be well out of reach aside from perfect ambushes.

Wordless Calvin and Hobbes strip from Calvin’s POV, where he is flying as Spaceman Spiff over an alien world until he is snapped out of it by a yelling Ms. Wormwood. After a moment, it is a new POV fantasy where Calvin is a carnivorous theropod stalking long-necked sauropods in a Mesozoic jungle.

My spouse found them on The Internet, look i'm not making it up!
Tiktok screenshot from user "plantsofcolour69". Two ceramic sauropods; one light blue with multicoloured polkadots and a friendly smile and one shorter, pinky-orange, with red love hearts scattered over them and a light blue wizard hat with purple splotches. In front of the light blue one is a card: Bambi $169 - Can be found at the local park round house kicking men in the face - has goblin syphilis - [unclear] rocks In front of the pinky-orange one is a card Titus Andronicus: - Makes potions to give men a second penis - has a scar on their neck from wrestling a demon with bums as eyes

... and IWCMS 7306, the 'Angloposeidon' neck vertebra. It comes from a very large titanosaurifirm sauropod that would have been over 20 m long and was likely Sauroposeidon-like. Myself and colleagues published this specimen in 2004. #sauropods

The major conflict in the Jurassic World films was that people got bored of dinosaurs. Hammond should have started with a small herd of sauropods, blown everyone's minds and then released a new species every couple years like iPhones. Everyone is on the edge of their seats for the big T Rex release.

This sauropod existed in the same area as other sauropods from the Morrison such as Apatasaurus and Diplodocus, processing particularly primitive traits in comparison to its cousins.

Carrion of the sauropod Euhelopus zdanskyi in a stream during the early Cretaceous in what is today Chandong, China. In the ribcage a fossil of the fish Sinamia zdanskyi was also found. Three Sinamia investigating the intestines of the carrion. In the lower right hand corner a small group of the turtle Sinemys lens. Head of dead Euhelopus zdanskyi in a stream. Three Sinamia zdanskyi (fish) investigating the intestines of a decaying Euhelopus in a stream. Seven Sinemys lens (turtle) on the bank of a stream.

It's absolutely bonkers to imagine how this might work and why aren't they in constant pain? But they aren't. If you look how incongruent limb joints in sauropods are I think this could absolutely be a model for that. www.nature.com/articles/290...

In one of our recent polls on Patreon (which you can join for free!), we asked about dinosaur myths you heard as a kid. One of the most popular ones was that sauropods were so big they had to live in water

Today's four GHOULISH works of palaeoart!

Art by Chris Forsey, Mary Ann Fraser, Mario Kessler, and Édouard Riou.
A green, wrinkly-skinned theropod lifts its head up into the air. A cloud of flies buzzes around it. It is either gulping down a slice of flesh or licking its scaly lips with a disturbingly human-like tongue. A pair of Tyrannosaurus rip apart the partially dismembered carcass of a blue-grey, beaked dinosaur. In the distance, a volcano erupts, spitting lava and smoke into the sky. A shaggy brown pterosaur with a serrated beak and veiny, pinkish wings swoops low over a river in preparation to snag a fish. Another pterosaur soars behind. On the shore, a group of grey sauropods approaches the lake. A trio of stocky, thick-necked Deinotherium foraging in a swamp. Their human-like eyes stare with dull, almost lifeless expressions. One stands on the shore, clutching a branch in its trunk, while the other two wade deeply in the water.

Though being a gigantic animal, Diplodocus shared its habitat with several other very large sauropods (Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, etc..) & carnivores (Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus).

Here we go, talking about aerostatopic hadrosau---. Anyways, less controversial that wobbly monk-seal-faced hadrosaurs, so here we go.

We begin with Diplodocus, for which some research indicates extensive fleshy tissue comes out of the nose.

Cranial reconstruction of two sauropod dinosaurs in dorsolateral anterior-oblique views, with bones in a pale brown, shaded darker brown, and highlighted. Sauropods are Diplodocus (left) and Giraffatitan (right) Labels indicate various relevant structures (bony nostrils, narial fossa, antorbital fenestra, antorbital fossa). These are in more or less the same place in these two different sauropods. Image caption (bottom left) reads: "No soft-tissue depicted (oblique dorsolateral view) drawn with respect to natural specimens but generalized from them, not depicting specific specimens."

Diplodocids had no chewing teeth to process food but peg teeth in front of the mouth to strip vegetation. Diplodocus fed on tougher plants partitioning resources with the other sauropods though, it may have had to compete against Camarasaurus.
