Beast guessing

Rubecula

Ok here is the idea. I have a creature in mind. (Prehistoric but no further clue on that just yet.)

You guess what it is. Get it right and you can post with a creature.

Guess it with first clue you get five points. Clue two, Three points, clue three, one point. Keep your own score as it is for fun.

Clue 1.

Fossils of this reptile, have mainly been found in England and France.

Allosaur

Judging from whence the question originated and knowing your interest in all things marine.....

I'll go with Liopleurodon ferrox

I made this too easy didn't I? Mr Five points Allosaur.:pac:

Allosaur

Not really Rubecula. I cheated. I guessed knowing your penchant for fishy things. It was a 50-50 between that and a ichthyosaur and seeing as I know very few Ichty species.....

Now I got to pick a beast......

Rubecula

Just call me rube it is easier to spell Al. :pac:

If I get another chance I think I will have to consider choosing something I don't know myself :pac::pac:

Allosaur

K. My turn.

Proof that Tyrannosaurs were on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway....

Rubecula

Nothing to do with post codes I assume :pac:

I am not really sure what you want to be totally honest so I will make a wild stab in the dark. (Obviously T.rex itself is not what you are looking for.)

Would it be Dryptosaurus ?

Would it be Daspletosaurus ?

Nope. He was found in the familiar band along the west side of the interior seaway along with Albert and Gorgo.

The one I'm thinnking of has a distinctly Eastern name. (That was clue #2)

Appalachiosaurus?

I was gonna guess that.

Great thread idea BTW.

Not sure how good the idea is myself, but it seemed a nice way to get folks to search for answers for themselves and perhaps learn something. Well it may work for me anyway:pac:

There used to be a dino named Laelaps I think it was related to Tyrannosaurs. But I am guessing a bit here. ( I did a quick search online... not so quick really...:pac:)

It's not tarbosaurus baator? I remember reading that that was the Asian t rex?

Laelaps is now Dryptosaurus.

And yes, Tarbosaurus is an eastern Tyrannosaur, but Allosaur's question said Western Interior Sea, which was the shallow sea dividing North America in two halves- therefore, we should think of a North American tyrannosaur that lived in the eastern half.

I would say Appalachiosaurus- Dryptosaurus is seemingly a tyrannosauroid but its remains are way too incomplete to say if it was an actual tyrannosaurid.

That's the bunny

(Appalachains being the mountain chain in Eastern N. America, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.);)

Nope. Thats a little too far east.
T. bataar, IIRC used to be called Tyrannosaurus without the suffix rex.

Wonderful, I am learning all the time, I didn't know that.

Well done Adam, I think that is 3 points to you, your turn to pose the question.

Scores so far:
Al 5

Depends on who you ask. Some insist on calling it tyrannosaurus bataar. Personally, I would tend to agree.

Adam Khor

My turn then?

Ok. This small dinosaur was once believed to have been aquatic.

Galvasean

Compsognathus?

Adam Khor

Correct Damn! Too easy. Ur turn :>

Galvasean

This dinosaur once went traveling with Christian Slater.

Pyroraptor olympius

Galvasean

Ah yeah, I reckon that's five points for you.
Your turn.

Adam Khor

Ok. This time its a non-dinosaur.

This creature is notorious for being one of the first and largest venomous top predators of all time.

Galvasean

Megalania AKA Varanus prisca?

Adam Khor

Nope. Think older.

Allosaur

A Therocephalian?

Galvasean

Ooh ooh! Euchambersia!!?

Adam Khor

Haha noo, think bigger.
