    Murals reminded me of Charles Knight
    Laelops-Charles_Knight-1896.jpg

    this is from 1896 when dinosaurs were supposed to plod along

    Crocodiles are cold blooded but they can bound like rabbits galloping along with their spines stiff. So you don't need to be warm blooded to spring into action

    Will have to dig out my prehistoric books to more nice ones.

    And so the art thread was born (feel free to submit better ideas for names).

    Post either:

    -your own art
    -famous art that you like (please do your best to credit the artist who made thepiece)
    or just chat about your favourite palaeontology artists.

    I think I'll put forward for your consideration one of my favourite current palae artists, Luis V Rey. He has become one of the most prominent artists of dinosaurs in recent years and his works decorate many books.
    His colourful and dynamic style is easy to spot. They really look like action packed snapshots of a long gone world.

    Some of my favourites:

    Some Utahraptors don't get it all their own way when wrangling with an Astrodon:
    071030-rey-astrodon-02.jpg

    A pair of carcharodontosaurines ambush a juvenille titanosaur:

    Therizinosaurus grabs a bite:

    Gigantoraptors defend their babies from a marauding Alectrosaurus:

    Only encountered this Luis V. Rey picture today:
    148769482_aa6e88ef7f_o.jpg

    I also taught this was incredibly cool. Really puts things into perspective:

    [pedant] eating broadleaves, oak by the look of it and is that grass at his feet? A bit out of place. [/pedant]:D Great pictures and idea for thread. Amazing that the victorian artist put so much movement into the creatures in the first pic.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Article on a recent dinosaur art exhibition by William Stout:

    Check out his prehistoric gallery on his official website.

    Here' a sample:

    Oh, by the way, the funky Nephila jurassica pic I showed you before? It was mine too. I just wanted to know what you guys would say without knowing who the author was :D Now I wonder why you thought I was Japanese.

    Hope u like these, anyways :)

    Knew it!

    Can you check your Kosmoceratops vs Teratophoneus again? Not loading up for me..

    Great pics all 'round. Love the dino made of dinos.

    edit: actually, your other pic of Teratophoneus aint loading either :/

    If you have any pics of anything non palaeontology related, feel free to post them in the off topic thread.

    The picture of Pristichampsus. It seems to show it has bitten his vital bits off.

    Just uploaded a new pic, it's a couple of Omeisaurus. Based them off some Gregory Paul reconstructions and they look really, really weird. Next time I'm basing them only on my imagination XD

    omeisaurus_by_hodarinundu-d3g4ldp.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    To be honest I think they were more likely to have had a horizontal stance not an upright one. Moving heads from side to side not high up in the air.

    Just my own impression though, not a fact.

    Yeah, that seems to be the current idea but I'm not really convinced... I have noticed that in many ancient ecosystems there were different kinds of sauropods with different neck lenghts. I can´t imagine how they avoided competition with each other unless they were feeding at different heights just the same way gerenuks and giraffes avoid competing with other herbivores. Omeisaurus looks like a high level browser to me, although of course I'm no expert :>

    Also, I don´t think sauropods (at least most of them) carried their necks horizontally. Seems to me that it would be a waste, when they could use their long neck to watch their surroundings for potential food sources or predators, as well as other sauropods, wouldn´t that be an advantage?
    Also, seems to me that a sauropod carrying its neck horizontally would be in dire danger of its throat being bitten by a predator; to avoid this the sauropod would have to lift its neck fairly quickly, which, if it wasn´t adapted already to carry its neck upright, would probably cause it to have a stroke or something. :(

    So, my view is that sauropods carried their neck upright just like modern day mammals and birds (I think they recently published a study that confirmed this, didn´t they?) and that they had adaptations that allowed them to lift or lower their head freely without fainting or dying as a result (which always seemed like a stupid idea to me). But like I said, I am no expert and this probably deserves another thread haha :cool:
