(Art by me) Tyrannosaurus rex killing Edmontosaurus annectens (and tiny Alphadon marshi on tree)

…and the chase is on.
Tyrannosaurus rex is an ambush predator. Bursting out from the undergrowth, he aims for the limbs. With the strongest bite force of any terrestrial animal, he crushes a forelimb severely, rendering this 7-tonne Edmontosaurus annectens unstable. Now, for the final blow…

Hell Creek map update! Please show me your location, or the locations of permanent places you know of.

This is day 2, and this is how the map looks like currently. As you can see, I’ve already marked the location of some places that some you guys have shown me yesterday. Show me more!

Working on a map of our Hell Creek region, please tell me or show me your places or locations whatsoever.

So, this is an unfinished map of our Hell Creek Formation. Please tell where you live or any other permanent places or features for me to add. Anything at all that is permanent. I’ll make a second post later when we’re done with this map. I imagine this to be an easy way for you guys to show locations of your discoveries and stuff later on (maybe take a screenshot and scribble the new locations) and I will edit the map accordingly. Not sure if I made it clear, or you have any questions, just ask.

Notice: Thescelosaurus restaurant temporarily closed due to war.

Please kindly note that my restaurant will be temporarily closed because I refuse to serve squamates, as long as the war lasts. If you’re desperate for something tasty, please meet me personally. Thanks for your cooperation!

  3. Lycophyte salad

Let me know what you think. Be honest.

(Art by me) 3 Million Years After the K-Pg Extinction, Nacimiento Formation

3 million years after the K-Pg mass extinction, and life is thriving.

Here, in the southwest of North America, a Carsioptychus coarctatus forages for food. Unknowingly, she has wandered into the territory of a large male Ectoconus ditrigonus.

And dinosaurs persist too. A male Tsidiiyazhi abini tries his best to win the heart of his love.

What do y’all think?

[Art by me] Lariosaurus xingyiensis pursuing Habroichthys orientalis!

240 million years ago, 3500 kilometres east of Pangea, lies a small remote landmass.
Here, just off its western coast, a male Lariosaurus xingyiensis chases a shoal of Habroichthys orientalis. While his hind limbs retain joints and claws from his terrestrial ancestors, his flipper-forelimbs are highly adapted to his sub-aquatic lifestyle.

[OC, digital art by me] Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis escapes Dilong paradoxus!

Here, in the temperate forests of what will one day become eastern Asia, we have travelled back 128 million years.
Suddenly... a sudden rush of movement. A Psittacosaurus lujiatunensis is running... running for its very life. Desperate to shake its pursuer, it makes a tactical retreat... slipping into the safety of the deeper water.
The hunter emerges. It is a Dilong paradoxus. But this is no seasoned killer. It is a mere juvenile... a youngster, simply practicing the vital skills it will need to survive in adulthood. It pauses at the water's edge, calculating... evaluating... testing the depth of this aquatic barrier.

In this lush, prehistoric world, an abundance of resources fuels a remarkably diverse host of unique fauna... and flora. And here, just beneath the surface, lies perhaps one of the most significant organisms of all.
At first glance, it appears rather unassuming. This... is Archaefructus. It is an aquatic plant, but it carries a profound secret. This fragile green stem is one of the earliest known angiosperms... the very first flowering plants.
Right now, it is a rare curiosity. But in just forty million years' time, this revolutionary group of plants will diversify at an astonishing rate... ultimately spreading across the globe, and changing the face of our planet forever.

I do hope I nailed the Sir David Attenborough accent.😆
