My son loves dinosaurs, so I built him an encyclopedia. It got out of hand.
My son got completely obsessed with dinosaurs. Every day at home is basically T-Rex debates and 'did you know Spinosaurus could swim?' conversations.
So I started building a little dinosaur site for him on weekends. It kept growing and somehow turned into https://mesoris.com
Right now it has:
- Dinosaur profiles with size, diet, habitat, and era
- Side-by-side dinosaur comparisons
- A timeline covering 180 million years
- A dino quiz
- Fossil digging and puzzle mini-games
- Articles about paleontology and discoveries
He’s basically the QA team. If something was boring or confusing, I had to redo it.
The site supports 6 languages, and the code is open source under MIT on GitHub if anyone wants to explore it further.

I have heard that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbred within the past 50,000 years
I mean i would like to assume in those days mammals were not open to interbred given the evolution of our society, i am thinking why would Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals unless one was looking for some else's protection. I also read Neanderthals males bred with Homo sapiens females more in reference to Homo sapiens males to Neanderthals females. Was it that Neanderthals were more powerful than Homo sapiens

What are the largest maneater species, and the smallest, and what strategies should be applied to repel or defend from them?
Hypothetically, which prehistoric animals (smallest and largest) would comfortably hunt hominids or Homo sapiens? What strategies or defenses can vulnerable people apply to scare them off or fight back?

Diplodocids Of Jurassic Portugal
art by danny cicchetti
Diplodocids are some of the most iconic sauropods of the Jurassic. Brontosaurus, diplodocus and apatosaurus all belong to this family of giants. Renowned for their long necks,graceful swan-like build and whiptails,they are icons of the Jurassic.
They are most famous from the morrison formation,but this post however is not about the morrison formation diplodocids. I will be going over the known diplodocids from the Lusitanian basin of Portugal.
Lets get into it.
___________
Dinheirosaurus (supersaurus) lourinhanensis
specimen(s): ML 414
Provenance: Porto Novo member of the Lourinhã formation
It was named in 1999. Its holotype specimen consists of dorsal vertebrae and cervical vertebrae. It is closely related to North America's supersaurus,to the point some consider it to be synonymous. It was of moderately large size for diplodocids,at 25 meters in length.
___________
Portuguese sister to Diplodocus
Specimen(s):SHN(jjs)177,178
Provenance: Porto Novo Member of the lourinha formation,freixial formation
This is an unnamed taxon from several of the formations in the lusitanian basin. It's been recovered in preliminary analyses as being closely related to diplodocus proper. Its been mentioned in 2 abstracts and 1 peer reviewed paper.
It was of similar size to dinheirosaurus, the ischia of 177 and femur length of 178 were similar in size to corresponding elements from dippy the diplodocus,specimen CM84.
_______________
Blue Beach Giant
Specimen(s): Unknown catalog number, In possession of the SHN of torres vedra
Provenance: Praia azul member of the Lourinha formation
The blue beach giant is yet another unnamed taxon. In this case the information comes from Personal communications with The SHN and news reports. Information from SHN was reproduced with their permission.
According to them the remains were unambiguously from a diplodocoid. It was a giant animal,30 meters long by their reckoning. The ribs were at least 2.2 meters in length. The name blue beach giant refers to the praia azul locality,which in portuguese translates to blue beach.
___________________________
Miscellaneous specimens
Specimen(s):ML 418,MG 4819, 4821, 4826, 25197.1-6,SHN 521,589,588,Quinta da aguiera femur,Porto dinheiro footprint not catalogued
Provenance: Porto novo member of the lourinha formation,bombarall formation
These are specimens that didnt appear to belong to any distinct taxon. ML 418 was declared as being distinct from dinheirosaurus but being a singular vertebrae it cant be excluded as having come from any of the other taxon. The quinta da aguiera femur is a large femur chunk, interpreted as having come from an animal bigger than dippy the diplodocus according to the post by paleontology student pedro andrade. The uncatalogued footprint from porto dinheiro is a huge 105 cm footprint of a sauropod. Only a brachiosaurid or diplodocid was big enough to leave it. Brachiosaurids on the other hand however have broad,circular and teardrop shaped footprints and the footprints morphology is inconsistent with that. Therefore it better fits the more elongated feet of diplodocids.
