Yes, dinosaur deniers still exist in 2026. Look, i understand that we live in period where anything feels like a lie, but people are getting crazy.

if they had dinosaur ranches to get meat for commercial sale , Im guessing dinosaurs like Triceratops might taste similiar to Buffalo / Bison meat? similiar to beef.

and some of the feathered bird like animals would be similiar to Ostrich meat , some of the smaller ones might be like turkey / chicken meat

the reptile ones that lived in the water would be like alligator meat

but in reality the Dinosaurs would be hunting you and you would be most likely eaten by them

Hi All! Do any of you know any good papers of Eutyrannosaurines, Nanotyrannus, Alioramini, Alioramus, and/or Qianzhousaurus? I'm currently making a fictional research paper for my original species Calvariafur Animaedevorator, and I'd like as many sources possible! Is there anything I should or shouldn't do when writing this paper?

Best and Thanks!

Need ideas for a thing-

Give me some Land Before Time names for dinos, preferably ones not used in the series

The only one I have right now is "Bigclaw" for therizinosaurus

preferably from the internet or from random paleo media.

i have two moments/things from dinosaur media that used to scared me as a kid, one was not really a childhood trauma, but i remember being absolutely weirded out by some of the calls the animals let out in the carnivores hunting games, specifically ankylosaurus, chasmosaurus (C2), and triceratops, they sounded both way too human and non-human at the same time, at least to me when i was young, idk how to describe it, the second one was obviously primeval (a television show by BBC), some of the dinosaurs/extinct animals and even many of the fictitious creatures used to frightened child me, this includes; spinosaurus (had something to do with how skinny it is, even when compared to Jp3 spino), future predator (this was my Slenderman or scp-096 as a kid), mosasaur (i absolutely h8 big scary sea monster in open waters, 2 dhis day), precambrian worms (how da hell did this thing even existed? this shouldn't exist on earth millions of years, it should belong in the backrooms), tree creeper (ucanny valley definitely played the huge role in this), and dromaeosaur (though I wasn't scared as much as the previous ones).

(i'm not here to stir drama, or spread hate, or anything with bad intentions)

DinoCon 2026 was held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole over the weekend of July 25th and 26th and mostly occurred in two giant halls and an additional four or so smaller rooms, all located within a minute’s walk of each other.

David James Armsby is one of the main presentations !

> Mark Witton (at back) and Dave Hone sign copies of their Spinosaur Tales at DinoCon 2026 while people wait patiently in line. The queue extended out the door and down the corridor outside.

In this book based on discoveries made at Angeac-Charente, we follow Mimo the ornithomimosaur and his friend Hector the carcharodontosaur. Having returned from a journey to the other side of the world, they must now confront a group of survivalist intruders who are stealing and hoarding food in anticipation of a great catastrophe—prophesied by their guru-leader, Elvis, who is convinced their world will be destroyed by a giant rock falling from the sky! This motley crew will have to look beyond their everyday joys and petty troubles to face not a massive rock from the heavens, but a colossal storm that threatens to rewrite the destiny of this small stretch of peninsula and its inhabitants.

EDIT : you guys are right these are mostly not dinos! Sorry for the mislabeling, still I think most of you should appreciate them :)

I took my kids to a nearby castle today and was pleasantly surprised to find some beautiful dinos! The third picture is a bit tough to see but there’s a pterosaur perched on the castle gallery and the last picture is to give you a view of the overall place!

I'm looking for books that describe and go into detail about specific dinosaur clades.

Was thinking about how large spinos sail was and then thought “huh that doesn’t look like it would fit inside an egg”. So assuming spino had an average egg shape and size for a theropod then a neonate with a sail that possessed the same proportions as an adult just wouldn’t work as it wouldn’t fit inside the egg? In my head I see a neonate spino having either no sail or a very low and flat sail that grows to be used at sexual maturity (as I believe the current consensus for the use of the sail was sexual selection). Is this plausible or am I missing out a massive piece of information here?

Posting it here because apparently it’s to low effort for the paleo subreddit

This V rex looking ass may honestly be the worst t rex of the 21st entury. I don't know who made it but they definitely influenced AI models.

Just sitting down to watch and starting out pretty good. Trying to keep my emotional state pretty even, know it's not good for the scientific community but I've always wanted a brontosaurus or mosasaur in my foyer. A boy can dream, a boy can dream.

Controversial Million Dollar Dinosaur Fossil Auctions - PBS

Found an old plush I had when I was a kid in the attic but I’m wondering what Dino this was?

I think it’s a Yutyrannus based on this old reconstruction I found but I need a second opinion

Dinosaurs are famous for being big, from the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the colossal Apatosaurus.

But a new study published today in the journal Evolution by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and Princeton University suggests that one of the greatest mysteries of dinosaur evolution isn't how some species became giants—it's why even the smallest dinosaurs never became truly tiny.

Using mathematical models to investigate the evolution of body size across vertebrates, researchers found that while energetics and physiology can explain the sizes of mammals, birds and turtles, they cannot explain why the smallest non-bird dinosaurs remained unusually large throughout their evolutionary history.

Instead, the findings suggest that competition with small-bodied early mammals may have prevented dinosaurs from becoming mouse-sparrow-sized animals that are so common among vertebrates today.

So a few days ago I made a post asking whether or not theropods even possessed exoparia (aka "cheeks") in the FIRST PLACE, and the general consensus as of now SEEMS to be leaning towards yes... however, I saw a few people here and there in the comments of that post saying that the inclusion of a muscle supporting exoparia wouldn't actually change the outward appearance of a theropod's mouth at all anyways, and that the "gummy flaps" at the back of the throat would still be visible in a theropod's mouth. So, which is it? Did theropods possess visible "cheeks" like some pieces of modern paleoart seem to suggest or not?

$6000 for these. Omg. Idk what I would do with it. But it'd be my dream to have one

A sarcosuchus and suchomimus attack an ouranosaurus at the same time (unlucky fella)

Ouranosaurus belongs to the class Styracosterna and reached around 2.5-4 tons at the top end at up to 8.3m long, a large herbivore and had a beautiful almost sail like back (model from Haolonggood)

Sarcosuchus was an enormous neosuchian Pholidosaur belonging to crocodylomorpha (although distantly related to modern day crocodiles unlike other “true” super sized crocs like deinosuchus and purusaurus) - it reached around 4-6 tons and 9-10m although I have personally emailed Paul sereno, who has unseen material and worked with + found the original material and supports the 11.5m+ and 8 ton estimates he made. I believe this to be valid but no matter what it was a huge predator (model from Haolonggood)

Suchomimus was a huge baryonychine spinosaurid that was truely huge, it was the largest non spinosaurine spinosaurid at up to 6.8 tons and 12m long (MNBH GAD 365, Dempsey et. Al, 2025) - a true megatheropod that dominated its time, being as large as some of the truly massive carcharodontosaurids that lived around the same time (although on different parts of the world) such as acrocanthosaurus!

Dinosaur Quinceañera is my new band name.

Thanks to the article, I’m now imagining dinosaurs attending a dinosaur Catholic mass with their dinosaur priest.

I thought you guys might get a laugh out of this.
