[stiff osprey]

To be fair, this is only true if the footprints are close to eachother, which implies a walking gait anyway and not a running one. If the footprints are a massive distance apart then the only plausible explanation is that the animal was running fast

Or flying

[foggy river]

acro could fly confirmed
truly these magnificent creatures

[orchid lynx]

a Six ton Dinosaur leaping on a sauropod is so scary he must been enraged

[balmy oyster]

He also must have been a transdimensional entity because he isn’t able to do that

[tough parcel]

Or it just didn't happen...like we've been saying

@stiff osprey I feel that is diminished when you get into the large body sizes

[foggy river]

he could do it if he used his wings to balance smh the logic is right there

[stiff osprey]

The acro that made the tracks definitely wasn't full sized, if it did jump it would be more like a 2-3 ton animal jumping rather than 6

[craggy trench]

https://tenor.com/view/scary-meme-dank-emoji-creepy-gif-17128309

[foggy river]

that or maybe he got an alley oop from a second acro wearing snow shoes

[stiff osprey]

This is true but as it stands we don't have running tracks from... any large dinosaur that I know of

[undone rapids]

Maybe it was a very big acro, but it was just tip toeing to sneak up on the sauropod, which made smaller tracks

[orchid lynx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGXtsAwgz7Y i think it was here but i will look lakter acro is definately mentioned there @stiff osprey at 45:00

[light osprey]

The hopping megafauna

[orchid lynx]

45:20 it is

[foggy river]

its in the video so it has to be true then, damn

[tough parcel]

Jarvis, bring up Lancian's jumping Mamenchisaurus and Random's flying Spinosaurus art

[balmy oyster]

Technically speaking our version of tip toe is just how theropods walked normally so it would have to be tip—tip toeing, like a horse

[undone rapids]

it was walking just on it claws,very sneaky

[thorn grove]

ballerina acro

[stiff osprey]

That's the one

[foggy river]

tag urself im C1F

[tough parcel]

Wasn't the trackway broken?

Or did it just end? I swear I recall some part of it was damaged or destroyed

[undone rapids]

Yeah, this was a musical section of a disney movie

[thorn grove]

maybe I'm dumb but could the missing trackway have simply been there

[tough parcel]

I mean is that the location of the missing track

Idk where in the sequence!

[stiff osprey]

Yeah ok they explain why it wasn't a jump here

''Bird concluded-and the late paleoartist David Thomas concurred-that at this point in the trackway the theropod had actually attacked the sauropod, only to be dragged off its feet by the forward motion of the much bigger herbivore. As the meat-eater took an involuntary forward hop, its left foot was unable to touch the ground, and so print C1K was never made. Although we think it quite possible that the theropod was indeed closely following the sauropod, we are skeptical that Bird’s putative hop actually occurred. Had the carnivore been pulled off its feet after partly impressing right print C1J, to come down on the same right foot to make print C1L, we would expect footprint C1L to be very unusual. There might be a spectacular skid mark as the theropod’s right foot contacted the substrate as it swung forward. Given the weight of the theropod (Bates et al., 2009b), print C1L would likely have been particularly deep, probably passing completely through the Main Tracklayer as many of the sauropod footprints do. Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing unusual about footprint C1L.''

[orchid lynx]

thats so cool we get a jumping acrocantho from Alderon

[balmy oyster]

Did you read anything

[stiff osprey]

I mean if Kaiwhekea can launch itself a mile in the air and Tylo can crawl on land i don't see why they can't make acro jump

[orchid lynx]

what you say to the paleontologist in the video says that the acro leaped?

[charred hearth]

is it possible some dinosaurs had more then 1 stomach?

[thorn grove]

execution

[ancient crystal]

Paleontologists can be wrong

In fact some of them have made being wrong their entire public personality

[orchid lynx]

but who are you saying he wrong do we know the 100% truth?

[balmy oyster]

cough jack horner

[stiff osprey]

the paleontologists who have studied the prints in person don't think it leaped (the quote i posted is from page 24 of this paper)

[polar rain]

Jack horner was in the epstein files btw

[stiff osprey]

or well page 24 of the pdf it's like page 60 something of the paper

[orchid lynx]

so we have paleontologist vs paleontologist @ancient crystal also told me Megalodon didnt coexist with Great white shark thoo

[ancient crystal]

I literally did not say that lmao

[paper parcel]

Wasn't jack horner in that one shrek movie?

[balmy oyster]

Puss in boots 2: the last wish

[stiff osprey]

I always forget what the youngest megalodon record is

according to wikipedia it's 3.6 mya while great white sharks appear 5.3 mya, so yeah they coexisted for about 1.5-2 million years

[ancient crystal]

Yeah, Jack Horner is also a nursery rhyme character

Which you could've seen if the mods didn't delete the gif I sent

[balmy oyster]

Yea we know

[quasi path]

Megalodon and Great white existed at the same time

[ancient crystal]

This screenshot disproves what you tried to say I said lmao

[orchid lynx]

he changed the post

[quasi path]

There was no "edited" in the img

[ancient crystal]

Ok, you're getting really damn annoying. Don't try and paint me as some liar because I don't think acro was jumping on sauropods.

[quasi path]

If you knew what she paints me as lmao

[balmy oyster]

This mean acro jump on sauropod?? You are not 10000% right therefore you are wrong im rigjt

[orchid lynx]

he deleted it i couldnt find he probably just googled it after i was saying great white probably extinct megalodon or was another reason for him to extinct

[balmy oyster]

Just drop it tbh, it almost seems like you’re tryna instigate arguments

[quasi path]

The message had no Edited in it, that was the original mssg, Venator didnt change anything

[orchid lynx]

it was deleted entirely

[full lagoon]

What's the largest dinosaur you think could jump to any degree?

[thorn grove]

i think they are ragebaiting considering they have multiple times claimed people are saying the opposite of what they said

[ancient crystal]

I didn't delete anything? Why are you being this-

You know what, never mind @tight kettle if mods are going to delete choice parts of this conversation can something be done about this?

[full lagoon]

Older sources of media would occasionally mention Allosaurus but that too seems unlikely

[quasi path]

They call me something not very nice whenever we have an argument, idk how they arent banned because it aint a "lightly" thing lol

[dreamy lance]

If it was an interaction here on Discord, please send a DM to @feral crane to contact our team

[jovial tapir]

Was it Spino the biggest carnivore theropod we know so far? Not a crazy difference, but still.

[quasi path]

Will do then

[ancient crystal]

Deleted messages can still be seen in server logs I'm pretty sure

[orchid lynx]

T rex is heavier :))

[jovial tapir]

Referring to height to be more cocrete.

[quasi path]

Yep i just thought i needed to provide sc of the evidence, but if logs are there i will file the report

[orchid lynx]

Yes t rex was also higher from head to spino cant reach him with its claws, Spino was the longest theropod yes

[full lagoon]

I think that Tyrannosaurus might also be taller than spino on average now? But there's definitely overlap

[jagged trellis]

i mean the largest stuff that can jump today are in the 4 ton zone so logically that area

[thorn grove]

outside of length is spinosaurus even really in the running for largest theropod anymore

[full lagoon]

Interesting, so I see why allosaurs could be thought to do so

[charred hearth]

could maip jump?

[orchid lynx]

i think a Python is also longer then a Anaconda but not as heavy or big

[stiff osprey]

Honestly I think @thorn grove has it, the print is missing because it just isn't in the slab that any of the museums collected

[thorn grove]

I am the smartest person ever

[balmy oyster]

tallest theropod by hip height…still gets you rex.

technical tallest theropod I believe is probably theri?

[jovial tapir]

I honestly don't think than an adult Acro who is heavier than an elephant would be able to jump, but if there is something that I know is that nature can make possible what we sometimes look impossible

[orchid lynx]

Nature is amazin he reigned 28 million years for a reason

[stiff osprey]

If you assume the missing print was anywhere else it would mean the theropod has two right feet or two left feet

but only temporarily as it then regains its normal feet later

[jagged trellis]

seeing its abit to hard full muscle power on it and to judge fully, could be abit higher
though id still stick to the 4 ton zone given abit hard to test jumping specifically iirc

[jovial tapir]

I was talking only about terrestrial/semiaquatic carnivores anyways.

[balmy oyster]

Then it’s rex

[undone rapids]

If rex and spino look up they'd be taller at the head. Actually maybe not rex

[stiff osprey]

Is that how theri looks next to rex oh my god

[orchid lynx]

small rex here

[thorn grove]

that's sue isn't it

[fossil ingot]

Yeah

[undone rapids]

Don't make me check theri a 3rd time, it should be correct

[stiff osprey]

I'm used to seeing it next to tarbo where it at least looks like it has a chance but here it's just completely mogged

[orchid lynx]

tyrannus magnus

[undone rapids]

Its Sue

[balmy oyster]

Ignore her

[orchid lynx]

Yes isnt sue kinda smole

[fossil ingot]

Tarbo still peaker
I only have Tarbo next to Deinoc smh

[orchid lynx]

[fossil ingot]

I still can't over come how Comically Small Tarbosaurus arms are lmao

[stiff osprey]

what i was trying to say is that unfortunately G|MP kills the quality of an image whenever you rotate it. if i tilted the spine to be vertical i'd have to draw it all over again

[orchid lynx]

Imagine t rex had lips this destroys the myth!

[plush fossil]

this is unsuccessful ragebait

[thorn grove]

this is just sad now

[stiff osprey]

it's true. t.rex also looked like an anvil fell on its head when it was alive

[orchid lynx]

Show me a croc with lipps bruh

please get better ragebait this has been done to death

Dang

I swear that chat gets closer to being shut down by the mods over there everytime theres new drama to morally grandstand about.

thats a Gator 😄

t rex powerscaling gonna love this one

[fossil ingot]

I feel your ragebait needs to be better

[orchid lynx]

his teeth are too long for lips he would bite his lipps especially biting an Anky

[full lagoon]

???

[orchid lynx]

how is it ragebait when we dont know we just assume.

[fossil ingot]

Idk why using an Skull where you can clearly see it has a brokek Jaw

[undone rapids]

Its a Crocodile, here's Kaprosuchus which had its picture taken by a time traveller with an x-ray camera

[ancient crystal]

Guys, they're ragebaiting, they have no intention of actually discussing anything with you

[orchid lynx]

the faked sues skull when recontruct her they do that with all skelettons you probably didnt even eat a real banana other then synthetic stuff

[fossil ingot]

I mean
Its Clearly Rage Bait so like

[orchid lynx]

Ok the Paleo chat is just ragebaiting chat i guess.

[fossil ingot]

I mean
Look at Poor Sue

Sue just looked like that. Individual variation

[fossil ingot]

The 3.8t Tarbo...
Or was it like 4.1t

Yeah
9.7m and 3.8t PIN 551-1

Bro gained 70cm and about 3.1t lol

[ancient crystal]

They've latched onto the woman looking pregnant for some reason

[fossil ingot]

Every theropod wished it had that kind of variation...

[outer tusk]

I really like this one something about it is just so nice

[fossil ingot]

Prob its Big Ah Head

[outer tusk]

don't forget

[thorn grove]

please eat my baby

[undone rapids]

The man is very fascinated by its tail

[orchid lynx]

im serious why spino dont have lips in path?

[stiff osprey]

I think he's yelling at the woman to stop handing their kids over to carnivorous dinosaurs

[frail robin]

Stylistic choice I believe

You can ask the same thing about Sucho, Hatz, Achillo, etch. The game does aim for accuracy but takes liberties with certain designs

[orchid lynx]

yea makes sense also for t rex since he could constantly regrow his teeth

[fossil ingot]

For Spino not having lips can somewhat make sense
Sucho prob had more chances of lips

[orchid lynx]

cause water protection i guess

[fossil ingot]

Achillo's Design isn't even bad and tmk its proportions aren't bad either
Is just that is Oversized as Fk
The Mohawk is Stylized but tbh its cool

[plush fossil]

i like achillo, im just not a fan of the flesh around its eyes that much

[orchid lynx]

is t rex venomous rotten mouth also debunked? i really hate that mohawk tbh but i go with it because its just the best sub

[fossil ingot]

Like its pretty nice Proportions wise
It even a more upright posture like current Utah does seemingly have

[fossil ingot]

I mean
Any Carnivore eating a Corpse prob had a bad breath and bite
But yeah prob it is

[stiff osprey]

all carnivores have bacteria in their mouths, but they don't use them to poison prey (otherwise they would just poison the carnivore first)

[full lagoon]

Our mouths are probably dirtier

[orchid lynx]

100% from what we eat today xD

[full lagoon]

Not to mention dental arrangement and the fact that we don't shed teeth

[orchid lynx]

yes and sugar etc

[stark spade]

croc aesthetic?

[lucid gyro]

isn’t there a theory that theropod dinosaurs may not of possessed lips due to a teeth rotation system that sharks have? and isn’t there potential evidence for this in fossils we have

[tough parcel]

Yes and no

[stiff osprey]

Lots of animals shed teeth constantly and have lips, not shedding teeth is a mammal-specific trait

[ashen wedge]

This is the prostate exam, hope you studied for it Tarbosaurus

[ashen wedge]

Offer the Tarbo or Raptor Rex a fresh snack out of the womb

[outer tusk]

this thing is so stupid

[ancient crystal]

As far as I'm aware, the way in which theropods replaced teeth is not at all akin to the system sharks possess

[ashen wedge]

What’s the verdict with Raptor Rex?

[balmy oyster]

Baba of another mother

[ashen wedge]

Which baby mama?

[balmy oyster]

Raptorex mother

[ashen wedge]

So is it Tarbo?

[balmy oyster]

No

[undone rapids]

Maybe

[lucid gyro]

idk how either works tbh i’m just makin connections. but i didn’t know it was more common than i thought

[ancient crystal]

Unfortunately I can't find any good diagrams or the like for crocodillian tooth replacement which is what I imagine dinosaur tooth replacement would be more similar to.

This is how sharks do it though. Literally a conveyor belt of new developing teeth replacing older functional teeth

[stiff osprey]

with most reptiles including carnivorous dinosaurs, new teeth grow in from the back of the tooth socket, and the old tooth is gradually absorbed while the new tooth grows in until the old tooth fully loses its root and falls off

[ancient crystal]

Does this ability degrade over time? I could swear I've seen images of particularly old crocodillians with markedly less teeth than healthy adults

[stiff osprey]

Supposedly yes, it gets slower with age, but i've not seen an academic source for that

[ancient crystal]

Well, if my sandbar tooth morphometrics research doesn't pan out I guess I have a backup now lol

[paper parcel]

We should use genetic modification to put that into people tbh

Its not even realistic either, like they will literally form the avengers team to just kill my acro.

In the future, they will make a headset that gives you the iq of a dino and gives you a first person view, basically directly putting your soul in a virtual dino to do dino stuff, then when you die you leave and your iq is normal

Gaming and pot will become so advanced that you won't just be playing the dinos, you become the Dinos, even feeling pain and other stuff

[full lagoon]

Basically you are imagining that people should be FORCED to play realistically?

Dinosaur matrix, where people would become so addicted to pot they eventually just put their brain in pot to become dinos forever

[full lagoon]

I feel like that wouldn't be remotely possible without long term mental shifts tho (the rewiring your brain thing)

[paper parcel]

Probably wouldn't feel good leaving if it did work and would also be highly addictive, no taxes, head empty, belly full of sauropod.

[stiff osprey]

personally I'm not going to play a game if dying leads to me actually feeling my body ripped apart by a hundred steak knives

[stiff osprey]

wait why is the quality so bad

let me try again

[outer tusk]

the known and referred material are gray btw

[ashen nacelle]

just saying because some paleoart makes it look like this

[outer tusk]

I mean no paleoart is more "correct" since we only have one possible referred neck vert

[stiff osprey]

the thing i posted is a more recent work by that same artist

[ashen nacelle]

just kind of weird lol

[ashen nacelle]

also azhdarchid head crest shapes are just kind of weird them selfs

[paper parcel]

Would be "horrifying" to get eaten whole by one irl

[stiff osprey]

everyone draws then differently because there are a whole 2 azhdarchids with complete skulls (zhejiangopterus and quetzalcoatlus)

we have no idea what crests the rest of them may have had

[outer tusk]

ermm you mean "quetzalocoatlus" lawsoni!!!

[stiff osprey]

yes and by "complete" i also mean composite of 3 individuals

[paper parcel]

Sadge, would definitely be cool getting eaten by one though

[ashen nacelle]

also what are the chances that azhdarchids had neck pouches like pelicans?

[paper parcel]

Low

[stiff osprey]

probably low as they don't feed like pelicans do, but many birds have flexible throat pouches

[paper parcel]

Interesting

[ashen nacelle]

i mean pelicans dont Only eat fish they also eat some baby animals so just saying

[stiff osprey]

cormorants have normal looking necks most of the time but they expand to c o n s u m e fish

[ashen nacelle]

i have a mouth and i must feed

[stiff osprey]

though keep in mind azhdarchids would not eat prey this size because their stomachs are 1/10th the size of a cormorant's in proportion to the mouth

[queen oar]

@stiff osprey is it true that you don't like Argentinosaurus?

[stiff osprey]

no, it's one of my favorite sauropods (not top 3 but up there)

[paper parcel]

[ashen nacelle]

if i had to guess one of your favorites i would have to go with sauroposeidon

[queen oar]

pretty sure they can't really expand their organs to fit large prey either, right?

[outer tusk]

why would they

[stiff osprey]

they could probably swallow something the size of idk, a medium sized dog, or a small child. definitely not an adult human

[queen oar]

At least not to the degree most people imagine. Since, organs still have some elasticity

erm, actually! ☝️ 🤓

It is said that the brain size of Stegosaurus might be entirely a misconception or misunderstanding of the very nature of the skull we have preserved, as it is said the skull is likely crushed and it has likely affected the dimensions and proportions of the braincase as well.

[ashen nacelle]

just asking, how strong would the T-Rexes legs to jump atleast 10 to 15 feet in the the air, like this old paleoart

[thorn grove]

iirc this is daspletosaurus

nvm dryptosaurus

[balmy oyster]

Either daspleto or yuty, but prolly daspleto

[ashen nacelle]

going off other old tyrannosaurus rex depictions I think it is a T-Rex also because of the slight kangaroo stance

[remote mauve]

It's dasp

[ashen nacelle]

let me look up the year the art was made

[remote mauve]

I checked it's dryptosaurus

[balmy oyster]

We all wrong 🥀

[ashen nacelle]

still gonna check to feel smarter

For drypt i wouldn't doubt it was able to jump like that, but an adult T.rex is definitely breaking every bone in its legs doing that

[ashen nacelle]

I also just realized it has 5 fingers

[stiff osprey]

and they're way too small, because the hand claw of drypt was assumed to be on the foot at the time

[plush fossil]

errmmm actually! its a laelaps

[remote mauve]

same same nerd

[paper parcel]

its actually a displacosaurus, its teleports on bite prey 100 meters upwards to kill them but can only teleport things that can fit in its jaws

[gleaming talon]

Well the bones are one problem but muscles, skin, tendons and joints would be destroyed on impact

[gleaming talon]

Remember that birds are dinosaurs https://youtu.be/2TJaNDBI87s

[pastel yarrow]

Old paleoart goes brrr
Also its a dryptosaurus which were way smaller

[queen oar]

Feel like I've seen this name before

[winter marsh]

Dryptosaurus has like 2 mods in PoT

[night flare]

Have scientists ever figure out how high some of the dinosaurs can jump?

🧐🧐🧐

[stiff osprey]

Well yes T.rex could jump zero feet

[runic rover]

But for some very funny reason no community server I want to play in wants them :/

[winter marsh]

PTSR has the KTO drypto

The thing about drypto is that it isnt in mpst realism servers due to it having that classic trope of mid tier pack hunter bleeder (it is more of a glass cannon but still fits that description). Meaning it is basically a Conc but touched up a little. Its also very outdated (this can be said about both Dryptos since theyre very similar)

[queen oar]

Drypto discrimination

[winter marsh]

I honestly love the KTO one, its fast, agile and fairly strong for its size in exchange for being made of wet paper. Also sounds creepy as hell

[runic rover]

KTO is good at making mods

hello. who is the largest dromaeosaurid

[runic rover]

Atm Utah

There can always be a larger one yet to be found tho...

[ancient crystal]

What if it was attacking an alamosaurus and the forward momentum of the larger herbivore caused the rex to hop 🤔

[queen oar]

Do you think Utah is tall or obese?

[stiff osprey]

At least Acrocanthosaurus has arms, what is T.rex going to use to hold onto the Alamo

[queen oar]

The Ol' Reliable Jaws:

[ancient crystal]

Its big meaty jaws

[paper parcel]

It's gonna cast arresto momento using its deep voice

[runic rover]

Well... Idk, it's not exactly "fat", for sure it's larger than the biggest Achillo we found (...so far! I'm rooting for you!) and chonkier than Austro.

[stiff osprey]

see that's a better answer

[light osprey]

Perhaps the juvenile Alamosaurus

[paper parcel]

Nah but seriously, trex could probably get one-shot by a single kick or tail slap by a alamosaurus, even the force of the shorter tails of sauropods would be loud enough to be heard from miles

It's basically a walking tank and 360 hydraulic press

Needless to say there's a reason why things had to become extremely specialized to hunt them

[queen oar]

So it's Obese

[runic rover]

If you compare it to a Deinonychus without context... I guess

[queen oar]

It's why we don't find more fossils in Utah ( Utahraptor ate all of the fossils )

[runic rover]

In reality utahraptor was a single bone, it became a complete skeleton by assimilating other utahraptors

[queen oar]

It had to get all 7 Infinity Bones ( Or was it 6? )

Alamosaurus stomping on trex

[balmy oyster]

No it wouldn’t

Now it stomping onto a rex, yeah that’s going to be…painful

But I do not see why or how a brush of the tail will split a rex in two. It’ll be hurt yes, but it’s not gonna be lethal unless it’s like nano sized

[light osprey]

More interesting, how did Alamosaurus survive in the Hall Lake fm? Desert Sauropod is like this totally real occurrence and defies all intuition

[thorn grove]

they liked eating sand clearly

[paper parcel]

Just because it's not immediately lethal doesn't mean it's not gonna leave a mark

[paper parcel]

Maybe they could eat aquatic plants or bones? Deserts also have little pockets of bushes or other plants too

like this

[runic rover]

If the rex is a PoT player it'll take like more than 3 tail hits to make them realize they are not built for that.

[paper parcel]

No, they would just try to face tank it and get doublestomped🥀

[runic rover]

Then cry for a week the COLOSSAL TITANOSAUR is too broken and it should be nerfed

Theres a reason where theres a whole vid on how mid to large sized sauropods can't be balanced lmao, their just That good. Either their weak or untouchable in game

[runic rover]

You can solo them with SHOCK c-creature specialized to h-hunt sauropods?!

Blasphemy!!!

[light osprey]

More to the point they seem less adapted for areas of poor arboreal/wooded vegetation

[paper parcel]

Btw Mapusaurus was so specialized in hunting weakened args in packs that when argentinosaurus went extinct(before the meteor), they simply ceased to exist.

[runic rover]

I'm still baffled on what and how did the ceromanian-turonian did to selectively cut away Carcharodontosaurids and spinosaurids without cutting Abelisaurids and Sauropods, expecially Titanosaurids

[paper parcel]

Lizard people, idk

[runic rover]

Like literally there was no spinosaurids nor Carcharodontosaurids descendant after that extinction event

Not even one, not even small like idk a conca.

But there were Abelisaurids that surpassed that size. And yet they survived.

[paper parcel]

Logically carcharodontosaurids should've just kept getting bigger, most predators today, and even gorgonopsids use the shock method and are the most successful, the predator with the highest successrate that is also a reptile is the komodo dragon and, they also use bleed and a venom that induces more bleed.

Its basically one of the ideal hunting methods, or oneshotting via hydraulic press mouth.(or funny sharp stick or lead ball, that may or may not be tipped with poison)

https://tenor.com/view/giganotosaurus-gif-13780231142772180579

[undone rapids]

Oh the Abelisaurs and Megaraptorans just teamed up and ate the Carchs and Spinos

Also ate all the non-titanosaur sauropods cuz they felt like it

[little mauve]

I'm convinced sauropods were doing something crazy with their metabolisms that partly explains their success in arid environments and overall

[outer tusk]

yo what did I miss

[light osprey]

Eagerly await in hope of some revelations in future publications

[full lagoon]

My assumption is that it was probably a lot less like an actual desert than people think, probably still being quite lush.

Depictions of prehistoric environments there are covered in ferns and tall plants, which would have had to exist to support large herbivores.

[light osprey]

Eh it’s pretty arid, the paleosols indicate huge periods of sediment starvation in the basin ie. Presumably limited erosion, and stage IV petrocalcic horizon development. Fluvial deposition here is also coarse grain incised channels, very typical of dry climates.

[full lagoon]

Regardless, I think it's safe to assume there'd be tons more plant life than what exists today, even if it was comparatively arid compared to other areas.

[light osprey]

I don’t quite get the reasoning

[full lagoon]

First of all, large herbivore dinosaurs couldn't possibly sustain themselves otherwise, not to mention biological activity in general during the Mesozoic pales anything we see today.

[little mauve]

It's possible there were more hospitable areas nearby, within migration distance that is, and the sauropods were only seasonal visitors. Or there could have been periodic blooms of flora and they simply starved the rest of the year, relying on their mass and stores of fat or something to get them through

[charred hearth]

i have a question, is seaworld actually a good place or should i still not support it due to animal abuse / mistreatment? everyone be saying its hell but people be saying it changed so idk

[full lagoon]

Overall I probably wouldn't because it still primarily profits by exploiting said animals

[charred hearth]

i thought it was one of the best rehabilitation facility’s and rescue facility’s

[light osprey]

Well now you see the polemic, plants respond to local climatic conditions in the same way Mesozoic or Cenozoic, the hall lake depo-area is just not capable of being densely vegetated?

[full lagoon]

Something must be missing that explains the abundance of large dinosaurs then

[light osprey]

Such as… novel metabolic adaptations! Or seasonal presence!

[little mauve]

Is a monsoon detectable in the climate of Hall Lake

[full lagoon]

I would be surprised if metabolic adaptations alone could allow them to survive there if it's as lifeless as we are describing it

[little mauve]

it's not like alamosaurus is unusual here either, we find sauropods in arid and semiarid climates all the time. It's arguably their preferred habitat. That makes me think something physiological is going on

[full lagoon]

True, and most importantly I don't think arid necessarily means lifeless either

[little mauve]

no it doesn't mean lifeless but when you compare the largest mammalian desert herbivore with the largest desert sauropods it's an order of magnitude difference

and for animals that seem adapted towards browsing that confounds the issue even further, deserts as a rule generally don't have forests

[full lagoon]

I dunno, I still don't think it would have been a literal desert

[little mauve]

geologically that's what the evidence shows us. Let's say though that primary productivity was twice as high as it is today, I'll give you that and there's evidence to support that, the climate and conditions are still going to limit floras ability to prosper there especially megaflora

for various reasons you're still going to have a flora dominated by tough scrubby low to the ground things even if you have twice as much of it

[full lagoon]

Perhaps there was some sort of exception that allowed certain animals to survive there, seasonal or not. I know that some large plants can exist in certain more arid environments, but that obviously has no evidence here

[light osprey]

Given a westward position to the laramide orogeny, westerlies driven precipitation regimes are likely do dominate, so it would not be monsoon but nonetheless the lack of active sedimentation does not bode well for any periods of strong inundation of water.

[little mauve]

No relief in sight for our sauropod friends

[full lagoon]

Just means that there's something we are missing, particularly for tall sauropods like alamosaurus.

The smaller ones like dicraeosaurs still seem particularly well adapted to shorter foliage.

[little mauve]

yeah if I was designing a permanent desert dwelling sauropod it would be some kind of short necked dicraeosaur, small bodied, etc

[light osprey]

Oddly enough there’s something somewhat similar, a little less extreme but the Willow Creek formation of southern Alberta shows caliche formation in the soil, more ephemeral sort of fluvial action, but Triceratops horridus and apparently based on eggshells, Hadrosaurs, Thescelosaurs, and Leptoceratopsids nonetheless lived

[little mauve]

very interesting

[full lagoon]

Perhaps there are other factors that are supporting the animals here that have not been fully realized or uncovered

[thorn grove]

this is because Ornithischians were cold blooded of course

[light osprey]

One thing I have found is that dinosaurs unknown to most show a novel adaptation to nesting in alluvial fans in less productive climates, so they’re capable of brooding and adapting in new and unpredictable ways to these regimes

[full lagoon]

Definitely seems like it could have been season or event based then

[light osprey]

A testament to ingenuity as well, I couldn’t have predicted an animal could exploit such a feature but it all makes sense with these being the sources of highest water activity in dry climates

[full lagoon]

Animals are often a lot more resourceful and intelligent than we may realize for sure

[stiff osprey]

What evidence do we have that primary productivity in the Mesozoic was higher than today?

other than human-based devastation of modern ecosystems I mean

[full lagoon]

From the top of my head, the massive fossil evidence of plants and animals that rival other eras. Even a good chunk of fossil fuel material comes from the Mesozoic.

[undone rapids]

Reptiles > Mammals, that's the evidence. No, I'm not Biased at all

[stiff osprey]

Rivals does not mean exceeds, and idk if mesozoic plant fossils are any more common than Cenozoic ones

[full lagoon]

I wanted to say rivals to be more conservative, but it was definitely at a different level than other time periods

[light osprey]

I’ve had a cursory glance at some floral sites from the Neogene, the diversity and abundance seems to be about the same as Mesozoic sites I read on, the difference being the amount of plants which are recognisable today.

[fluid inlet]

This gonna be so good

[full lagoon]

Is the dinosaur you posted above from that?

[fluid inlet]

Morgan Freeman 🐐

[stiff osprey]

Also in regards to desert alamosaurs, they might not have been high browsers. Alamosaurus is a species complex, most of which are saltasaurids, a group that often evolves low browsing or grazing forms

[full lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-true-morgan-freeman-true-nodding-gif-13973817878387504960

[full lagoon]

If that's the case, perhaps it was more for stationary reach than height and they just cleared out shrubs?

It would make sense given the size differential between other species, which just use less energy overall

[runic heart]

Sauropods in the snow? Cool. Still got elephant skin, but eh that’ll be a hard trope to break.

[light osprey]

I wonder where they got the inspiration from, which fossil formation it could be based on

[full lagoon]

Being that snowy screams some kind of northern Cretaceous formation to me. I wouldn't see snow being common in the Jurassic

[runic heart]

E. D. Tron

[wind prairie]

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be Yixian

[full lagoon]

Oh interesting

[scenic flame]

I will point out that in regards to your point about oil and coal, that comes from tens or hundreds of millions of years of build up, compared to the immediacy of today

[full lagoon]

That's fair, but isn't it pretty high in contrast to other ancient time periods? Save for the one that's literally named after said materials.

[light osprey]

Would be an ambitious interpretation of Yixian’s climate, but to speculate about the other environments not really recording deposition where animals could venture is plausible.

[full lagoon]

I'm not really expecting hard accuracy anyways. I'd be pretty surprised if they even thought about that aspect

[fluid inlet]

I’ve seen this guy a couple of his post good troll account lol

also I have have no idea what this is supposed to be, one of the tags do say Carnotaurus though.

[ionic linden]

That's one strong dinosaur

[ashen nacelle]

this would probably be even more terrifying to see than the Carnotaurus.

So a Barosaurus specimen was described that has a preserved end tail vertebra, with potential irrigation for soft tissue extensions so I gave it a rattle or sort of wind chime thing to make warning sounds to scare predators AND send her young into hiding if danger shows up :B

I mean there has been a sauropod with a club tail sooo not impossible.

[full lagoon]

Imagine if it was like an attachment for horn-like spines or something as well

[tough parcel]

Yea no what, this makes no sense

A club is decades more simple than whatever that is

[full lagoon]

It just looks like keratin tubes that would collide to make noise

[ashen nacelle]

also found this... Its supposed to be a Lophorhothon.

[ionic linden]

Looks strange to say thr least

[tough parcel]

And this is a common thing to find in the animal kingdom?

[full lagoon]

I'm not defending the accuracy of the art, but it wouldn't be impossible, and we've seen exceedingly bizarre, one of a kind adaptations in nature before.

[tough parcel]

I'm not even aware of what the "potential irrigation" even means!

[full lagoon]

In all likelihood it didn't exist and it's just fun speculation, nobody is saying it's real

[full lagoon]

If I'm interpreting correctly, it's implying attachment points for dermal structures akin to spines/horns?

[tough parcel]

Here's the paper
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-026-02068-5
econdly, the internal soft tissue surrounding this part of the axial column is unknown in sauropods (Conti et al. 2022), such that we cannot rule out possible protective layering strengthening the ‘whip’ from breaking. In addition, a soft tissue structure protruding posteriorly from the last caudal vertebra could have been present, such as a ‘popper’ (Conti et al. 2022), albeit that there is no evidence from the fossil record for the presence of such a structure. This popper, or an equivalent structure, could have been used to strike instead, such that the caudal vertebrae are less at risk from breakage. Given the limitations of a single specimen, this fracture cannot be used to distinguish between inter- or intraspecific combat, accidental trauma, or other causes. As such, the pathology is neither evidence in favor nor against the hypothesis that flagellicaudatan ‘whips’ were used in combat. We do not rule out any other etiologies.

[full lagoon]

It would be so badass if it actually was a whip reinforcement

[outer tusk]

If am gonna be 100% this doesn't even look like a good fake spec evo

[orchid lynx]

most experts say its real, anyways i argue with an Bigfoot enthusiast why we never find bones? he said the other bigfoots coolect the bones to a secret place

[orchid lynx]

so its real in youre mind?

[full lagoon]

The opposite dude

[outer tusk]

no

[orchid lynx]

why most primate scientist say the movement is correct and we didnt have costumes like that in the 60s, also Ai say its real

[queen oar]

Me when bait used to be believable.

[full lagoon]

He was talking about the dinosaur, not Bigfoot. (Idek where Bigfoot came from in this discussion)

[orchid lynx]

so you bigfoot is alive?

[full lagoon]

Can you is are not the speak?

[orchid lynx]

im tired i speak several languages bruh xd

[tough parcel]

I think the most interesting counterargument to "Erm, where are the bodies" is that it does seem to be incredibly difficult to find carcasses of common and known species in the woods

So assuming Bigfoot is real to some degree and (potentially) going extinct, the idea of not finding their corpses isn't as big of a "Gotcha" as people think

[full lagoon]

If Bigfoot is real they are going to die off before we actually discover them most likely

[orchid lynx]

Why i mostly believe is because Native Americans knew them they called them Sasquatch had even wall carvings soo yes maybe they lifed in America but these times are over

[queen oar]

I mean yeah, but the difference is that, you have years where people find carcasses of common and known species in the woods. And for Bigfoot there's like, nothing?

[tough parcel]

Never said it was bulletproof, just that it's not as simple as what it is made out to be

Assuming it to be a cryptic species in life combined with heavily declining population = no corpses for humans to find

It's like jumping into Africa and assuming you'll find an ape corpse

[full lagoon]

If real they're obviously not very common at all so it's not that out of the question

[orchid lynx]

Maybe they adapt and are the most intelligent primate after us

[queen oar]

Truly, and Non-Avian Dinosaurs are still alive today, and they look like the ones in Jurassic Park ( For no reason )

[tough parcel]

Is Bigfoot 100% real? Eh probably not, the legends from Native Americans might just be an extension of the wildman mythos that plagues humanity as a whole

Is it possible? I don't particularly see the harm in believing such

[orchid lynx]

ive seen a pitch black lizard in a tub he looked soo dinosaur like he swam even like megalania

[queen oar]

I stay correct.

[orchid lynx]

we knew its Gigantopiticus (i want him in path so much)

[full lagoon]

It's definitely among the more believable cryptids

[orchid lynx]

youre right gigantipithecus wasnt even found in america lol

[stiff osprey]

Trey has a pretty good video about how 95% of the "native american bigfoot legends" are like. Definitely not bigfoots

[tough parcel]

I've seen skepticism of Trey's video being overly skeptical (attributing certain things that were a bit more of a stretch than need be)

[orchid lynx]

does t rex have a chance vs gigantopithecus?

[queen oar]

Reminds me of the " Moose with five legs " rumors that people say that native americans said it

[stiff osprey]

I wouldn't know, but he def did more research on the topic than any bigfoot believer

[tough parcel]

I only mention it because the person expressing criticism is quite literally writing a paper on the subject iirc

I believe their conclusion is the same but Trey's was too much of a reduction of mythos

more than their paleo videos.

Spino probably didn't go deeper than like 20-30 meters, since it had to kick up to breathe

[stiff osprey]

Low. It would have higher chances of being alive in Australia, except we know it went extinct there way longer ago

[ashen wedge]

[stiff osprey]

Also no, mammoths did not survive up to the time of Google Earth somewhere in Canada. I could see them surviving up to like, a few hundred years ago when we hadn't explored and documented those areas, but not anymore

[ashen wedge]

I think that’s an overestimation…. Since the last mammoths were a few thousand years ago on an island and a bit inbred if I remembered correctly

[stiff osprey]

No yeah I don't think they survived that long realistically. I'm saying it's possible they were around in like the 1600s, but it would be impossible to find one alive today

the most likely answer is they disappeared, at most, a few hundred years after the last recorded fossil

It is african

The interpretation of it being a sauropod is also a western conspiracy theory. Europeans paid the locals to say "yep that's the guy right there" when pointed to pictures of sauropods

Which tracks when you consider that mokele is typically shown being aquatic, elephant-skinned and dragging its tail, not at all like a real sauropod but much like the 1900s idea of a sauropod

Granted, I believe that cryptid’s are fun to believe in, but you have to acknowledge that they aren’t real due to lack of evidence in the fields of modern media

was THE ALLOSAURUS the largest therapod in each of its formations?

[polar rain]

I uninstalled pot for space on my phone, I wonder after the remov of 1gb of ram it's actually better to play on now

[polar rain]

No, in my country, portugal, in the Lourinhã formation, torvosaurus is larger than allosaurus europaeus AND fragilis, and allosauris europaeus is around the size of ceratosaurus tbh

Shsssh, don't mention the name of a FRAUD infront of the goat

[queen oar]

the biggest fraud ever.

[charred hearth]

arent they around the same size now or is that just in morrison

[polar rain]

Like, I have a nintendo switch but I don't think I'd want to use money on this game twice, so mobile is kinda my only option for now

[queen oar]

Btw, is that the same guy that made the " Carcharodontosaur Saurophaganax " skull? I can sorta of tell

[outer tusk]

if you assume MB R 3627 is a allosaurus species then lmao

[outer tusk]

yes

[queen oar]

This ugly bastard hasn't gotten beautiful even after all that time. Still wonder where that f*cka#s dentary comes from.

[queen oar]

So, it was made up. I see. Did thought I saw it in a Bone Wars era publication one time, but I never found it again

[polar rain]

Ngl I always thought that people who thought saurophaganax was its own species of allosaurid sounded stupid and Im so glad Im right lol

[outer tusk]

not really

[polar rain]

Seriously saurophaganax fans are annoying af, you couldn't introduce any piece of dinosaur media without someone asking "where's saurophaganax" 🫩

[queen oar]

How so?

[outer tusk]

Because it's made up of relatives based on their skull material

[queen oar]

ah, sorry. It's a " Potential Man " then

[queen oar]

still betting on it being lumped onto Allosaurus fragilis forever.

[ancient crystal]

You might say, the allosaurus keeps on the path of titans?

How would path of titans play if the dino stats were realistic?

[native kindle]

awfully. every playable besides maybe 10 wouldn't be able to move around the maps
which is more important for a fun game than annoyingly busted and lopsided stats

[charred hearth]

rex would be the best terrestorial creature and you'd only be safe if you were a semi aquatic or small tier 3 and below

[paper parcel]

nah

[native kindle]

you can't just ask a question and then say "no" when someone brings up a good point lol
