Happy Early Birthday, Sir.
I really do enjoy your ID picture in this; t hat comic is hilarious in my eyes!
Sincerely one of your hopefully entirely too many fans;
Adalack.

Why were herrerasaurids like Herrerasaurus and Gnathovorax so huge?

It says here that there is an undescribed crocodylomorph found from the Tiaojishan formation, I really hope that it is a goniopholidid crocodyliform

I love goniopholidid crocodyliforms

If You were to do a reimagining of Walking With Dinosaurs, how would you do it?

Yay paleosir , i have a question for you: what size you would attribute as a middle size for a theropod femur: 50 cm? 60 cm? 80? Because 1 m is a large one (Animal con femur of 1 m is around the tonne) Comment and i explain you to what boi is refered.
Also if the femur has the fourth trochanter placed above the midpoint says something to you? In terms of relationships
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mid sized is such a vague term, it could conceivably refer to theropods as large as Deinonychus (so in the 30 cm region) to maybe sometimes things as large as typical Allosaurus with a ~90 cm femur, though more generally those are seen as large. I would think mid sized can be anything between as large as a dog and the size of a small rhinoceros in this case so that's not useful.
I think most theropods have the trochanter above the midpoint.

Thank you, it is about a Toarcian Femur from Whitby UK. There are 2 Toarcian Theropod remains on UK, this and a vertebra of 87 mm. Both are on the Whitby coll. There are various rumors about the femur, but it´s tru size isn´t clear: runs from 65 to 91 cm, so that´s why i asked.

Thanks.
Yeah, paleontologists generally compare the features of fossilized remains and compare them to a wide range of other species to see which it would most likely be closely related to. This is especially true for Megalosaurus, because it used to be the case that palaeontologists would just classify most theropod dinosaur fossils as Megalosaurus, and later palaeontologists then reclassified them.

Ey paleosir i lost the Link to your Yunyangosaurus over the Mashosasurus skeleton, can you provide access to it again? Because it's highly probably that Yunyangosaurus is the first theropod to match with the Toarcian theropod Vertebra from northern Germany.

sure
Can you give me a source for those vertebrae or measurements? Scaling them could be interesting.

80 mm Acording to Mortimer (5 m long for the Animal) . Material is considered a Dorsal Centrum, but matches with the last dorsal of Yunyangosaurus.

The longest dorsal vertebra preserved in Yunyangosaurus is ~63 mm, so an 80 mm vertebra scaled from that would be larger. My Yunyangosaurus is around 5.7 m long, so that 80 mmvertebra would yield a total length of ~7.2 m.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. That´s serious. Well, if you check Mortimer it clearly says 80 mm. That´s a medium brute.
a) What´s the size of Marshosaurus dorsals?
b) Can you try to scale up it? It would help more
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
this is roughly how large it is if we scale it from the posteriormost Yunyangosaurus dorsal

I don't have the marshosaurus measurements at hand

Ouch, that thing is no joke. I would have to look it deeper. Thank you! It is curious that this, Emausaurus and 2 Gravisaurians belong to and extension of the Ciechocinek Formation That has a well preserved seashore environments on the Polish Margin.
If your are curious, the are stated as part of the Formation here: Mönnig E, Franz M, Schweigert G. 2018. Der Jura in der Stratigraphischen Tabelle von Deutschland (STD 2016)/The stratigraphic chart of Germany (STD 2016): jurassic. ZDGG. 169:225–246.
The Ciechocinek Formation is explained Here: Hesselbo, S. P., & Pieńkowski, G. (2011). Stepwise atmospheric carbon-isotope excursion during the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (Early Jurassic, Polish Basin). Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 301(1-2), 365-372.
There is a ton of articles of that Formation: about periodical fires, the oldest preserved biomolecules know, Massive presence of Fungus, etc. There are Footprints to be described: Kayentapus, Megalosauripus, Anchisauripus, Moyenisauropus, Parabrontopodus and Brontopodus.
If you want any, ask and i provide.

That's very interesting. I might ask some things later if I want to look deeper into it.

Ok. Last question: have you tried to use Piatnizkysaurus as base reference? Maybe should be better, since is less specialized than Marshosaurus
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't because there isn't a good Piatnizkysaurus skeletal. I could perhaps try to adapt Hartman's Marshosaurus to Piatnizkysaurus but probably won't have the motivation to do that.
How is it less specialized than Marshosaurus?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
More basal in most phylogenetic studies. Altrought not all agree.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Doesn't really say much, since piatnizkysauridae is 3 taxa generally it only means Piatnizkysaurus groups closer with Condorraptor than it does with Marshosaurus, which makes perfect sense considering they are from the same formation.

doesn't matter really, you can always ask me anything here on DA

Was Doedicurus clavicaudatus the only Glyptodont with a club tail?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess not but I don't know much about glyptodonts so you can look it up.
