Description
Inspired by , , and Brian Engh, I had made a chart showing four main types of sauropods in the morrison formation. When there is multiple similar family groups all competing in one area, they would most likely be very colorful in real life to make the problem a bit easier. Also, I added descriptions describing their possible niches they would take in their environmentΒRelated content

Were Apatosaurus and Diplodocus present here as well?

Yes but I used brontosaurus and supersaurus instead since they are in the animalβs family group when I drew it at the time

Wow, awesome drawing! I love how you give the dinosaurs these really vibrant sand modern colors!

no I have a hypothesis for how ceratosaurus survived;
it lived in the woods and hunted the creatures there, while leaving the others to eaten by allosaurus and torvosaurus

Very good hypothesis. There are some theories that ceratosaurus even hunted near water and ate fish to avoid competition with the bigger predators of the morrison

haodrinundu hypothesised they were venomous which also made sense as they had long teeth..
But I solved the mystery!Β Β Β

Oh, Brachiosaurus lived in drier areas I thought it would prefer the edge of the forests. That would explain why their fossils are so uncommon...Β

Brachiosaurus was probably a migratory animal so I added a way where it would go in drier areas, but also look like it can belong in forests on occasionsΒ

well, I thing we are both correct. It could be migrating from one forest area to another.

It very well could since brachiosaurus is one of the biggest sauropods in the morrison formation and that it would need to travel vast distances to get to large towering trees.Β

Supersaurus also has special ability of standing on river

As long the sauropod isn't chest deep, it will do fine crossing rivers and other bodies of water.

You missed the joke, he was referring to how there's a river drawn under the Supersaurus's feet in the picture but it isn't affecting it at all.
Great chart, by the way!

I get it now lol,Β thank you very much!

Well, it isn't called SUPERsaurus for nothing!Β
Comedy jokes aside, I really like this work. Really aids in actually bringing these animals to life a little more. Plus, the colors are amazing! Great job!

Thank you very much

That is covered with supersaurus. I didnβt want to do every diplodocid in the Morrison so I used one diplodocid for a general idea of the pattern that the class of sauropods would have.

but ampihcoelilasas needs to be here
π: 0 β©: 1
Amphicoelias is a bit difficult to reconstruct because we only have one vertebrae and a supposable femur and determining the exact size and appearance of this sauropod requires a lot of analysis and research. I can try doing this sauropod if you wantΒ

Good job, very well done.
Morrison sauropods never fail to grab my attention. Is the Brachiosaurus' neck feathered or is that just the pattern?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you, the brachiosaurus' neck has quills similar to that of psittacosaurus for speculationΒ

Very interesting concept. Seems believable.

i love how you did the colouring and patterns and explained why it works
