Description
The Hell Creek formation of Montana is one of the most studied and well known dinosaur bearing formations in the world.*note Anzu is scaled up to the size of a 86cm tibia.
some of the color schemes and patterns are based on the Saurian team's designs
Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the skeletal references used as bases for the silhouettes I make.
-7/20/16- updated various silhouettes

Well you see, I noticed that the trex in your picture and the saurian game has something that looks kind of like cheeks in a way, but I don't think are true cheeks like a Hadrosaur. Is there a scientific basis for that or just pure speculation? I'd like to know.

I understand that for raptors and troodons but not tyrannosaurus.

I just dont understand it. I understand the bird corner reasoning for raptors but from what I can tell, tyrannosaurs split off long before the ancestor of birds and raptors.

and dinosaurs split off long before the ancestors of tyrannosaurs and maniraptors

Touche, but either way, I still dont understand it.

Hellos? Is anyone there?

Have the found new evidence that their were feathers at the low stomach region and the tops sections of the legs.
I also also assumed that the feathers would trail a little further down the tail but that's just my own speculation

old rex, I'm making refining my new one at the moment

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE
THAT ANKYLOSAURUS WAS SMALLER THAN TRICERATOPS

You forgot the troodon, and theirs no way a T.rex had that much feathers.

feathers work differently from fur.
Feathers, combined with the large naked areas on it's tail, feet and head can keep it also cool.
A common example: emus and kangaroos: both are roughly the same size, and both warm-blooded, difference: one has feathers, one has fur.
The kangaroo must seek cover during the hottest part of the day, while the emu can still run a marathon in that heat.
Also, we have phylogenetic evidence, and a patch of T.rex skin showing ''plucked'' skin, like you see when bird feathers decay and the skin gets preserved.
so it was fluffy.

you mean pectinodon.
which is on the chart

No Troodon are little raptors.

either your trolling, or you don't know what a troodon is
here's scott hartman's troodon skeletal: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
and to compare:
his velociraptor: static.squarespace.com/static/…
you can see the differences right?
----
the Alaskan troodon was about the same size as the pectinodon shown. and acheroraptor is the size of a large velociraptor
here's my latest hell creek chart. if you want a better rendition of a troodon, look no further than the pectinodon in that

I know a troodon looks like and it's found in the creek.

pectinodon bakeri is troodon bakeri
(also they are not dromaeosaurs/raptors)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then why do they have curved claws on their feet like raptors?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
they both branched off in eumaniraptora; in which the raised toe was a basal trait.
so, the did not decend from raptors, rather they decended from a common ancestor

No Troodon is a species of cat. They descend from the ancient catonodonts.

By the way - what ever happened to Sphaerotholus? Even if it is a synonym of Prenocephale, that just wouldn't make sense - Prenocephale is from Asia.

I just haven't added him in yet
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. BTW, is Sphearotholus going to be in Hell Creek?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What happened to the Triceratops? Why is it so big now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I straghtened out the tail and edited the neck bulk. it has been this size for a while

Hell Creek is so famous, and this chart is so good that I now think they must all get a common name.
I'll start: Anatosaurus = beaked land-whale

why did you make leptoceratops so chubby around the neck? I've never seen it depicted like that before. What is the design based on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMFG the triceratops had too much dank weed

oh he's high alright.....

New studies suggest Triceratops was able to fly via concentrated blasts of flatulence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that my friend is no triceratops, it is an agathumas.... a synonym of triceratops. thus it is a triceratops.
it is floating because I wanted to see everyone's reactions, and the chart is in need of an update

What about Sphaerotholus? I can see why you excluded the Therizeinosaur, but Sphaerotholus has direct fossil evidence from Hell Creek. Nice chart by the way.

I'm gona remake spearotholus, and include t when I add the new T. rex and remove the floating trike
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
we've got a floating trike, i repeat, we've got a floating trike!!!!

Where did T. horridus and Torosaurus go?
