Now THIS is the greatest show on earth!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for – I present the amazing Barnum Brown and his ferocious T-Rex. Barnum was born in 1873 in Kansas and was named after famous Circus owner P.T. Barnum. 1890 he stated studying Paleontology at the University of Kansas but then preferred to go into field work right away. In the 1890s he collected fossils for the American Museum of Natural History in Wyoming and Montana (Hell-Creek Formation). Then he went to Alberta and excavated at Drumheller where at the time also the Sternbergs worked.
Later he was Co-Director of the AMNH together with Henry F. Osborn and as such helped founding the Dinosaur Collection in 1910.
Barnum is to this day one of the most famous Dinosaur Hunters and has shaped the Knowledge about the Cretaceous Dinosaurs of North America. Best known is he of course for the Discovery he made at Hell Creek in 1902, a partial Skeleton of the most famous Dinosaur of all time – Tyrannosaurus Rex. And even though older specimens could later be assigned to this Dinosaur (Manospondylus, Dynamosaurus) Osborn selected T-Rex to be its valid name in 1906.
Now I don’t think I have to introduce the King of Dinosaurs in any way. For the colors I used a reconstruction at the Natural History Museum at Vienna as a model. And for the question whether T-Rex was feathered I went the middle route and gave him some fuzzy little feathers on his arms, back and neck! Hope you like it!

Dude certainly went into a more respectable profession than his namesake.
Got balls to pull of that sort of stunt. Ignoring all other things wouldn't he be like six or more meters off the ground?

Oh yes that for sure!
I guess so... quite the stunt indeed

What do you think would’ve been Barnum’s reaction to Jurassic Park’s take on the Tyrant King? Love the artwork by the way!

I’m sure you’ve heard of this conversation he had with Walt Disney himself:
Disney: “So what do you think?”
Brown: “Well, we’re pretty sure that T-Rex only had two fingers on his hand.”
Disney: “Yeah, but look how much better they look with the three!”
Walt may have been a great filmmaker, but he clearly wasn’t a very good dino expert.

Love this one-his mom named him after PT Barnum, after all. He wasn't quite as flashy as Osborn or Andrews (Ooh, do him next!) but certainly colorful.

Is there any real evidence that says T-rex had feathers?

Pelycosaur24 In reply to JPGuchiha [2017-12-08 22:45:47 +0000 UTC]
There is evidence that suggest that several close relatives of T-rex had feathers (like Yutyrannus) so it can be assumed that T-Rex had feathers at least to some extend

Could you link me to a per-reviewed paper that proves that their relatives had feathers? Also just because their relatives had feathers doesn't mean that they themselves had feathers.

It’s still mostly a theory that dinosaurs had feathers. While some such as types of dromaeosaurid theropods most likely did. Others such as sauropods and thyreophoran had fete little bird like features. Some like ceratopsid and hadrosaurid had bird like mouths. I personally am undecided on the matter.

We actually have fossilized remains of feathers found on microraptors.

A predator's a predator, and no amount of training can ever change that.

Not an actual duck, but also not an actual goose. It is called muscovy duck because it looks more like a very big duck, even tough it does not quack.

Very nice!
Just a reminder: Dinosaurs can pronate their wrists. Other than that, epic work!

HUBLERDON In reply to masterchiefsenpai [2016-06-16 20:02:02 +0000 UTC]
Oh wait, yeah. Sorry. That's I what I meant, they CANT pronate. They could only supinate, like modern birds.

Its the bony structure often seen above the eyes, it just may come of a little strange because I gave it a different color
