PaleoArt #4

As you might have noticed this blog has been on hiatus for a while. It all started from week long intensive course on skeletal anatomy and more recently I have been occupied by sediments. Luckily I have escaped the dungeons of sediment laboratory to bring you teh ultimate Tianyulong confuciusi skeletal.

that is awesome!

so were you blown away by the discovery of this guy? or did the psittacosaur prepare you for this...

Ville Sinkkonen kirjoitti...

Ofcourse I was blown away. :D

I really can't understand the reactions like "I'm not all that suprised".

Are you freaking kidding me!?

Oh yea, early cretaceous Heterodontosaur with protofeathers...pfff...I was so expecting that.

LOL

well i'll admit i was quite excited by the find (other than 3D feathers are hard LOL so that makes my life more time consuming...), but i wasn't quite blown away.

if they'd had real theropod/bird type feathers yes total blow out of the water moment, but it is turning out to be structures quite similar to the psittacosaur's and not true feathers. so i was more thrilled i'd say... if you know what i mean

love the skeletal drawing again.

Holy crap, Ville! Would you mind if I used that skeletal to base my life reconstruction on? The only good heterodontosaur skeletal I can ever find is that old hunched-over Heterodontosaurus from various non-academic sources.

Ofcourse you can use it Zach. :)

Very cool -- I might have to use it as a reference myself....
