Originating approximately 250 million years ago, the Archosauria ("Ruling Reptiles") became one of the most diverse and successful clades of vertebrates on earth. However, many of the amazing creatures that are a part of that diversity are often overshadowed by the poster children of the archosaurs - the dinosaurs. This blog looks at those often forgotten archosaurs, focusing especially on the croc-line, but occasionally looking at the bird-line and even outside of crown-group Archosauria.

What's scarier than a rauisuchian?
So, how do you celebrate Halloween? This is my pumpkin from last year - an attempt at Postosuchus. I'd say I did a pretty good job, considering I was working with a pumpkin. Some of the teeth may be a little off, but I think I got all of the fenestrae right. I'm thinking I might have to do Poposaurus this year, but I'm open to suggestions.

ReplyDeleteYou need to go find the skull first, it's currently unknown ;).
Ya know, I knew that in the back of my head, but I had a weird thought process going about the Chinle...
ReplyDeleteI will get to work finding that skull ASAP ;-)
Triassic Park!
ReplyDeleteY'know...I've got to try that. As for suggestions, How about Armadillosuchus? Or maybe Sereno's "boar-croc"?
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteYou can always do a shuvosaurid if you don't want to bother with all the teeth...
Hope all is well! My blog URL has changed, its http://paleogary.blogspot.com/ The old blog was just a place holder for the Project Dryptosaurus website which is now at www.njdino.com. Look forward to more awesome posts! Love your blog. My paleogary blog is just a personal blog, but I will update it when I can.
