Lucky Find

A Tyrannosaurus finds the recently deceased body of an Edmontosaurus slumped into a creek in the forest. Around them are a softshell turtle, a salamander, a dragonfly, an enantiornithine bird and two small arboreal mammals fighting each other.

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s mummified hadrosaur—one of the most complete pieces of Mesozoic dinosaur remains ever found! This fossil represents one of the greatest discoveries in the history of paleontology: a rare glimpse at the texture of dinosaur skin. Like the skin on modern birds’ feet, this duck-billed dinosaur’s skin was marked by bumps called tubercles. The tubercles are larger along the animal’s back and sides and smaller around the joints, which needed to be flexible.

And here it is, my newest addition to the "valid to eat body parts" series. Showing extinct animals starring at you in an uncomfortable way.

It's Edmontosaurus this time, based on new observations made by Henry Sharpe on the orbits of this hadrosaur.

today is international dinosaur day. hello, i am a dinosaur. here are some dinosaurs i’ve painted. 

Hello Everyone, If you guys don't know me. My name is Johann, and I make 3d art of Dinosaurs

Edmond, the Edmontosaurus mummy.

my partner and i have been arguing for the past 10 mins about how we know what dinosaurs looked like. they specifically have a problem with hadrosaurs and whenever i show them an up-to-date paleoart reconstruction of a hadrosaur (edmontosaurus and anatotitan were the big two) they just go ''they did NOT look like that. there's no way to know they looked like that.'' do u have any ideas how to explain the science behind reconstruction of extinct animals based on fossils? bc i'm at a loss lol

so we have tons of hadrosaur mummies, actually. so that's how for that one

other than that, we can extrapolate based on living animals. muscles scar the bones, so those are easy. organs typically go in similar places. and skin and feather impressions are helpful in many cases

but edmontosaurus straight up has a mummy, so we know exactly what it looked like

Edmontosaurus, Ely Kish

The smell of a swamp is rich and thick. It hangs in the air like the morning mists, but lingers far longer than any fog. Edmontosaurus loves the smell. It smells like home. She wades deep through the soup, scooping up fallen vegetation, letting the water pour from her bill. The sound of the little splashes is so satisfying. Once a snail was in a mouthful of weeds, but its shell crunching in her mouth didn't even startle her—that's how pleased she is in the bogs. When the sun is high and bakes the swamp, she rests in the shade of the taller trees, shakes gnats from her hide, and dozes to the songs of birds and small pterosaurs. When evening comes she always manages to find her herd in the drier places and sleeps in their company. But when the sky lightens before dawn, she moseys off to enjoy the swamps alone again.
