Devil horned stem-archosaur from India: Shringasaurus indicus

[ImADinosaurRARR]

Nature artical (open sorce) : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-08658-8

I haven't even read the artical yet. I just saw it and was like "yep... this is the greatest thing in the world right now"

[Reptilia]

Well, looks like an interesting creature indeed.

Anyone else thinking of the 60s version of The Lost World now?

I've seen Therizinosaurus, I've seen Deinocheirus, I've seen Yi qi... but that thing's just weird.

Anyone else think the dorsal verts in the skeletal restoration are suspiciously straight?

Cityraptor: you're right. The horns are practically the same shape and position as the ones glued to different iguanas and monitors!

[Mononykus]

That is definitely a cool creature! And its pretty complete (mostly just missing the feet)


Now we just need a model of it.

Yeah that's just a bad skeletal. The posture is out of whack all over the place.

I came here to post this

Who will be first to make a toy version? I might have said Bullyland if they still made the cool Triassic stuff.

[Reptilia]

First toy version of this creature? I would bet on Rebor, the thing looks enough distinctive and potentially very awesomebro.

[Silvanusaurus]

We just need some wings on this bad boy and then we're really cooking.

[Faelrin]

I like it. Although I must state the obvious in how it reminds me of Carnotaurus and ceratopsians a bit.

[ZoPteryx]

Now that is one crazy looking critter!    I really wish we had a field guide type book to these diverse and obscure archosauromorphs/formes.
