I took this bad screenshot from a tv series called stranger things s03e01, its a vintage (80s) dino book, this dino could be diplodocus, brachiosaurus or brontosaurus, I've already checked Dinotopia, The how and why wonder book of dinosaurs and found nothing similar.

It's difficult to say from such a low res image - I can't even satisfy myself it's a book, more like loose pages. It could possibly just be a prop made for the show?

It definitely has the look of a How And Why Wonder Book, however it isn't Dinosaurs or Extinct Animals. I think the animal is a plesiosaur rather than a sauropod dinosaur, so maybe it is a more general Ocean life one?

If that is indeed a plesiosaur, there's a chance this might also be from a book about mythical creatures and cryptids, with the creature seen on the page being the Loch Ness Monster or some other local sea monster variant.

Thank you for your return, I don't think it is a prop, the pages side of this animal is from a book called The Duel of the Masters, and the designers of the series haven't posted this on their portfolio, just all the other props

That seems likely given the nature of the show.

I wonder if any context is given in the scene where it features?

This season is based in 1985, I truly think its a dinosaur, since the Dustin (this bedroom belongs to this character) is a big fan of dinosaurs and has a lot of toys in his room

If anyone still have reddit, could please post in r/tipofmytongue? When I was active there, the community is so good to solve these type of questions
