Bully Mastodonsaurus

[Megalosaurus]

Nice paint scheme.

Personally I highly doubt what was metioned in a lot of posts before, that the front teeth stuck through the upper jaw completly. While the skull indeed boast opening sockets for the uncommonly large front teeth, there's hardly to find an evolotionary intended example in recent animals where teeth struck through a bone in such a way, basically creating two more independent openings to the inner mouth. It is way more likely that these sockets were covered by cartilage tissue or keratin fiber or such, greating some bulking muzzle.

You may be right. I haven't questioned the reconstructions of this animal:

Sorry for the wrong data in this image, I just looked for a museum reconstruction.

But you know, you give some light on it. Thank you.

The first one (the red and black) reminds me of a modern-day Tylototriton. I LOVE the chicken frog one too. I've always believed the best paint jobs for prehistoric or fantasy animals are ones that are taken from real-life critters.

I am not sure about the Mastodonsaurus, but the picture you linked looks, as if Bullyland sculpted their Mastodonsaurus with that particular model as pattern (as they did for their museum specific sculpts as Arizonasaurus and the likes).

This old reconstruction by Z. Burian may not be very accurate (when it comes to the visible teeth and perching in an terrestrial environment with that bulk of a body), but I guess the upper muzzle comes more close to the real animal, then the Bullyland version. However, that figure is missing in my collection and I'd really appreciate to add one some time
