Collection of Splonkadumpocus

[Splonkadumpocus]

Late Jurassic Africa
Rhamphorhynchus (Timmee)
Afrovenator (CollectA)
Jobaria (CollectA)
Giraffatitan (Carnegie)
Kentrosaurus (Wild Safari)

Some material referred to Rhamphorhynchus has been discovered in Africa. I moved him here because Europe was getting kind of crowded.
Also, the Tiouaren Formation (where Afrovenator and Jobaria were discovered) is currently thought to be mid-late Jurassic rather than Early Cretaceous as previously thought.

Nice collection

[Splonkadumpocus]

Thanks



Late Jurassic North America
Ceratosaurus (Wild Safari)
Allosaurus (Favorite)
Apatosaurus (Carnegie)
Diplodocus (Carnegie)
Camarasaurus (Carnegie)
Brachiosaurus (Carnegie)
Stegosaurus (Wild Safari)
Dryosaurus (Unknown)
Camptosaurus (CollectA)

This is by far the largest subset of my collection, both in number and total "biomass." The Morrison sure had a lot of sauropods.

(Late Cretaceous North America has more animals than this, but I'm splitting that one into five different scenes due to overcrowding)

[Splonkadumpocus]

Early Cretaceous Europe
Ornithocheirus (CollectA)
Baryonyx (Carnegie)
Concavenator (Carnegie)
Eotyrannus (CollectA)
Polacanthus (CollectA)
Iguanodon (Carnegie)

[Splonkadumpocus]

Early Cretaceous Asia
Dilong (Carnegie)
Beipiaosaurus (Carnegie)
Caudipteryx (Feathered Dinosaurs Toob)
Sinornithosaurus (Feathered Dinosaurs Toob)
Microraptor (Feathered Dinosaurs Toob)
Psittacosaurus (CollectA)

I've attempted to keep these at a consistent 1/10 scale.

[Splonkadumpocus]

Early Cretaceous North America
Acrocanthosaurus (Wild Safari)
Utahraptor (Wild Safari)
Deinonychus (Favorite)
Sauropelta (Schleich)
Nodosaurus (Unknown)
Tenontosaurus (CollectA)

That Utahraptor is currently my only featherless maniraptoran. I'm definitely putting the CollectA one on my wishlist.

Also, the Nodosaurus originally had a set of carnivorous Chinasaur teeth, which I've filed down to more reasonable standards.

[Splonkadumpocus]

Early Cretaceous Australia
Kronosaurus (Carnegie)
Australovenator (CollectA)
Minmi (CollectA)
Muttaburrasaurus (TS Toys)

Late Cretaceous Europe
Cretoxyrhina (Prehistoric Sharks Toob)
Scapanorhynchus (Prehistoric Sharks Toob)
Mosasaurus (Wild Safari)
Hatzegopteryx (CollectA)

Late Cretaceous North America is next, but there are so many species from there that I'm splitting it into five different scenes.

[Ikessauro]

Great collection mate, I love the way you show them by place and period.

[Splonkadumpocus]

Thanks, as a paleontology student I believe in placing everything in its proper context.


Late Cretaceous North America (Western Interior Seaway)
Tylosaurus (Carnegie)
Dolichorhynchops (Prehistoric Sea Life Toob)
Elasmosaurus (Carnegie)
Geosternbergia (Favorite)
Pteranodon (Carnegie)

[Splonkadumpocus]

Late Cretaceous North America (80-75 Ma, southern fauna)
Deinosuchus (Carnegie)
Edmontonia (Battat)
Gryposaurus (Wild Safari)
Parasaurolophus (Favorite)
Diabloceratops (Wild Safari)
Kosmoceratops (CollectA)

I'm putting Edmontonia here because it's been reported from the Aguja Formation in Texas. If that material gets reassigned I'll put it somewhere else.


Late Cretaceous North America (80-75 Ma, northern fauna)
Gorgosaurus (Wild Safari)
Struthiomimus (Ja Ru)
Scolosaurus (Carnegie)
Maiasaura (Carnegie)
Corythosaurus (Carnegie)
Centrosaurus (Unknown)
Chasmosaurus (Wal-Mart)

Yes, Scolosaurus. See the Euoplocephalus paper from a few months ago as to why.

It is great seeing your collection come along. I check this thread daily. I would love to someday organize my collection by time period and place.

[Splonkadumpocus]

Thank you. I wish I could display them like this permanently; unfortunately, I don't have enough shelf space to display them all at this point.


Late Cretaceous North America (75-70 Ma)
Albertosaurus (Carnegie)
Lambeosaurus (Invicta)
Hypacrosaurus (Wild Safari)
Styracosaurus (Carnegie)
Pachyrhinosaurus (Papo)
Vagaceratops (Wild Safari)

[Splonkadumpocus]

Late Cretaceous North America (70-65 Ma)
Quetzalcoatlus (Schleich)
Tyrannosaurus (Carnegie)
Ankylosaurus (Carnegie)
Edmontosaurus (Wild Safari)
Pachycephalosaurus (Favorite)
Leptoceratops (Wild Safari)
Triceratops (Carnegie)

And so ends the Mesozoic.

[Splonkadumpocus]

Early Eocene North America
Uintatherium (Ja Ru)
Champsosaurus (Prehistoric Crocodiles Toob)
Boverisuchus (Prehistoric Crocodiles Toob)
Gastornis (Wild Safari)

Pristichampsus was recently declared a nomen dubium due to its holotype being rather incomplete, so the referred specimens were reassigned to the more recent name of Boverisuchus (Kuhn, 1938).

[Splonkadumpocus]

Late Eocene North America
Hyaenodon (AAA)
Megacerops (CollectA)
Entelodont (AAA)

I'm lucky to have these and finding some of them took a bit of effort. These three and Eusmilus (which will be displayed later) are the only animals from the White River Badlands of North America to have been released in toy form as far as I know. The university I attend (South Dakota School of Mines and Technology) has dealt extensively with fossils from Badlands National Park and many specimens from that area are on display here, so I have quite a bit of a personal connection to this time and place.

Also, yes I did neuter my Megacerops. I occasionally use my collection for educational purposes and I don't want any awkward conversations with children.
