New member on a prehistoric scene

[Malidicus]

Greetings all! My wife, Thagirion has been telling me about this place so I wanted to sign up. I have been a dinosaur nut since I was 4yo & I have been collecting them since then too. Most of my collection is vintage (inaccurate) dinosaur figures but I do have some modern ones too.
Also, I am metal head and like monster movies just the same.

[Thagirion]

Awesome. I'm glad you joined. I think you will like it here. I have been having a lot of fun.  We need to get you an avatar and pick your dino.

Welcome Malidicus!

The two of you could be the first couple the forum has ever had join its ranks  

[ingenia]

Dinosaurs and metal ! Me, too!

[Metallisuchus]

Welcome. I've heard a bit about you through your wife - glad you joined. I too, am a metal & dino fan, hence my name. I like "suchus" better than "saurus". Saurus seems so vague, and I love crocodile-faced dinosaurs, so there you go.

The people here are the friendliest on the internet.

[Malidicus]

Wow, thanks everybody!

Yeah Thag', I just kept hearing so much about this place. "it sounded right up my alley".  Hmm, I need to pick a dino'. Although, I was considering a marine reptile like Liopleurodon.

DinoToy', Thanks! We are the 1st? What do we win?!?!?

Ingenia, Thanks! What bands do you like?

Metallisuchus, (love that name!) I have always loved deinosuchus, sarcosuchus, postasuchus & the like. What bands, dude?

Some of those aren't metal, obviously, but you get the picture. There's a music thread in the "general" section. That's where we usually keep the non-dino-related topics.

As far as paleontology is concerned, my tastes are very much like Thag's - predators and armored dinosaurs.

Ingenia, I love your avatar. So cute. What species is that?  Hehe it's like a budgie dino.  At least in the face.  This is cool there are a few metal heads here and also of course paleo lovers.

I'm a Rhomaleosaurus, so other marine reptiles are welcome

Thanks!The species is ingenia, a small oviraptorid. I am not sure if the picture is scientifically correct, it was just the first one I found with google search that fitted the size.

Ingenia, Thanks! What bands do you like?

Lately the melodic death metal genre is my favorite, so bands like Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Scar Symmetry, Insomnium, Nightrage, Darkest Hour, Allegaeon.
But also thrash , the -core genres, sludge etc.

Unearth,Killswitch Engage, Machine Head, Metallica, As I Lay Dying, Mastodon, All Shall Perish, The Empire Shall Fall, Shadows Fall, Cataract, Sylosis, Throwdown, Bury Your Dead, Malefice, Times Of Grace etc.
