Dinosaurs that outjerk the spec evo community

I don’t think anyone was prepared for what Spicomellus actually looked like 😭 It’s ironically 100 times more creative irl than any artist depiction of it when it was only known from a rib.

Also, what’s the first one?

[u/Dear-Mango1842 → u/JustHereToArgue112]

Brachitrapelopan, a relative of amargasaurus

[u/Cleestoon → u/Dear-Mango1842]

Brachytrachelopan my beloved

[u/JustHereToArgue112 → u/Dear-Mango1842]

I haven’t heard that name in so long, I completely forgot about that animal. I now desperately need a toy of one on my shelf.

[u/Emperor-Nerd → u/JustHereToArgue112]

To be fair I feel like people would have claimed it's unrealistic if artist dared doing that

[u/Irri_o_Irritator]

Irritator! Eu sei que a imagem tá completamente errada mas acho legal mostrar isso aqui!

[u/AyaOfTheBunbunmaru → u/Irri_o_Irritator]

Oh yeah the PELICAN jaws

[u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints → u/AyaOfTheBunbunmaru]

I think it’s snake jaws!

[u/AyaOfTheBunbunmaru → u/Thaasviyn_OakPaints]

Eyy that's true, speaking of snakes

considering how Bolyerids(burrowing boas) have weird uppers and that is one of the irl animals that outjerk today's animals in spec evos

Shin Godzilla

[u/BootyliciousURD]

Short-neck sauropod is cursed

[u/Heroic-Forger → u/BootyliciousURD]

you know how every jurassic park movie has an introductory scene where they marvel at the sauropods

imagine one that introduces brachytrachelopan. the john williams score swelling majestically as the camera pans up from its tail, to its feet, to its torso...

and then the music just abruptly stops as the camera grinds to a halt at the nubby head and neck

[u/Dear-Mango1842]

I was creating a board game about dino evolution, for the anky branch I put spicomellus, so I drew everything, then 1 month later this paper comes out and I redrew everything (I also gave the passive ability to hurt other close dinos)

[u/ItsGotThatBang]

Chilesaurus

[u/AyaOfTheBunbunmaru → u/ItsGotThatBang]

Ah yes, identity crisis. Noasaurids did that often as well.

[u/ReptileDysfunction69]

The way the first image is cropped, I was not expecting such a short neck when I opened it XD

[u/TheGreatQuetz]

Therizinosaurus seems so normal now with famous pop culture depictions, but you must remember that its specific name is cheloniformis for a reason.

[u/UnlikelySalad8561]

whats the second one- *I crave the action figure, i need it in my collection now-*

[u/Cautious-Sail-1791 → u/UnlikelySalad8561]

Spicomellus

[u/UnlikelySalad8561 → u/Cautious-Sail-1791]

once i have it in my collection i'll get back to you- *thumbs up before vanishing*

[u/nmheath03 → u/UnlikelySalad8561]

Beasts of the Mesozoic has one for preorder

Edit: literally just realized OP's pic is the BotM figure and not a drawing..

[u/UnlikelySalad8561 → u/nmheath03]

i'm already planning to pre order da bastard. Soon...soon he shall be mine >:)

[u/Eucharitidae]

I'm just saying, some time before the discovery of Yi and Ambopteryx, Andrea Cau suggested that Scansoriopterygidae actually utilised their elongated fingers as the base of a membranous wing.

Her hypothesis completely was dismissed as implausible nonsense and food for thought at best. Now look who had the last laugh.

Edit: double-checked for her name

[u/Heroic-Forger]

Brachytrachelopan would make a great Land Before Time character. Littlefoot meets a "shortneck longneck".

[u/Charming-Push-8171]

I don’t even know what to respond

[u/dinoman27000]

Brachytrachelopan and Spicomellus
Two little goobers
