There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Liaoningosaurus. You might know it as the ankylosaur only known from hatchlings, but it may have eaten fish!
Not so herbivorous after all.

A good depiction of what a real ankylosaurus could be alike.

Well, it seems as though everyone's disregarding Dreadnoughtus at this point since it wasn't 65 tonnes as originally thought. 
It's still pretty good sized - up to 46 tonnes! http://theworldofanimals.proboards.com/p...722/thread

It's no 65 tonne juvenile as we first thought, but a 46 tonne juvenile is very impressive nonetheless. Fully grown, it would probably be giving Apatosaurus and Barosaurus a run for their money,

" Borealopelta: ‘Sleeping dragon’ Fossil the Best Preserved Armored Dinosaur Ever Found ?
Some 110 million years ago, this armored plant-eater lumbered through what is now western Canada, until a flooded river swept it into open sea. The dinosaur’s undersea burial preserved its armor in exquisite detail. Its skull still bears tile-like plates and a gray patina of fossilized skins.
The ancient fossil was accidentally discovered by machine operator Shawn Funk at a mine near Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, in 2011.
Further investigation revealed that the extraordinary fossil was a newfound species of plant-eating ‘nodosaur.’ The beast was so remarkably well preserved because its remains ended up in a river, possibly swept up by a flood, shortly after it died.
Its carcass was then carried out to sea where it sank to the ocean floor, becoming enveloped in mud which both preserved and petrified the nodosaur’s remains, giving the fossil the appearance of a sleeping dragon.
Usually just a dinosaur’s bones and teeth survive long enough to be fossilized, however, in this case because of its quick burial, intricate details of the nodosaur’s scale armor were preserved."

At #16 I already posted a board with the different species of stegosauridae, but their names were written too small. And this one:

" Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic, about 154–153 million years ago. It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Colorado River valley in western Colorado, United States.

Eats: Ginkgo
Eaten by: Allosaurus, Torvosaurus
Length: 26 – 30 m (Adult)
Lived: 161.2 million years ago - 145 million years ago (Oxfordian - Tithonian) "

No one indication concerning the museum from where this photo was taken. I personnaly believe that it's in the Humboldt Museum in Berlin where there is the most complete skeleton of brachiosaurus. For more informations see the link: https://paleontology.fandom.com/wiki/Brachiosaurus

Mantellisaurus is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur that lived in the Barremian and early Aptian ages of the Early Cretaceous Period of Europe. Its remains are known from Belgium , England and Germany. The type and only species is M. atherfieldensis.

A genus of the iguanodon, yes, but much more smaller, weighing only 750 kilos...

Length: 10 – 15 m
Scientific name: Omeisaurus (Omei lizard)
Lived: 174.1 million years ago - 145 million years ago (Aalenian - Tithonian).

Gasosaurus is a genus of tetanuran theropod that lived approximately 171.6 to 161.2 million years ago during the middle of the Jurassic Period. The name "Gasosaurus" is derived from the English "gasoline" and the Greek σαῦρος/sauros.
Mass: 150 kg

" Parasaurolophus, meaning "near crested lizard" in reference to Saurolophus) is a genus of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur that lived in what is now North America and possibly Asia during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 76.5–73 million years ago. It was an herbivore that walked both as a biped and as a quadruped. Three species are universally recognized: P. walkeri (the type species), P. tubicen, and the short-crested P. cyrtocristatus. Additionally, a fourth species, P. jiayensis, has been proposed, although it is more commonly placed in the separate genus Charonosaurus. Remains are known from Alberta (Canada), New Mexico and Utah (United States), and possibly Heilongjiang, (China). The genus was first described in 1922 by William Parks from a skull and partial skeleton found in Alberta.

Height: 4.9 m
Mass: 2,700 – 3,600 kg
Lived: 83.5 million years ago - 70.6 million years ago (Campanian)
Extinct in: Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event
Length: 10 – 11 m "

About #43:

Bajadasaurus: discovered in Bajada Colorada Formation in Patagonia. It was a small sauropod (size of the extant Asiatic elephant) from the Early Cretaceous. All the dinosaurs of this group, the Dicraeosauridae had a small size and were short-necked sauropods. Their neck vertebrae had a long and bifurcated neural spine.
