Road to Spinosaurus IV: Not your father's JP3-osaurus
/ Scott Hartman 
Without further ado, here is my updated Spinosaurus skeletal. It does not look much like the popularized Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park 3, nor does it much resemble my prior version from 2012. While I am not following the proportions of FSAC-KK 11888, the result of investigations by Ibrahim and coauthors, Evers and coauthors, Andrea Cau, and others have indeed changed the face of Spinosaurus…

The road to Spinosaurus III: Of chimeras and leg proportions
/ Scott Hartman 
In order to produce an updated skeletal reconstruction of Spinosaurus you have to be able to settle on its proportions. I have previously mentioned that FSAC-KK 11888 is the proverbial elephant in the room when it comes to this challenge, and the reduced hind legs of the FSAC specimen are the proverbial….bigger elephant? Woolly mammoth in the room? What I'm saying is someone is going to be unhappy with my conclusions no matter what I find, so I'm going to walk through my reasoning on the subject here in some detail…

The road to Spinosaurus II: Known unknowns
/ Scott Hartman 
When trying to restore the proportions of Spinosaurus, the elephant in the room is obviously FSAC-KK 11888, the proposed neotype specimen. When described in 2014 it was purported to resolve most of the mysteries in understanding the proportions and ecology of Spinosaurus, with it shifting from a large, terrestrial bipedal carnivore with a rounded sail to a knuckle-walking aquatic pursuit fish eater with a sigmoid sail (or one with two peaks). Of course there's been some controversy about each of those claims, and I will weigh in on them in due course. But for today, I want explore sail shape…

The road to Spinosaurus I: Megalosaur skulls
/ Scott Hartman 
A few years back I wrote a couple of essays about Spinosaurus, on what could be said about the proportions and habitat of Spinosaurus. Ultimately I decided I would have to work from the ground up to create a new skeletal. Today I want to start laying out my thoughts on this challenging topic. Starting phylogenetically broadly and working towards El Spino, here is a quick look at the proportions of megalosaur skulls…

Dinosaurs didn't twerk, err....Part 2?
/ Scott Hartman 
No, you didn't miss Part 1 of this series. Nor did you miss a follow-up to The Lip Post (it's coming eventually!). Going back to the end of 2018 I had intended to do a two-part post about tails, limb-retractor muscle function, and posture. Part 1 was supposed to be about hadrosaurs (as a follow up to the hadrosaur repose from the same time period), and part 2 was going to be about sauropods…

Hesperornithoides: Frequently Asked Questions
/ Scott Hartman 
I've seen many questions raised about our recent publication of the Lori specimen, so here are some responses to the most common queries:
What is this about?
It is my pleasure to introduce Hesperornithoides miessleri, a small paravian theropod from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming.
Where's the paper? Gimme, gimme!
You can find the scientific publication here: Peerj …

Introducing Hesperornithoides miessleri
/ Scott Hartman 
It's been a long time coming, but on behalf of my coauthors it is my pleasure to introduce the world to a new dinosaur, Hesperornithoides miessleri…
