#Gorgosaurus ( GOR-gə-SOR-əs; lit. 'dreadful lizard') is a #genus of #tyrannosaurid #theropod #dinosaur that lived in western North America during the #LateCretaceous #Period (#Campanian), between about 76.5 and 75 #millionYearsAgo. #Fossil remains have been found in the #CanadianProvince of #Alberta and the #USState of #Montana. #Paleontologists recognize only the #typeSpecies, G. libratus, although other species have been erroneously referred to the genus. Like most known tyrannosaurids.
I promise I am working hard on commissions! 🙏 But I had this sitting, almost complete... I worked so hard on it and love it so much. I wanted you guys to see it. This is my li'l parasaurolophus, Fern. This image will be the banner for any blog posts related to her and her story, "Fern's Path".

✧ Atrociraptor ✧

Atrociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Alberta, Canada. The first specimen was discovered in 1995 by the fossil collector Wayne Marshall in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation. In 2004, this became the holotype of the new genus and species Atrociraptor marshalli; the gene...

#Ammonites went out with a diverse bang—and not a long, slow fizzle—in the #LateCretaceous
A new study used museum collections to map ammonite diversity around the globe before their total #extinction and found they were not in decline prior to their extinction alongside non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago

Ammonites went out with a diverse bang—and not a long, slow fizzle—in the Late Cretaceous

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications led by paleontologists at the University of Bristol along with a team of international researchers, including Dr. Austin Hendy, Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, finds that instead of fizzling out ahead of their extinction, ammonoids were still going strong across the globe in the Late Cretaceous. Made possible by museum collections, the new study compared their diversity across the globe just prior to extinction, unearthing the complex evolutionary history of their final chapter for the first time.

Dinosaur-age 'nightmarish' sea lizard fossil found

Scientists believe the species hunted the oceans 66 million years ago with "teeth like knives".
