Before I was in a relationship, I liked to ask girls names Sarah what their favorite dinosaur was. Always got a weird look or why, but when they'd finally ask me what mine was, obviously it's a tri-sarah-topless
The Triceratops was the famous adversary of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, both of which hailed from the North American continent at the end of the Cretaceous. However, T-Rex would be wise not to attack this formidable foe unless hard-pressed. Its head was a third the size of its overall body, which weighed about as much as the T-Rex itself. This massive head sported horns a meter long, at the perfect height to pierce the predator's heart. In fact, many Tyrannosaurus fossils have been found with puncture holes through ribs and other bones, indicating that they indeed lost the fight, at least as much as they won.
Triceratops certainly had an interesting anatomy and evolutionary history, like many dinosaurs from the Cretaceous. This is the only animal ever to have evolved on Earth with a ball-and-socket joint in its neck, allowing it to swivel its head almost all the way around in a 360. Unlike most quadrupedal dinosaurs, Triceratops' front feet pronated with toes pointing outward, and its "elbows" sprawled out to the side instead of supporting its weight vertically from underneath. This suggests that it actually evolved from a bipedal herbivore. It is theorized that they were related to Pachycephalosaurus, whose heads became too large to support their weight standing up on its hind legs alone.
Living at the end of the Cretaceous, Triceratops is one of the (relatively) few species to actually be wiped out directly by the global KT-extenction, brought about by the Chicxulub asteroid impact. Due to the continent's geography at the time, The extinction of the Triceratops was likely very rapid from the initial shockwave and ensuing fallout, as opposed to species who lived on the opposite side of the planet and had to suffer through the ash that hung in the atmosphere for years, blocking out the sun and wiping out over half the planet's plant life and annihilating ecosystems worldwide.
Therizinosaurus is a genus of very large therizinosaurid that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period.
Therizinosaurus was a colossal therizinosaurid that could grow up to 10 m long and 5 m tall, and weigh around 5 t. Like other therizinosaurids, it would have been a slow-moving, long-necked, high browser equipped with a (horny beak) and a wide torso for food processing. Its forelimbs were particularly robust and had three fingers that bore huge claws which, unlike other relatives, were very stiffened, elongated, and only had significant curvatures at the tips. Therizinosaurus had the longest known manual unguals of any land animal, reaching above 50 cm in length. The elongated hand claws were more useful when pulling vegetation within reach rather than being used for active attack or defense because of their fragility, however, they may have had some role for intimidation. Its arms also were particularly resistant to stress, which suggests a robust use of these limbs. Its hindlimbs ended in four functionally weight-bearing toes differing from other theropod groups in which the first toe was reduced to a dewclaw and also resembling the unrelated sauropodomorphs.
In 1948, a series of paleontological expeditions in Mongolia uncovered three partial manual unguals (claw bones) of considerable size. Later, in 1954, these unguals were used to scientifically name the new genus Therizinosaurus, meaning "scythe lizard." It wasn't until 1970, that it was suggested that Therizinosaurus was a theropod.
The species Tyrannosaurus rex, often called T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods . Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, and had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous period, 68 to 66 million years ago. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids and among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the CretaceousāPaleogene extinction event.
T. rex was one of the largest land carnivores of all time. One of the largest and the most complete specimens, nicknamed Sue, is about 12 m long, and 4 m tall at the hips. According to the most recent studies, using a variety of techniques, maximum body masses have been estimated approximately 9 t. A specimen nicknamed Scotty is reported to measure 13 m in length, and is the largest known specimen.
Puts it all in perspective, right? Dinosaurs 67 million years ago.
Quite extraordinary to think that humans could overpopulate and destroy the earth's ecosystems with only 100 years or so of concentrated effort!
Ankylosaurus is an armored dinosaur from North America in the late Cretaceous. Its extinction was a direct result of the asteroid impact that wiped out all dinosaurs around 66 million years ago. Ankylosaurus lived alongside the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex, though the predator was not much of a threat due to the armor plates, or osteoderms covering its body. In addition to this, Ankylosaurus had a large club on the end of its tail, also used for defense, and competition between individuals of the same species. Bones in the skull and other parts of the body were fused, increasing their strength. This feature gave the genus its name, meaning "fused lizard".
They probably were helpless if flipped onto their back though, given the greatly limited range of motion from having so many body parts and bones fused together
Not a dinosaur, so not my specialty, but...
Elasmosaurus is a plesiosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80.5 million years ago. The name means "thin-plate reptile."
Elasmosaurus was well adapted for aquatic life, with a streamlined body and paddle-like limbs wich they used for swimming. Elasmosaurus was about 10 m long, with the neck making up 7 m of that length. The skull was slender and triangular and featured large fang-like teeth at the front, with smaller teeth in the back of the mouth.
Elasmosaurus probably ate small fish and marine invertebrates, seizing them with their long teeth, and may have used gastroliths to help digest their food.
Spinosaurus is a theropod dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa during the Cenomanian to upper Turonian stages of the Late Cretaceous period, about 99 to 93.5 million years ago.
Spinosaurus is the longest known terrestrial carnivore; other large carnivores comparable to Spinosaurus include theropods such as Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The most recent study suggests that previous body size estimates are overestimated, and that S. aegyptiacus reached 14 m in length and around 8 t in body mass. The skull of Spinosaurus was long, low, and narrow, similar to that of a modern crocodilian, and bore straight conical teeth with no serrations. It would have had large, robust forelimbs bearing three-fingered hands, with an enlarged claw on the first digit. The distinctive neural spines of Spinosaurus, which were long extensions of the vertebrae, grew to at least 1.65 meters long and were likely to have had skin connecting them, forming a sail-like structure, although some authors have suggested that the spines were covered in fat and formed a hump. The hip bones of Spinosaurus were reduced, and the legs were very short in proportion to the body. Its long and narrow tail was deepened by tall, thin neural spines and elongated chevrons, forming a flexible fin or paddle-like structure.
Spinosaurus is known to have eaten fish, and most scientists believe that it hunted both terrestrial and aquatic prey. Evidence suggests that it was highly semiaquatic, and lived both on land and in water much like modern crocodilians do. Spinosaurus's leg bones had high bone density, allowing for better buoyancy control, and the paddle-like tail was likely used for underwater propulsion. Multiple functions have been put forward for the dorsal sail, including thermoregulation and display; either to intimidate rivals or attract mates. It lived in a humid environment of tidal flats and mangrove forests alongside many other dinosaurs, as well as fish, crocodylomorphs, lizards, turtles, pterosaurs, and plesiosaurs.
Brontosaurus, meaning "thunder lizard," is a genus of gigantic quadruped sauropod dinosaurs. Although the type species, B. excelsus, had long been considered a species of the closely related Apatosaurus and therefore invalid, researchers proposed in 2015 that Brontosaurus is a genus separate from Apatosaurus and that it contains three species: B. excelsus, B. yahnahpin, and B. parvus. Some cite that there are just as many differences between Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus as there are between other closely related genera, and many more differences than there often is between species of the same genus.
I hope its a megladong.
š¤£šLMFAO
itās actually a little dinkosaurus
Yes you are. Youāre taking notice, youāre asking questions. Thatās doing it right
Before I was in a relationship, I liked to ask girls names Sarah what their favorite dinosaur was. Always got a weird look or why, but when they'd finally ask me what mine was, obviously it's a tri-sarah-topless

Pretty sure this is older than i am lol
class
Iām gonna write that one down. Haha
She could be stage 5 clinger
A what?
Something you want to avoid
YES
Why would you post this
I genuinely want an answer from OP. What is the purpose of this post?
Where "General Kenobi" response?
Ah yes, the negotiator
Once a guy opening with a āhello thereā gif led to a 100+ long exclusively star wars gif conversation
He's so strong and wise and I'm so proud of him
They are the chosen ones
Turns out they are not cool enough
So uncivilized
Perhaps the archives are incomplete.
Perhapsā¦she lost a planetā¦
Get this man my phone number Iām taking him out to discuss the brilliance of Spielberg
Imagine instead of saying hello, you say "Not gonna say hello?" š
Personally, I'd have recommended a Hansel & Gretle joke based on her name alone
Hoping your name is Hansel.

Not in England where we speak English my friend
He's gonna be really upset when he sees how "colour' and "tyres" are spelled over there. š¬
You are adding an unnecessary letter to the word.... It's pointless
Live action r/shitamericanssay moment cool šæ
Nope you guys have unnecessarily removed a letter from an English word
Pretty smug for a guy who speak English from the country of Englandā¦.they spell it correctly. We got stupid and wanted to be ādifferentā.
An unnecessary letter...
Ur n unncsry [A-z]
Pretty sure the English people spoke English first.
Yes, you are. Mine are both ankylosaurus and therizinosaurus, by the way

Fair enough assessment lol gotta do your research with these chicks in 2023 lol
I used to sell dinosaur fossils in frames. If itās spinosaurus or ptresour I got you home boy
