Hey Bob, maybe instead of dioramas they could use some of that cool hologram technology the Japanese recently used to promote the movie ‘The Water Horse’.

Wouldn’t that be cool?

Cool. I’m not a pro in this field by any means, but I have wondered recently for the purpose of the little arms and big head tail and fat legs on this basic, classic tyrannosaurus/allosaurus template.

I think that once the prey animal was subdued that they used the leverage of there tail and back legs to pull backwards and rip meat off the bone.

They could probably run fast like an ostrich too, and maybe snap there heads forward, catch a bite and then rip the prey backwards.

Just speculating.

Thanks Cryptomundo.

My favorite subject. Great news. With the horned covering over the skull of Kryptops makes me wonder if this type of Dinosaur had feathers. Paleontologists say that T-Rex young had feathers because of some recent fossil findings. More and more fossils, of the two legged meat eating species, are being found with having feathers. Like mystery_man, I think with advancement in technology there will be some great findings ahead. What I would give to be able to see what these fascinating creatures looked and sounded like. Thanks Loren for another good informational post. These are great additions to the Cretaceous Period.

I can’t wait for them to start searching more in Antartica. Have often wondered just what is below all that ice.

Dinosaurs are always fascinating, at least to me.

Fascinating find. We have no where near a complete fossil record of all life that has ever inhabited this world, and when these sorts of finds are made I see it as just a little more light shed on our Earth’s natural history, another step towards our understanding of the diversity of the life. I predict that as techniques become more advanced and new areas are searched, we are going to see some stunning fossil discoveries in the not so distant future.

The Museum of Natural History shoud have a Dinosaur Diorama hall featuring life size models of Dinosaurs instead of Bones.
