Theropod Pins and Buttons

Velociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period.

Four theropods, contained and arranged within neat squares

Well, it’s a t-rex/ horned theropod mashup if i’m being honest, was done for inktober x primal prompt “prey”.

This bipedal predator is for future paleontologists to dig up gravel to find this lovely extinct carnivore during prehistoric times! Dino love this to your heart!

This carnivore knows it has the coolest name of theropod dinosaurs and honestly any cretaceous period reptile. The fossil has an X in it's name. Now that's a cool extinct prehistoric animal.

Abel's Lizard from the late Cretaceous period is sure to get any paleontologist BITING to have this cool prehistoric design!

Last year a study was published answering some questions about what T.rex’s exterior soft tissue looked like. Traditional reconstructions have shown the Tyrant Lizard with scaly skin, the new study suggests that this is most likely the case based on numerous small examples of what appear to be scale impressions on different places on the body of a fully grown specimen. The research shows evidence of scales on the chest, stomach, neck, tail, and pelvis.

Roughly 216 to 196 million years ago in Triassic New Mexico, close to a thousand dinosaurs died, their remains preserved as fossils that would later be discovered in 1947 by Edwin H. Colbert and his assistant George Whitaker on a site appropriately known as the Ghost Ranch. It’s extremely rare in paleontology that scientists are handed such a find, a buffet of death that allows them to piece together the biology of a specific species in such a complete manner.

Utah always wanted it's own apex predator to call it's own and it happens that a raptor from the Cretaceous age was called Utahraptor. Pretty neat, so might as well respect the saurus reptile.

Spinosaurus has been placed within a secure containment square, lest he cause wanton destruction and chaos. Now he's just swimming

A Dilophosaurus wetherilli packed into a compact square design! He's comfortable in there it's fine

Named for the enormous neural spines running along it’s back to form what most have theorized to be a large sail or possibly a hump-like structure, Spinosaurus was first uncovered by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1912 while he was in Western Egypt in the Bahariya Formation. The fragmented remains looked to be from a very large and unusual theropod, possibly one bigger than the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had been discovered less than 10 years prior. Unfortunately the museum holding those remains was destroyed in a bombing run during World War II, but detailed drawings of the fragments did survive along with photos of the display.

n what would eventually become the Gobi Desert in Southwestern Mongolia, a creature with claws 3 times the length of the average human forearm. These massive scythe-like appendages were attached to a very odd looking member of the dinosaur family, a large theropod with an unusual gait, long neck, and a large potbelly built. This animal was most likely an herbivore, despite the vicious looking nature of it’s forelimbs, but being a big animal with short legs it’s likely that it developed big claws partly as a means to defend itself against big predators like Tarbosaurus bataar, a relative of T.rex that stalked Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous (70 million years ago).

One of my favourite tyrannosaurs, Bistahieversor! Its name means "Bistahi destroyer", and it was probably more light on its feet than its larger cousin Tyrannosaurus!

Coelophysis is an ancient predator and theropod carnivore in the late Triassic and early Jurassic and even cretaceous age! Paleontology and Archeology marvel at this velociraptor like creature.

Yutyrannus huali was a basal member of the Tyrannosauroid clade, specifically part of the Proceratosauridae family group with other small bodied crested dinosaurs like Guanlong and Sinotyrannus. Yutyrannus was large for it’s group but still much smaller than later, more advanced members of it’s clade, like Tyrannosaurus Rex. Despite this, at roughly 30 feet it is still currently the largest dinosaur yet found with direct evidence of feathers. It’s name is in fact derived from the Mandarin word for feather, yǔ (羽), and the Greek word for tyrant. The species name huali is taken from Mandarin for beautiful, making it’s overall name mean something close to “beautiful feathered tyrant.”

Albert was a prehistoric animal just wanting to be loved and was thrilled that paleontologists named his species Albertosaurus. Every extinct reptile was jealous of Albert and will be for millions of years.

Carcharodontosaurus! Realistic design fitting for people who loves dinosaurs. It can also be given as a Birthday or Christmas gift. Design is fitting in time for Dinosaur Day (June 1), and National Fossil Day (October 13)!

Giganotosaurus is my spirit animal. Giganotosaurus is one of the largest theropods and lived in South America in the Late Cretaceous Period. This dinosaur fact sheet shows the silhouette and a Giganotosaurus fossil.

Utahraptor is my spirit animal. Utahraptor is probably the largest of the dromaeosaurs and lived during the early cretaceous in North America.

This original illustration by Richard H. Fay features a Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the largest known carnivorous dinosaurs. Forty feet long and sporting powerfully-built jaws lined with long serrated teeth, this Cretaceous Period beast was imposing-looking enough to earn the title “Tyrant Lizard King”.

Triceratops

Elaphrosaurus is not an elephant and any paleontologist that says so is a prehistoric dummy! Just look at this cool design, does it look like an elephant? I thought not!

Paleontologists looking for extinct reptiles love to find the Guaiba lizard cause is name is cool and is a basal dinosaur genus. A paleontology specialist's dream at any geopark!

Guanlong wucaii! Stylized design fitting for people who loves dinosaurs. It can also be given as a Birthday or Christmas gift. Design is fitting in time for Dinosaur Day (June 1) and National Fossil Day (October 13)!

un Ceratosaurus Dinosaur Design! If you are an adult or a kid, these cute looking designs are the coolest dinosaurs of any era! Boys and girls of any age will LOVE THEM! With and without border/background designs available! Rawr!

One of the biggest apex predator in the forest of the cretaceous period, due to its popularity, t.rex has been researched and studied a lot more than other species of dinosaurs. This theropod is the reason why people got into paleontology!

Fearsome dino in a tribal tattoo inspired style.

This original illustration by Richard H. Fay features an Allosaurus, a meat-eating theropod dinosaur that prowled western North America during the Late Jurassic.

A cozy little Tyrannosaurus rex companion for your day to day ventures!

Fossil collectors and prehistoric animals both like this dinosaur cause most of them are dromaeosaurids. Birds that all saurus reptiles are and most are carnivores so watch out!

This is one of my top favorite dinosaurs; the CARNOTAURUS! I just love his little devil horns and way too tiny arms. What a cute guy!
