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!

One of the most iconic of all dinosaur groups, the sauropods persisted for over 130 million years, and in that time they developed into all sorts of unique and bizarre forms! This collection of six illustrations showcases the amazing diversity of the sauropod group!
The "short-necked shepherd" is one of the more bizarre sauropods out there, a diplodocoid with an extremely short neck that might have been an adaptation for low browsing
A Mongolian titanosaur with a mouthful of a name, Opisthocoelicaudia was found without a head and neck, so its close relative Nemegtosaurus is used as a reference for its head.
Galeamopus, meaning "needs a helmet", is a genus of diplodocid only recently named from century-old fossils, and is the most complete diplodocid specimen ever found!
The ceratopsian dinosaur with one of the most spectacular frills, Chasmosaurus's name means "Opening reptile" after the huge holes in the bone of its frill
Spinosaurus, meaning "spine reptile", was the first spinosaur ever discovered. Its fossils were destroyed in WWII, but new discoveries are revealing that its appearance was weirder than anyone imagined!
Known from only a skull, the rest of Irritator's appearance remains a mystery. Its anatomy here is a rough guess based on its close relative Spinosaurus.
