11/30/2022 0 Comments Jurassic world evolution t rexThe rest of the skeletals have been produced by myself (Allosaurus, Majungasaurus, Suchomimus, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Diplodocus) Skeletal of Mamenchisaurus, Gobivenator, Camarasaurus, Carnotaurus and Dreadnoughtus by Skeletals of Sinoceratops and Nodosaurus by. Skeletals of Struthiomimus, Chasmosaurus, Pentaceratops, Triceratops, Corythosaurus, Tsintaosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Giantspinosaurus, Sauropelta, and Olorotitan by Gregory S.Paul, from the Priceton Field Guide to Dinosaurs 2016. Skeletals of Velociraptor, Deinonychus, Gallimimus, Dilophosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Styracosaurus, Maiasaura, Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, Edmontosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Huayangosaurus, Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Brachiosaurus by. Updated the Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, Diplodocus and Camarasaurus. Update : Added Stenonychosaurus (=Troodon), Dreadnoughtus, Iguanodon, Olorotitan, Carcharodontosaurus. A few of them were scaled from closely related animals with similar body plans. The masses were obtained from volumetric models from mass studies, and from GDIs done on the skeletals used as reference. They are scaled to the measurements of the largest specimens I have been able to find across the published scientific literature. Here I tried to base each animal on rigorous skeletal reconstructions made after the fossils made by, Greg Paul,, and myself. For example, the ceratopsians have their manuses and feet based on rhinoceros rather than in ceratopsian fossils and the sauropods have clawed hands, the ankylosaurus has rows of spikes in the lateral surfaces of the torso and too long legs, the Deinonychus a head restored wrong and not after it's closest relatives like Velociratpor between a really long etcetera (like the theropods having totally pronated hands, and ornithomimids and dromaeosaurids lacking feathering). This is specially true of the dinosaurs that have appeared in the films. The proportions of many of the animals are not based on rigorous skeletal reconstructions and have proportions very different from the real life counterparts. The Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus masses (14 and 21 t) were obtained in a very questionable manner from an allometric regression that plots skull legnth vs body mass, without considering the proportions of the postcrania (the regression of Therrein and Hendersson 2007 had many values plotted wrong as well), and some animals like Pentaceratops, Camarasaurus, or Mamenchisaurus are ridiculously oversized when compared to the real specimens. Sometimes it feels like they are picked from the highest estimate posible listed in english wikipedia, and other times they feel outright made up.įor example the mass estimate for Tyrannosaurus is 18 t that estimate is obtained from a grotesquely obese model from Hutchinson et al 2011 and one can't seriously argue the maximum model is as likely as the minimum for a healthy predator. One thing that every paleo enthusiast will notice is that the scaling and the vital statistics of the dinosaurs feel very rushed and not very throughly studied. Anyway, here are all the dinosaurs in the recently released Jurassic World Evolution game, a tycoon similator in which you attempt to create your own Jurassic world. I have had this on my computer for a long time but somehow didn't find the time for the upload.
