Dublin_Gunner

I believe you're correct

I know this isn't how its meant to go, but hope you don't mind me popping in and dropping a few pics?

What is this?

Kess73

Baryonyx

Kess73

and a clue

Dublin_Gunner

Archaeopteryx?

(if your clue is an image, I can't see it as it must be blocked by my work proxy!)

**edit scratch that, it doesn;t appear to have teeth...

Kess73

nope

Dublin_Gunner

Oviraptor?

Kess73

no

Dublin_Gunner

Anchiornis?

What was the clue you posted?

Kess73

I thought I was an oviraptorosaur of some description.

I must admit defeat

Yitzhak Rabin

Ingenia yanshini?

Kess73

Nope. But very very very close. It was in fact mistaken as being an Ingenia for some time, before being classed as a different, but related Oviraptorid.


ok time for another clue.

It is a type of Oviraptorid

Yitzhak Rabin

I'm not getting the clues! It must be some type named after a someone in star trek?

Is it one of the Caudipteridae? I'm guessing that because of the fan of feathers on its tail?

Kess73

Another clue.:)

Yitzhak Rabin

Is it Khaan by any chance :P

I looked at Khaan, but dismissed it because I thought the skull was too elongated(at least according to the artists impression on wikipedia!)

Looks a little like a Paraceratherium or rather something that a Paraceratherium may have evolved from.

So maybe I should be thinking back through the Hyracodontidae family?

No this is a more recent beast. But you're in the right direction. Its related to modern horses, tapirs and rhinos.

Kess73

So I should be thinking Perissodactyla in order to figure it out.

Exactly

Kess73

Moropus?

Moropus?

Very very close. Over this side of the Atlantic though.

Kess73

Chalicothere?

Kess73

No that's wrong as your pic does not have it walking on it's knuckles so my last guess is defo wrong.


Ancylotherium it is then.

Yitzhak Rabin

Correct

Kess73

Right one that is picked to be confused with a similar shaped beastie.:)

Yitzhak Rabin

Is it a Cymbospondylus? It kinda looks like one, particularly with the lack of dorsal fin?

Kess73

Good guess, but no.
