Picture Quiz

Galvasean

VERY VERY close.

Rubecula

Brontosaurus (Or whatever it is called nowadays I keep forgetting)



Quick edit cos I googled it. LOL my memory is shot. Apatosaurus

Sorry about that.

Kess73

That's from the giant Titanosaur found a few years back, Puertasaurus.

What he is standing beside in the pic is a vertebrae. Must have been one heck of a mountain of meat when it was walking about.

Kess73

Rubecula

That is either a pig ancestor or you got into my family album. Looks just like my ex. LOL

Is it Kubanochoerus ???

It has that kind of look about it.

Kess73

Hehe I think it could be a lot of people might be comparing it to an ex.


And yep you are right.:)

Galvasean

Rubecula seems to be away for the time being so I'll pop one up for now.

Rubecula

Thank you for picking up the task Galvasean, I have not got one ready because I have been run ragged today.


The arms look tyrannosurus like, but the beastie is a small one. Ignoring the arms for a moment, is it perhaps an Allosaur? They had smallish arms themselves.

But perhaps they were bigger than that too. Just a quick guess.

Rubecula

Austroraptor cabazai. ?????

(Small Tyrannosaur like creature found in Argentina)

Galvasean

It's a tyrannosaur alright. It lived in eastern (clue) North America inthe Late Cretaceous.
That picture might be a bit decieving as a full grown specimen has never been found.

Yitzhak Rabin

Appalachiosaurus

Yitzhak Rabin

I'm pretty sure I'm right after Galvasean's clues... so here's the next one.

Galvasean

Lystrosaurus

Galvasean

Okay, I think I got that last one right (correct me if I'm wrong) so I'll fire ahead:

Yitzhak Rabin

The ridge over the eye kinda makes it look like an allosaur?

It's believed to be a member of the allosauroidea alright. Imagine the carcharodontosaurs were the SUVs of the allosauroidae, then this guy is the sleek sports car.

In fact, it was initially mistaken for something even sleeker. Clue:

Look at the claw!!!!!

:eek:

Scarinae

Is it a megaraptor? I think they were mistaken for dromaeosaurs (sp?) originally but the giant claw was actually on a different 'finger' so they were reclassified as being more like the allosaurs

Kess73

Damn came back to the thread too late


Yep Fishie that is a megaraptor in Galv's pic.

Galvasean

Clue: it's actually a kind of hedgehog

Any chance you could upload the pic on boards? My damn work proxy blocks out most sharing sites

Alright so. I'll give it a try.


Hope this works.

Kess73

The hedgehog that sounds a bit like an X-Men villan or a sea god.


Proterix loomsi

Kess73

Fishie can take my go as he missed out on his go earlier.

Scarinae

Aw, thanks! My own fault for being in work instead of being online




Clue: Slightly bizarre name thanks to disgruntled researchers

Galvasean

Irritator?

edit: after googling I found both of those pictures labelled as Irritator so I'll fire away with a new one:



Clue: It's bigger than it's famous relative.

Rubecula

I am sure that is meant to be Sauroposeidon.

Rubecula

I think I am right so just in case I am and I can't get back too soon (work calls) I am putting this one in for you.

Galvasean

Gorgonops?

Rubecula

Correct Galvasean, your turn.:)

Galvasean

Clue: It was (sort of) in the first Jurassic Park film.
