Picture Quiz

Yitzhak Rabin

Edit: Nevermind....Waaaaay off!

Galvasean

I can readthe version of your post pre-edit... WTF?

Yitzhak Rabin

emmmmm.... :o

I read your clue, and then I remembered hearing that Speilberg made his Velociraptors much bigger, for the films sake....and during production, an actual new species of raptor was discovered which matched the larger one


....and then without thinking I guessed that species


....shortly afterwards I looked at the picture and..... :o

Galvasean

Clue: Got some spines, but not a spinosaur.

It looks like an allosaurus kinda, to me..... but different....


...so I'm guessing Yangchuanosaurus?


.... or actually with the spines clue... is it Acrocanthosaurus?

canthosaurus?

VERY close.

As for your guess of Yangchuanosaurus, Yangchuanosaurus was once believed to be a species of this animal.

Metriacanthosaurus! Finally!

Galvasean

Nice one. Your turn.

Yitzhak Rabin

By the way....how was it kinda in the jurassic park movie?

Galvasean

The name Metriacanthosaurus is clearly visible on one of the embryo containers when Denis Nedry is robbing them.

Not sure yet what your creature is. Did it live in the Permian? Is it a mammal-like reptile?

No this creature is quite a bit bigger, and older.

Rubecula

I am not too good with these Permian oddities, so I am guessing here and pulling at the bottom of the barrel really.

Ulemosaurus???

If I am totally wrong don't laugh I am trying my best.:D

Oh go on have a laugh at the 'old geezer'.;)

Kess73

Cotylorhynchus, although it could also be what I hope one of my exes looks like now.

Kess73

Yitzhak Rabin

Not a bad guess Rubecula.

Yep Kess, spot on!

Galvasean

Found him!

Cotylorhynchus


edit: bah, didn't realise there was a whole new page.... Kess73's dino looks like Cryolophosaurus

edit edit: google says yes

Galvasean

Meet 'Kirky'.



But what is his real name?

Rubecula

James Tiberius Kirk???:D

Looks a bit small but is it Troodon? (spelling a bit iffy)

Galvasean

It's not a troodontid. It's a coelurosaur that lived in the late Jurassic - early Cretaceous in South Africa.
And yes, it does have a semi-opposable thumb.

Kess73

Nqwebasaurus



Thanks to a google searck for Kirky the dinosaur.

Galvasean

Good stuff. Your turn.

Kess73

Galvasean

Chindesaurus

Chalk up another image from that Dougal Dixon book

Galvasean

Kess73

A snake with hind legs.

Narrows it down to being one of four or five choices.


Eupodophis?

Kess73

Ahh google is my friend again as I have found the same image.


Pachyrhachis

Galvasean

Right with the second one.
Your turn.
