    Now THAT is a hard one. I had to cheat to figure out what it is ;) Wonder if anyone else will get it.

    In the mean time, no one has guessed my easier one yet:

    thats a fusulinid I was looking at that the other day.

    Galvasean I know yours but for some reason the name keeps slipping out of my head. It was the stocky little badger like things that lived in burrows. I remember seeing it on the tv programme.

    Hate it when the name is on the tip of my tongue.

    Nope. The gorgonopsid was the thing hunting it.


    As for your creature, I'm not sure what species but it looks like a primitive thecodont.

    Here's one, I came across:

    If plants don't count, here's an animal:
    dinofelis-1.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    The animal is Dinofelis. No idea what the plant is called.

    It's called Baragwanathia, it dates from the later Silurian - early Devonian. It's a tough one alright.

    Concavenator corcovatus... It's a new discovery isn't it? It also helps when you started a thread on it!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean

    Not been online for a while so I just popped in to try you out on this one.
    Good luck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Pterygotus?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    Not quite right but I think you are on the right track.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Is it the one that was recently discovered in Scotland? The name eludes me...

    edit: Google says Hibbertopterus

    I think you know it, but struggling to get the name. So what I will do is put the initials for you to work from.

    J************ r********.

    Hint. If you want to look it up try National geographic, I saw the picture I posted there first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, the biggest of the lot apparetly.

    My turn,
    Dryptosaurus.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    I was looking at this picture this morning believe it or not.

    I am just having a problem remembering it's name.

    An early Tyrannosaur I think that ate Hadrosaurs.

    Not sure as i can't find it again now but something like:
    Dryptosaurus aquilunguis. But please excuse the spelling as I say I can't find it again.

    Yes thats it. I found it.

    bullockornisWC.jpg

    Clue, this had the nickname of the "Duck of Doom"


    (Special interest link for Galvasean. Can you name this one? *smile*)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    Sorry, but I can't see the picture, just the ubiquitous red 'X'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    I really had to use Google on that one. (You wont believe how long I had to stare at the picture:D:D)

    I think I got it right but I am not sure. Is it:

    Deinocheirus????

    (With two Brunettbikiniwesaur)

    I am not sure as I have never heard of this thing before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    Try this one. Clue? You could use it for at least two of the next three Creature of the week features.

    Based on the clue, I'm guessing Xiaosaurus.
