In 1985 fossil hunter Patrick McSherry, found the remains of a stegosaur, at the ranch of S.B. Smith in Johnson County, Wyoming.
Together with Ronald G. Mjos and Jeff Parker of Western Paleontological Laboratories, Inc. and paleontologist Dee Hall of Brigham Young University they extracted the fossil.
Originally thought to be a Stegosaurus fossil, Clifford Miles recognised that they belonged to a species new to science.
This one I would rate as medium. This large stegosaurid is closely related to stegosaurus, but isnt stegosaurus.

This was designed by kongzilla and modified by me into a new species.
This one I would rate as easy. This is theropod is one of the most well known from North America.

After watching the first three episodes, i can safely say that CT is right up there with Camp Cretaceous as some of the best JP content since the original movies.
The way they dive into the dumpster fire of a world made by the movies and correct their mistakes is brilliant and i cant wait for more.
From the 1920s, Soviet scientists found fragmentary fossils in Dzharakuduk, Uzbekistan. All they could tell is it was some kind of ceratopsian.
In 1988, Lev Aleksandrovich Nesov published about these fragments naming them Turanoceratops tardabilis. But due to lack of description it was deemed a nomen nudum.
In 1989, Nesov et al formally named, with proper description, Turanoceratops. This was based on a partial, damaged, maxilla.
This one I would rate as medium. This is small sized ceratopsian.

In 1994, Colombian paleontologist María Páramo, published the details of the, at the time, most complete mosasauridae from South America.
The original skull was 47cm in length, and it was estimated to be 5m long. Since then a far larger, 87cm skull has been found. This implies that it could grow far larger, comparable to other larger mosasaurids.
This one I would rate as hard. This mid sized marine reptile is known from Colombia, South America.

Im doing some fossicking at Richmond QLD Digsite 1
After a few hours, this is what i have to show for it
Who can guess what they are (spoilers i have no ide myself haha)
#Dinosaurs in #Doctor#Who, who would have guessed...
Lets take a look at what they show, and break down what we can see.
They say they are 150m years in the past, in #Wyoming
In this image we can clearly see a #Brachiosaurus.
As far as I know, its been found in #Colorado which is close enough for it to migrate there.
It also looks fairly accurate for a #Giraffatitan adjacent species.
Brachiosaurus is from the Morrison formation, which has dinosaur-bearing exposures in at least 7 (wikipedia lists 13) states in the western USA. Wyoming is more or less near the center.
No guess that #Lego fossil this week.
I went to the #Age#of#Dinosaurs museum in #Winton today and am too tired to sort it out
Sorry.
Plus side, here's some holotype images for you :D
This one I would rate as medium. This mid sized Macronarians is known from North America
