Pink Dinosaur #201

Pink Gastonia by David Tana

19– Gastonia burgei – this polocanthine ankylosaurid lived in the Early Cretaceous of North America (~ 125 mya) and was named after Robert Gaston, who discovered the genus.  With it’s sacral shield and massive shoulder spikes, it would have made for a formidable prey animal.  Reference for this restoration comes from a mount made by Gaston Design, from a specimen at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum.

Pink Dippy Dino by Jean Rose Pym (5yrs)

For her Nanny who had ouchy boobies.

The tail moves so it can go faster than sound and act as a whip, she informs me, and that is a flower on it's head because they are special and new :)
