Pink Dinosaur #213
Pink Balaur by David Tana
24 – Balaur bondoc – this newly described velociraptorine made its home in what is now Romania in the Late Cretaceous (~ 70 mya). It was an island dwelling dinosaur with a number of characteristics unique to its group, such as a slender two fingered hand, a stocky body, and not one, but two sickle-shaped claws on each foot. The reference for this restoration comes from an image in the paper by Csiki et al. (2010) titled “An aberrant island-dwelling theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Romania” from the journal PNAS of the USA. Pen and color pencil on paper. (click the image to enlarge.)

Pink Carnotaurus with Accordion by Ingunn Aasland
Walking with dinosaurs - the musical!
This idea started with the popular expression "I need [item] like a Carnotaurus needs an accordion"... (What do you mean it's not a popular expression? It should be!)
Once I'd drawn him, I started wondering what musical instruments other dinosaurs clearly wouldn't need - hence the drumming Therezinosaurus, trumpet-playing Masiakasaurus, and piano prodigy Shuvuuia. I don't know whose anatomy I've mangled worse, the dinosaurs' or their instruments'!

Pink Edmontosaurus by David Tana
23 – Edmontosaurus annectens – this “duck-billed” dinosaur made it all the way to the end of the Late Cretaceous (~ 73.0-65.5 mya), and from its home in western North America, probably saw the bolide falling from the sky that would soon contribute to its demise. Many specimens of Edmontosaurus are known and exceptionally preserved, leaving behind not only bones, but skin impressions, organs, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and even possible traces of color patterns. The reference for this cranial restoration is a skull on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC. Pen and color pencil on paper.

Pink Lambeosaurus by David Tana
22 – Lambeosaurus lambei - this hadrosaurid with the hatchet-like crest would have easily distinguished itself from other lambeosaurines that shared its Late Cretaceous North American world (~76-75 mya). Many have suggested that the mostly hollow crest acted as a resonating chamber for making distinct sounds that, along with the visual cue, would help distinguish them from other hadrosaurines. The reference for this cranial restoration is a skull on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Pen and color pencil on paper.

Pink Utahceratops by David Tana
21 – Utahceratops gettyi – this chasmosaurine ceratopsian from the Late Cretaceous of Utah (~ 76.4-75.5 mya) is quite the looker! This year has been a big one for ceratopsians, and Utahceratops is one of many new species that has been named in 2010. The reference for this cranial restoration comes from the paper by Sampson et al. (2010) titled “New Horned Dinosaurs from Utah Provide Evidence for Intracontinental Dinosaur Endemism” from the journal PLoS ONE. Pen and color pencil on paper.

Pink Stegoceras by David Tana
20 – Stegoceras validum – this North American pachycephalosaurid lived in the Late Cretaceous (~ 83-65 mya) and sported a 76 mm thick skull adorned with a rounded dome and spikes adorning the ridge on the back of its skull. Contrary to popular conception, they probably did not use these skulls as battering rams. The reference for this restoration is a skeleton on display at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada. Color pencil on paper.

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.
