Australia has an assortment of odd looking, and dangerous, creatures. So why not dinosaurs, too?
These Australian dinosaurs featured are:
Koolasuchus cleelandi - amphibian first found in 1978 in Victoria
it was a large creature with a skull about 26" long, a body of up to 16' and weighing perhaps 500kgs
Serendipaceratops arthurcclarkei - a mystery animal known only from a single arm bone discovered in Victoria (and named after Arthur C Clarke, a science and science fiction writer)
Timimus hermani - a theropod discovered in Victoria in 1991.
the thighbone found was 44cm which might indicate a lithe animal of 8'
Qantassaurus intrepidus - a small bipedal herbivore discovered in Victoria in 1999.
it was possibly 6' long by 3' high
Diamantinasaurus matildae - discovered in Queensland and described and named in 2009
was a large quadrupedal herbivore weighing up to 15-20tons and reaching around 50' in length
Australovenator wintonensis - a bipedal carnivore discovered in Queensland
was 6'6" at the hip and about 20' long, weighing up to 1,000kg.
for dinosaurs or large animals
I've a dinosaur sheet as well from elsewhere in the world and all different to yours.
ReplyDeleteI like the sun drenched landscape which makes the dinosaurs stand out.
ReplyDeleteFantastic sheet, and not your typical dinosaurs, a refreshing change from T-Rex.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sheet. How great to have the whole sheet, not broken up.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised Australia had their very own dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteAs you know I have had my post ready for over a week. But today I forgot to add it to the Linky List...
