fangirl0708 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi everyone, i have a weird question. We are watching Dinotasia and i saw a dinosaur that i fell in love with, and i am hoping to get some info on it if anyone has seen the movie, and trying to see if it is even a real dinosaur or one they fabricated for the movie. It was in the late cretaceous time period, 65 million years ago and they said lived in Montana. it looks to be a relitive of the T-rex, it's smaller and has a white face. From the research i have done my guess is an Albertosaurus. Does any one have any information that could help me get a definite ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorp Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There are a few smaller tyrannosaurids found in Montana, including Daspletosaurus, Albertosaurus, and Gorgosaurus. Any coloring doesn't help since very few fossils preserve original coloring and only the skin was colored on tyrannosaurids, not the bones (which are what is found). All lived around 70-75 million years ago (therefore during the Late Cretaceous). All three are relatively the same size and are very similar in appearance, hence a CGI depiction would be fairly hard to ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangirl0708 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I know the face coloring wouldnt be able to be know but i just loved all the bumps on their head and the way they look. they are all so amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triceratops Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Its a long time since I watched it but I think it may have been a juvinile Tyrannosaurus. -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 On the other hand, the show said it lived 65 million years ago. That leaves T. Rex and Nanotyrranus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painshill Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I haven’t seen the movie, but was it by any chance this one? https://archosaurmusings.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/jackforest.jpg If so, both David Krentz who modelled it and Angie Rodrigues who applied the colouration refer to it as T. rex in their portfolios.

Troodon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I know the face coloring wouldnt be able to be know but i just loved all the bumps on their head and the way they look. they are all so amazing Its Hollywood's interpretation to make it look cool and mean. Most museums have a kinder image of Trex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
