Abydosaurus Sketch

At first glance not a particularly interesting brachiosaurid, though there are a couple things that set it apart and add to the coolness factor of this one. First of all not alot of sauropods are known from skull material, but what we found of this one is it's head and a bit of its neck. Which is also why it was names what it was, as the city of Abydos is said to be where the head and neck of osiris was buried.

Two sauropods for today, Abrosaurus and Abydosaurus! I’m not too familiar with sauropod anatomy so there’s bound to be mistakes. But hey, it was fun!

Name: Abydosaurus mcintoshi

Name Meaning: Abydos Reptile

First Described: 2010

Described By: Chure et al. 

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda, Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Macronaria, Titanosauriformes, Brachiosauridae

Abydosaurus was a brachiosaurid that was found in the Mussentuchit Mmber of the Cedar Mountain Formation, near Dinosaur National Monument, Utah. It lived about 104.5 million years ago, in the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous. This makes Abydosaurus unique in on of the few brachiosaurids known from North America in the early Cretaceous. It also is unique in being known from a skull, a rare event for sauropods. It had a very similar skull to Giraffatitan, even though the two were separated by about 45 million years. It was probably about 29 meters long.

Request from jurassiczoostudio: Siats.

Finally, after a stupidly long time of deliberating over what I should draw involving one, and two sides of a paper covered in Siats doodles, I come up with this.

Here, a Siats is met by Mussentuchit Member contemporary Abydosaurus at a river.

I promise I'll start coloring stuff again at some point.
