Reconstruction of the noasaurid Kiyacursor longipes from the Early Cretaceous of the Kemerovo Region (Russia). The partial skeleton of this dinosaur was found in 2023 at the Shestakovo 1 locality. It consists of the left scapulocoracoid, humeri, cervical and trunk vertebrae and ribs, and most of the articulated hind limbs. In addition, a partial cervical vertebra was attributed to Kiyacursor. The holotype could have reached 2.5 meters in length, but histology of the leg bones showed that it was not fully grown. The hind legs are long, with a very narrow metatarsus, which indicates the ability to run quickly. Unlike other cursorial theropods, Kiyacursor has a highly developed third (middle) metatarsal and reduced second and fourth. The humeri are very small. Due to the lack of a skull, it is difficult to judge the diet of the animal. Kiyacursor is part of a fauna characterized by the presence of relics from the Jurassic period.

Berlin sketch nr. 2: Elaphrosaurus bambergi, sketch done @mfnberlin. This is by far the best Natural history museum I saw, and among all the great and famous dinosaur mounts this peculiar one cought my attention. It's a very sleek and weirdly proportioned dinosaur, one of the many species discovered during the famous German expeditions in Tanzania at the beginning of the 19. century. For a long time this dinosaur was very enigmatic and it's position in the theropod family was often disputed,but recent similar findings from China made the situation more clear and assigned this species to the ceratosauria. #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #drawing#pencil #blackwork #darkart#blackandwhite #dailysketch #instasketch#sketch_daily #dotwork #linework #graphic#berlin #elaphrosaurus #paleoart
