Shortcut: Dinosaur Image Review Archives
This page is mainly for reviewing the accuracy of dinosaur life restorations (usually by the artists themselves, but anyone who wants an image scrutinized is welcome to post it for review). Any other image, such as size comparisons or photos of skeletal mounts, can also be posted here to review their accuracy. If you want to submit dinosaur images for accuracy review, place them here as well as links to what you used as references. If you want to participate as reviewer, you can put the page on your watchlist. New images of any type can also be requested by including "Request:" in the section title; if submitted, such an image will thereafter be reviewed here. Sections are archived automatically after some time when a discussion stalls, to encourage speedy responses from both artists and reviewers. It is allowed to revive sections if they have been archived before being resolved, unlike regular talk page archives. Modifications of previously uploaded amateur restorations to correct anatomical inaccuracies is encouraged (including by others than the original artists), but modifications of historical restorations are discouraged, as these should be used to show historical ideas. Modifications to restorations published in peer-reviewed journals should be uploaded as separate files, so that both versions are available. Images that have been deemed inaccurate should be tagged with the Wikimedia Commons template "Inaccurate paleoart" [6] (which automatically adds the "Inaccurate paleoart" category [7]), so they can be prevented from being used and easily located for correction. User created images are not considered original research, per WP:OI and WP:PERTINENCE [a], but it is appreciated if sources used are listed in file descriptions (this is often requested during WP:Featured Article reviews).

I have added reconstructions of Amargasaurus and Bravoceratops skeletals by Gunnar Bivens. I think they may be useful for Wikipedia articles. As far as their correctness is concerned, I have no objections.

Hello, I'm back here, I was updating my drawings and scanning them for the last month after a resurgence of my passion for editing Wikipedia, uploading drawings, photographs and categorizing on Commons (I must thank the paleoartists Ventura Salas and Joschua Knüppe for my total reactivation of the passion for paleoart). The pandemic and quarantine hit me very hard (I think like everyone else) and I was very depressed for the last 4 years. Anyway, I'm back home (here), and I discovered that the Wikiproyect is more active on paleoart and images since I became inactive, good to see that, forgive me if I didn't respond to the times some of you tagged me. Now I'll read most of the archives from 2021 to present, I've read a few of them, and I'm not going to lie when I say that when I read Miracusaurs' comment about the Tlatolophus drawing in Archive 5 I laughed for a whole minute, you made my day, thank you! Well, I will ask you to please review some of the latest updates of the drawings and other new ones that I made. Any comments, advice or constructive criticism is welcome, thanks in advance! -- Levi bernardo ( talk) 11:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello again, now I will try to go in alphabetical order of the illustrations that I had left unfinished, I will start with Adelolophus and this is the progress I have, I increased the size of the crest so that it becomes a true parasauroloph adult and not a subadult. I think I need to review and correct the medial process area of the premaxilla. comments? -- Levi bernardo ( talk) 06:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
So after what was said above, I took the initiative to look for available images of the Adelolophus fossil, but I did not find anything specific. Until I saw that Angel A. Ramirez-Velasco's diagram of North American hadrosaur skulls was available because the article is hosted in a journal with a proper CC license. The problem with the image is that although the illustration of the fossil and the diagram of the silhouette of the skull were extracted with high resolution, it is still a miniature. So I started making a real-size illustration of the fossil in its real colors and this was the result. I think I will make a version that also includes the other available views of the fossil. And although I hate black and white images of fossils, I think the illustration I made looks just a little better in gray, so the future composition will be in grayscale. –– Levi bernardo ( talk) 20:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Following the recent Antarctopelta redescription that found Patagopelta to be a parankylosaur, here is a skeletal diagram and size chart using that idea (which is also supported by additional currently unpublished research). The skeletal is split into two: one for the osteoderms and one for the rest of the skeleton. I made another version that has them merged together, but some comments on the WP:PALEO Discord server suggested to upload just this one, at least until the aforementioned paper describing additional material is published.
Along with the Patagopelta images, I also overhauled all of my parankylosaur silouhettes and the combined size chart (including the newly added Patagopelta). As always, comments are welcome and appreciated. - SlvrHwk ( talk) 23:52, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I did a Suchomimus tenerensis reconstruction based on fossil ilustrations of MNN GDF 500 (holotype) and MNN GF501, Dan folkes skeletal (2023) and the digital skeletal reconstruction of Suchomimus from the ''Spinosaurus is not a aquatic dinosaur'' study by Sereno et al., 2022. I think it looks great and more accurate and updated to our interpretation of this taxon than the one old reconstruction that was in the page and the new one they placed in. So what do you think? What should I do to get it reviewd? Sauroarchive ( talk) 14:45, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Added by @ UniverseScienceItaly: without review. Are there any anatomical issues? Ta-tea-two-te-to ( talk) 02:38, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I was rescuing some drawings that I made between 2015-2018. And among them was a Lourinhasaurus, which has been on my to-do list for a long time, now on Wikimedia there are two images of Lourinhasaurus, but as User: Lythronaxargestes had noted, the skin pattern and the way it is shown is incorrect in this and other Iberian sauropods that the artist made. ( in the corresponding review) Visually and artistically it is beautiful, but it has that detail, in addition to the fact that the nasal opening is too high and too far back. Additionally, the orbital fenestrae are too demarcated. The skin has a somewhat Elephantine texture, which although is an appropriate way to apply and imitate for areas with wrinkles, areas with marks, etc. They are not exactly correct to what they really were to what is known about Tehuelchesaurus, Haestasaurus and Diplodocus sp. In addition, once you give a skin texture to something but it has a relatively high level of detail and the image is in high resolution so that the close-up makes it look like mammalian skin, you get into an interpretation problem. and what you intended to show becomes misleading and perhaps even anatomically incorrect at the dermal level. Now, my illustration still lacks details, and I will be increasing the size of the scales on the upper part of the body. When I finish it I will also modify the position of the most forward front leg, and I will correct the posture of the neck to an even higher one. Doing this style of scales is even worse than doing popcorn or flower-style strokes on close-up drawings. Levi bernardo ( talk) 08:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s an Agrosaurus macgillivrayi I’ve made in Procreate. It’s based on Jaime Headden’s Thecodontosaurus (which may be a senior synonym) and in terms of style I was inspired by both Ddinodan and Raingerr. What do you think?
(P.S. would this file be better transparent, with a white background, or should there be two versions, one transparent and one with a background?) Atlantis536 ( talk) 12:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
I noticed there’s no images of Agustinia ligabuei on Commons except for an inaccurate reconstruction by Nobu Tamura, so I made this. It’s based on Bellardini et al. 2022, which reinterprets the taxon as a rebbachisaurid. I used an unpublished skeletal by Gunnar Bivens as the base, adding beak tissue based on Lavocatisaurus and a yellowish color based on Diplodocus sp. as reported at SVP 2023. Atlantis536 ( talk) 14:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

My first non-sauropodomorph—this is Antrodemus valens, a theropod that may just be a synonym of Allosaurus. As such, it is depicted as a generic allosaurid theropod based on a skeletal by Franoys. Any thoughts, comments, or feedback? Atlantis536 ( talk) 09:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here is a reconstruction of Aoniraptor libertatem, a mysterious theropod, as a megaraptoran, using Ashley Patch’s Australovenator as a base. This follows its original description and most studies including it. Any comments, thoughts, or feedback?
P.S. would it be okay if I also make a bahariasaurid version of this, following Cau (2024)? Atlantis536 ( talk) 10:32, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s a reconstruction of Apatodon mirus as an allosaurid theropod, after George Olshevsky’s identification of it as a synonym of Allosaurus. Yes, it’s just a minorly edited version of the Antrodemus above, and that’s because as possible close relatives or conspecifics, they would have likely not varied too much. Atlantis536 ( talk) 10:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
All the images marked as “ Arstanosaurus akkurganensis” on Commons belong to “Gadolosaurus”, which is probably a distinct taxon, so here’s my first ornithischian—a life reconstruction based on Gobihadros. Atlantis536 ( talk) 02:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Asiaceratops salsopaludalis appears surprisingly often in phylogenetic analyses, but curiously there’s no restorations of it on Wikimedia Commons, so I made one. This one is based on the Leptoceratops skeletal by Qilong and modified by PaleoNeolitic. Atlantis536 ( talk) 03:57, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Ah, Asiamericana asiatica, where to start? This restoration is based on Scott Hartman’s Microraptor, since the possibly synonymous Richardoestesia has been informally referred to Microraptoria. That said, the feathering in my reconstruction is more generic so as not to be too speculative. Atlantis536 ( talk) 04:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
New unenlagiine theropod from South America. Please review for accuracy. UnexpectedDinoLesson ( talk) 21:05, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
This restoration of Baalsaurus mansillai is based on Gunnar Bivens’ Bonitasaura, a possible close relative. It incorporates beak tissue as hypothesized for Bonitasaura and a yellowish color similar to that hypothesized for Diplodocus as a speculative reflection of convergent evolution between diplodocoids and “antarctosaurid” titanosaurs. Atlantis536 ( talk) 05:59, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
This restoration of Bainoceratops efremovi is based on Scott Hartman’s Protoceratops, since the two taxa have been considered to be potentially synonymous. Atlantis536 ( talk) 06:58, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Ah, Bashunosaurus kaijiangensis. I remember writing its page after finding out that the Yuzhoulong paper cites its once-overlooked formal description. As such, I believe it’s fair to give it an illustration, based on Gunnar Bivens’ Camarasaurus. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
“ Beipiaognathus jii” is a chimaeric taxon, and this reconstruction represents the real animal represented by the holotype without the artificially placed additions. It is reconstructed as a “compsognathid”-type coelurosaur based on Scott Hartman’s Compsognathus with coloration inspired by Sinosauropteryx. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Here is Bissektipelta archibaldi, an often overlooked ankylosaurid. This reconstruction is based on Gregory Paul’s Pinacosaurus with slight modifications, colored reddish based on Borealopelta. Atlantis536 ( talk) 09:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s Bonatitan reigi, a tiny titanosaur. It is based on its close relative, the similarly tiny Ibirania. Atlantis536 ( talk) 02:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Borealosaurus wimani is an often overlooked sauropod that may be a titanosaur. Here it’s reconstructed as a basal titanosaur based on the Huabeisaurus by Steveoc 86, another potential basal titanosaur from Asia, with small osteoderms because Tiamat valdecii proves that even the most basal, Andesaurus-grade titanosaurs had osteoderms. Atlantis536 ( talk) 04:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Brachypodosaurus gravis is a mysterious Indian taxon that is all but ignored in the literature. The most recent review (done in 1977!) considered it a possible ankylosaur without comment. If this assignment is correct, it may be a parankylosaur, since India was part of Gondwana in the Cretaceous and parankylosaurs are likely the only ankylosaurs known from Gondwana. This hasn’t been explicitly suggested in the literature though, so this reconstruction, while based primarily on Stegouros, is generalized so that it could be seen as any type of ankylosaur. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s Brasilotitan nemophagus, a square-jawed titanosaur. This depiction is based on my Baalsaurus above, since it may be a close relative, and as such exhibits similar coloration. Atlantis536 ( talk) 14:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s Bravasaurus arreirosorum, a relatively small titanosaur. Not much to say except it’s based on the skeletal reconstruction in its description (oh, and that I was the one who wrote its page) Atlantis536 ( talk) 14:41, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
“ Brohisaurus kirthari” is a potential titanosauriform, which is why I reconstructed it after Gunnar Bivens’ Brachiosaurus. It also holds the dubious distinction of being the only validly named non-avian dinosaur from Pakistan (described in a peer-reviewed journal in an article stating it is a new genus and species with a diagnosis) Atlantis536 ( talk) 01:51, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Here's my artwork for Aorun, a Jurassic alvarezsaur from the Shishugou Formation.The entire body shape is based on other basalmost alvarezsaurs like Haplocheirus and Shishugounykus. Tell me if there is anything else to correct. Much appreciated. Palaeotaku ( talk) 09:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Here's my skeletal diagram of the titanosaur Tiamat valdecii, from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil, described yesterday. Body is mainly based on other basal titanosaurs like Wintonotitan and Andesaurus. Tell me if there's anything needing correction. PaleoNooby ( talk) 15:02, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
I also had a skeletal for Tiamat; I didn't notice one had already been uploaded to Commons. I suppose it doesn't hurt to have two. Comments appreciated.

Hello. I did a Suchomimus tenerensis reconstruction based on fossil ilustrations of MNN GDF 500 (holotype) and MNN GF501, Dan folkes skeletal (2023) and the digital skeletal reconstruction of Suchomimus from the ''Spinosaurus is not a aquatic dinosaur'' study by Sereno et al., 2022. I think it looks great and more accurate and updated to our interpretation of this taxon than the one old reconstruction that was in the page and the new one they placed in. So what do you think? What should I do to get it reviewd? Sauroarchive ( talk) 14:45, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Skeletal diagram for the new sauropodomorph, mostly using Riojasaurus as a base. I also included the fibula fragment that was initially found but then lost due to poor preservation, since it is included in the paper's figure.

I was rescuing some drawings that I made between 2015-2018. And among them was a Lourinhasaurus, which has been on my to-do list for a long time, now on Wikimedia there are two images of Lourinhasaurus, but as User: Lythronaxargestes had noted, the skin pattern and the way it is shown is incorrect in this and other Iberian sauropods that the artist made. ( in the corresponding review) Visually and artistically it is beautiful, but it has that detail, in addition to the fact that the nasal opening is too high and too far back. Additionally, the orbital fenestrae are too demarcated. The skin has a somewhat Elephantine texture, which although is an appropriate way to apply and imitate for areas with wrinkles, areas with marks, etc. They are not exactly correct to what they really were to what is known about Tehuelchesaurus, Haestasaurus and Diplodocus sp. In addition, once you give a skin texture to something but it has a relatively high level of detail and the image is in high resolution so that the close-up makes it look like mammalian skin, you get into an interpretation problem. and what you intended to show becomes misleading and perhaps even anatomically incorrect at the dermal level. Now, my illustration still lacks details, and I will be increasing the size of the scales on the upper part of the body. When I finish it I will also modify the position of the most forward front leg, and I will correct the posture of the neck to an even higher one. Doing this style of scales is even worse than doing popcorn or flower-style strokes on close-up drawings. Levi bernardo ( talk) 08:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s an Agrosaurus macgillivrayi I’ve made in Procreate. It’s based on Jaime Headden’s Thecodontosaurus (which may be a senior synonym) and in terms of style I was inspired by both Ddinodan and Raingerr. What do you think?
(P.S. would this file be better transparent, with a white background, or should there be two versions, one transparent and one with a background?) Atlantis536 ( talk) 12:59, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
I noticed there’s no images of Agustinia ligabuei on Commons except for an inaccurate reconstruction by Nobu Tamura, so I made this. It’s based on Bellardini et al. 2022, which reinterprets the taxon as a rebbachisaurid. I used an unpublished skeletal by Gunnar Bivens as the base, adding beak tissue based on Lavocatisaurus and a yellowish color based on Diplodocus sp. as reported at SVP 2023.

My first non-sauropodomorph—this is Antrodemus valens, a theropod that may just be a synonym of Allosaurus. As such, it is depicted as a generic allosaurid theropod based on a skeletal by Franoys. Any thoughts, comments, or feedback? Atlantis536 ( talk) 09:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here is a reconstruction of Aoniraptor libertatem, a mysterious theropod, as a megaraptoran, using Ashley Patch’s Australovenator as a base. This follows its original description and most studies including it. Any comments, thoughts, or feedback?
P.S. would it be okay if I also make a bahariasaurid version of this, following Cau (2024)? Atlantis536 ( talk) 10:32, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s a reconstruction of Apatodon mirus as an allosaurid theropod, after George Olshevsky’s identification of it as a synonym of Allosaurus. Yes, it’s just a minorly edited version of the Antrodemus above, and that’s because as possible close relatives or conspecifics, they would have likely not varied too much.

All the images marked as “ Arstanosaurus akkurganensis” on Commons belong to “Gadolosaurus”, which is probably a distinct taxon, so here’s my first ornithischian—a life reconstruction based on Gobihadros. Atlantis536 ( talk) 02:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Asiaceratops salsopaludalis appears surprisingly often in phylogenetic analyses, but curiously there’s no restorations of it on Wikimedia Commons, so I made one. This one is based on the Leptoceratops skeletal by Qilong and modified by PaleoNeolitic. Atlantis536 ( talk) 03:57, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Ah, Asiamericana asiatica, where to start? This restoration is based on Scott Hartman’s Microraptor, since the possibly synonymous Richardoestesia has been informally referred to Microraptoria. That said, the feathering in my reconstruction is more generic so as not to be too speculative. Atlantis536 ( talk) 04:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

This restoration of Baalsaurus mansillai is based on Gunnar Bivens’ Bonitasaura, a possible close relative. It incorporates beak tissue as hypothesized for Bonitasaura and a yellowish color similar to that hypothesized for Diplodocus as a speculative reflection of convergent evolution between diplodocoids and “antarctosaurid” titanosaurs. Atlantis536 ( talk) 05:59, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah, Bashunosaurus kaijiangensis. I remember writing its page after finding out that the Yuzhoulong paper cites its once-overlooked formal description. As such, I believe it’s fair to give it an illustration, based on Gunnar Bivens’ Camarasaurus. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
“ Beipiaognathus jii” is a chimaeric taxon, and this reconstruction represents the real animal represented by the holotype without the artificially placed additions. It is reconstructed as a “compsognathid”-type coelurosaur based on Scott Hartman’s Compsognathus with coloration inspired by Sinosauropteryx. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Here is Bissektipelta archibaldi, an often overlooked ankylosaurid. This reconstruction is based on Gregory Paul’s Pinacosaurus with slight modifications, colored reddish based on Borealopelta. Atlantis536 ( talk) 09:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s Bonatitan reigi, a tiny titanosaur. It is based on its close relative, the similarly tiny Ibirania. Atlantis536 ( talk) 02:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Borealosaurus wimani is an often overlooked sauropod that may be a titanosaur. Here it’s reconstructed as a basal titanosaur based on the Huabeisaurus by Steveoc 86, another potential basal titanosaur from Asia, with small osteoderms because Tiamat valdecii proves that even the most basal, Andesaurus-grade titanosaurs had osteoderms. Atlantis536 ( talk) 04:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Brachypodosaurus gravis is a mysterious Indian taxon that is all but ignored in the literature. The most recent review (done in 1977!) considered it a possible ankylosaur without comment. If this assignment is correct, it may be a parankylosaur, since India was part of Gondwana in the Cretaceous and parankylosaurs are likely the only ankylosaurs known from Gondwana. This hasn’t been explicitly suggested in the literature though, so this reconstruction, while based primarily on Stegouros, is generalized so that it could be seen as any type of ankylosaur. Atlantis536 ( talk) 13:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Here’s Brasilotitan nemophagus, a square-jawed titanosaur. This depiction is based on my Baalsaurus above, since it may be a close relative, and as such exhibits similar coloration. Atlantis536 ( talk) 14:03, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

“ Brohisaurus kirthari” is a potential titanosauriform, which is why I reconstructed it after Gunnar Bivens’ Brachiosaurus. It also holds the dubious distinction of being the only validly named non-avian dinosaur from Pakistan (described in a peer-reviewed journal in an article stating it is a new genus and species with a diagnosis) Atlantis536 ( talk) 01:51, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
