Description So, those wibbly little arms do serve a purpose, after all...

This was a "glorified sketch" I'd prepared with John Conway for his "All Yesterdays" presentation, about new insights on how dinosaurs might have looked. Too bad my real-life affairs kept me from participating further into this project.

Here, I'm speculating on possible wattles, scales and fleshy bits that might adorn the face of Majungasaurus, a majorly weird abelisaur. Majungasaurus also possessed a bony dome on top of its skull, here I imagined this structure as the base of a big, keratinous helmet-horn.

Another speculation I entertained was the possible use of abelisaurs' tiny arms for intra-spesific displays.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing this on Tet. Zoo! I must ask, is the name "All Yesterdays" actually based off your "All Tomorrows"?

I don't think so, I think the name refers to "all possible visions of the past" or something like this.
