Description
AttentionThe specimen this was based on is most likely not a dryosaurus.
Papers that have reviewed the material since the original description point to it being closer related to Camptosaurus.
Given the specimen is:
A. not fully grown
B. has a proportionately longer tibia than adult Camptosaurus
C. in possession of a nearly identically shaped ilium to campto
It's a reasonable assumption that it was a juvenile Camptosaur.
Until further edited disregard the scale chart.
On a positive note, all known dryosaurus specimens are not skeletaly mature. (so dryo, while likely not as large is still pretty large)
=====
Dryosaurus (green), Nanosaurus (yellow) and Orodromeus (cream), Wild Turkey (black) and Blue jay (obvious).

Kinda ironic that the fossil you based this on is Nanosaurus again considering how fucking big it was compared to others of its kind, huh?

The nanosaurus paper refers to it as camptosaurus like
and it never states the specimen as a nanosaurus.
so I have no idea where you got that from.
said fossil being
CM 1949

Was CM 1949 the specimen you based the Dryosaurus on?

the composite it was based on was based off of that specimen yes.
which is no longer dryo

Yes, I saw the reassessment in the "Nanosaurus is back" paper

to be fair this size is derived from a obscure skull
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
people tend to forget that (me included)
it is because it is always stood next to giant dinosaurs, so you forget just how big it is

This is fair
granted a lot of depictions use G.sp's altus skeletal which is a smaller animal

never heard of the guy but i will assume he found a small version everyone thinks of
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He's the other big skeletal maker. Also doesn't like people using his skeletals commercially.

ah ok then, i'll look him up
