Artists Notes:

    Originally considered to be a valid species, Magnuvenator gigantis “giant great hunter” was recently discovered to be a chimeric fossil composed of Microcephalovenator megartus “big armed small headed hunter” and Ignisarmatus robustus “stout fire armor”. Microcephalovenator was a true tyrant while Ignisarmatus was a spike tailed goliath. It is likely that the two were rivals during the Jurassic period and both killed each other in combat. After they had decayed to some extent some bones were lost in geological processes and the remaining bones were jumbled together before burial.

    When I was younger I considered godzilla to be a strange amalgamation of different dinosaurs. Link to Challenge: tyrantisterror.tumblr.com/post…

i actually have my own version of what combination of dinosaurs Godzilla (or Godzillasaurus) would be. 

And, well...this is more with the Jurassic World but you get the idea 

Jurassic World: Godzillasaurus (Hybrid)

Yeah, Godzilla’s design was based on a few dinosaurs so I’m not surprised that other people came up with this idea.

He actually is. Toho stated his first design incorporated Iguanodon, Tyrannosaurus, and Stegosaurus.

Yup, I believe he was based specifically on the paintings of Rudolph Zallinger and Zdenek Burian while his skin texture was made to be reminescent of radiation burn victims.

Shin Godzilla really culminated those ideas to extreme fruition.

 You know that particular theory makes as much sense as any, now that you mention it ...

I just like the idea of chimeric fossils!

 Well I rather love the way you've been able to bring some old, invalidated and yet fondly-recalled Palaeontology cliches so it would seem that in this case we have both been very Lucky!
