A Copy of the Disclaimer:

    "This supplement is intended to be a companion for Gregory S. Paul’s impressive work The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, and as such, exhibits some similarities in format, text, and taxonomy. This was done solely for reasons of aesthetics and consistency between his book and this supplement. The text and art are not necessarily reflections of the ideals and/or theories of Gregory S. Paul.

                The author of this supplement was limited to using information that was freely available from public sources, and so more information may be known about a given species then is written or illustrated here. Should this information become freely available, it will be included in future supplements.

                For genera that have been split from preexisting genera, or when new information about a genus has been discovered, only minimal text is included along with the page number of the corresponding entry in The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs. Genera described solely from inadequate remains (teeth, claws, bone fragments, etc.) are not included, unless the remains are highly distinct and cannot clearly be placed into any other known genera; this includes some genera that were not included in Gregory S. Paul’s work, despite being discovered prior to its publication.

                All artists are given full credit for their work in the form of their last name, or lacking this, their username, below their work. Modifications have been made to some skeletal restorations for aesthetic reasons, but none affecting the skeleton itself. Should any artist want their piece modified or removed from this supplement, they may contact the author. All life restorations are by the author and based on the accompanying skeletal diagram. All artwork corresponds to the entry immediately above it.

                The author apologizes in advance for any typos, overlooked information, and inconsistencies that may be present in this and future supplements."

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................

Four years in the making!  I hope to make one of these available for free download at the end of every year, so future ones won't be quite so long.    I hope you all enjoy them and are able to use them effictively as a reference to the latest in dinosaur discoveries.

If you find any errors, or have an inquiry regarding the skeletals (either to contribute, modify, or remove), be sure to send me a message or note and I will happily make changes to the supplement as necessary. Information included in the supplement is based almost entirely on published material, so there's nothing on rumored remains or anything that isn't official yet. With that said, there are a few exceptions to this rule where the info in question has been available for some time and does not seem destined to change drastically (ex: Nebulasaurus).

Regarding the taxonomy used in the supplement, I mostly accepted new species/splits (ex: centrosaurine ceratopsians), where as Gregory S. Paul would likely have rejected them. However, I do acknowledge the "lumping view" in most cases with the alternative classification in parentheses (ex: Vagaceratops (or Chasmosaurus) irvinensis).

Talented Deviants whose skeletals are used include:

UPDATE: Revisions made to certain entries.
UPDATE: Now with a higher res Ningyuansaurus skeletal, courtesy of the very generous
UPDATE: Made modifications as per the request of one of the artist.
