Back to our regularly scheduled blog posts...
June 12, 2011
Apologies for my multi-week absence. I had to finish up some large projects. I’m embarking some new cool ones as well, and I’ll tell you about them as soon as I can. In the mean time, I’ll be getting back to posting blogs on dinosaur anatomy, as well as another series I have in mind on skeletal poses. If you have any ideas of topics you’d like to see, please leave them below. In the meantime, enjoy this skeletal drawing of Stokesosaurus, a tyrannosauroid that lived during the Late Jurassic of North America:

Well that's cool! I didn't know there were Jurassic tyrannosaurids in North America. I'm glad you're back. I was worried Skeletal Drawings had gone extinct!
Great to see life signs of your blog again :)
If it's ok with you, I'd love to read some day something about locomotion in maniraptors (at least those without a largely "tail-propelled" locomotion system), how their legs worked without such a massive caudofemoralis - would the "lightness" of the tail affect the posture in keeping the feet below the center of gravity, etc. Bet it'd include some interesting stuff paleoart-wise, too.
@vistamper - never extinct! Lots of good stuff coming.
@anarchosauromorpha - I think a whole series of articles on motion would be a good idea, although that will take a decent amount of prep.
This'll be S. cleelandi?
@Vasika S. clevelandi, yes. Although it incorporates elements of S. langhami, so it's sort of a composite Stokesosaurus.
