I didnt knew ostafriko was a ceratosaurusid, o well, all my info that i gave to my little brother was false, upps, i love the model looks like the one in jwtg and as well i wouldnt use allo model i would actually use a majunga, cause u know he wasnt that big.
Actually Optimus, as of the most recent study looking into Ostafrikasaurus it's been concluded to have been a ceratosaurid. the spinosaurid conclusion was reached by means of some arbitrary factors that proved to be unreliable.
man, I thought the idea of ??putting a light protuberance as the start of a spinosaurus candle as the justification of Ingen of using the spinosaurus genes to complete, was great, congratulations for the incredible detail!
I think I prefer it to be more paleontologically accurate, I would love for you to base it on a Baryonyx or a Suchomimus, since it is a Spinosaurid, and it would be great if it ate fish. Let me know if this is possible.
Impossible to be paleontologically accurate when Ostafrikasaurus is based on a few isolated teeth. Most recent analysis (Soto et al. 2020) indicates it is more likely a ceratosaurid than a spinosaurid.
In the end, it is not certain how it will be, due to the few fossils found and incomplete. But it seems that if it was more related to the spinosaurids, it would have more similarity to them. For which, anyway, thank you very much for the great contribution of the MOD.
Link to Soto et al. 2020. It's behind a paywall but you can access it with sci-hub. The discussion of Ostafrikasaurus's affinities are on page 13. The teeth lack any unambiguous spinosaurid features and are similar to the mesial teeth of Ceratosaurus.
Generalninja955, was there only a few Troodon teeth found? I might be reading your comment wrong, but I though they were able to get a full Troodon skeleton.
people saying it should be more paleontologically accurate or more unique but I say no. I love the jwtg model and wouldn't like any other model for this dinosaur. Good job man. Would you keep the jwtg models? No one actually does them and that makes them unique already.
