About this mod

A collection of edits to either remake the Metriacanthosaurus or transform it into one of other two dinosaur genera.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
With this simple mod you'll be able to transform your in-game Metriacanthosaurus into one of three different dinosaur genera.

A full list of the general changes:
- reshaped the brow crests to a more fitting shape depending on the species
- enlarged jaw muscolature (m .Pterygoideus ventralis)
- resized the m. Transversospinalis Capitis and Trapezius to properly attach to the parietal bone (reshaped the neck)
- made the neck slightly thicker with a more evident dewlap
- gave the animals gastralias and coracoid bones
- evidenced the scapulae
- evidenced Illium, Ischium and Pubis
- made the spine more apparent and in line with fossil evidence
- remade the tail in thickness and posture

A list of the changes to Metriacanthosaurus parkeri (Given the poorly known nature of the dinosaur, many of the cranial features of the model have been based and reconstructed on its close cousins by means of phylogenesis):
- made the Premaxilla and nasal narrower
- enlarged the brow crests to better resemble close cousin
- reshaped the posterior section of the skull to have a more accurate shape based on known specimens of the family (Squamosal and Quadrate)
- made the dental bone of the jaw narrower

A list of the changes to Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis:
- made the Premaxilla and Nasal bone steeper and higher, reflecting fossil evidence
- made the brow crests much more evident
- Made the Dewlap much larger for aesthetic purposes
- made the dentary bone of the jaw thicker
- reduced neck muscolature to coincide with the parietal bone

A list of the changes to Concavenator corcovatus:
- adjusted the skull shape to a proper, Carcharodontosaurid, one (Nasal and Premaxilla to the correct shape, made the Squamosal, Quadrate and Jugal bone match fossil evidence)
- made the brow crests follow the whole length of Nasal bone up to the Lacrimal
- reshaped the antorbital fenestrae to match fossil evidence for the species
- reshaped the Dentary bone to a proper shape
-reshaped the teeth in size, distribution and incidence to be more accurate to the species
- gave the animal the characteristic spine bump that made the species notable
