The ceratopid Nasutoceratops. It has a large beaked mouth and nose. While not having a nose horn, it's brow horns were some of the largest of any ceratopsid, being wideset similar to a Texas Longhorn bull. It's small frill is lined with small spiky osteoderms. It's stout body is striped in sunset colors. A cascade from a pale yellow underbelly, orange limbs and sides and a light and dark purple striping on it's back and head.

Today's dino is Nasutoceratops! This late Cretaceous ceratopsid dinosaur is known for it's large nose and wide-set brow horns, reminiscent of the Texas Longhorn bull of today. @tundrakatiebean.bsky.social suggested a sunset patterning :). #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

The late Cretaceous theropod Carnotaurus! It had tiny vestigial forelimbs. It's well known feature were the two horns over each of it's eyes, a feature unseen in any other carnivorous dinosaurs. This one has a light beige skin tone with brown striping on the tip of it's tail, it's thighs, over it's forelimbs and over it's eyes and horns. It's underbelly is a pale creamy color. It's destintive markings include a baby blue marking on the lower jaw and hints of the same blue on the undersides of it's small forelimbs.

Today's dino is actually a revisit to the very first one I drew in this style back in '24, the late Cretaceous theropod, Carnotaurus! Ended up doing it in the same colors :). I stuck with some features of the original style but went for more realistic proportions #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

Achelousaurus, the centrosaurine ceratopsid. On his nose and eye ridges are thick boney build-ups called bosses. It has a large beaked mouth. His head frill has two large spikes at the top that curve outward. It's coloration is inspired by the bearded vulture. It's face is white with black sides on the muzzle with red rimming the frill. His body is red with a dark grey striping along his back and tail. His underbelly is white.

This is Achelousaurus, a centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous. Unlike most centrosaurine ceratopsids who had horns on their nose & eye ridges, Achelousaurus instead had thick bony build-ups called bosses. #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

Jinfengopteryx, the small maniraptoran dinosaur. The single fossilized specimen had plenty of feathers. It's hind legs had small sickled talons like many maniraptorans. It has a brown colored body with the tips of it's forelimb feathers and tail feathers a warm yellow color. It's standing up a little taller, it's tail arched up displaying it's large feathers.

Deinonychus, the Dromaeosaurid Theropod. It was covered in feathers along the top of it's body. It had large sickle-like talons on it's hind feet. It had a narrow snout full of sharp teeth. It's brown in color with mottled darker brown coloration along it's back and tail. It's underbelly is a pale cream. It's muzzle, hands and feet are all a warm grey.

Today we have Deinonychus, the Dromaeosaurid Theropod that lived from the early Cretaceous to the late Cretaceous. The inspiration for the velociraptors in Jurassic Park (since the real Velociraptors were much smaller than their Hollywood version) #CapsDinos #Paleoart #Dinosaur

Borealopelta, the nodosaurid ankylosaur. It's neck, back and tail are all lined with rows of spiked osteoderms. The largest of these spikes collect around it's shoulders and neck. It's tail is tapered similar to other nodosaurids. Minerals around the fossils suggest it had a pinkish red coloring. The underbelly of this one has two layers of pale green.

The large tyrannosaurid Tarbosaurus. It has a large head with equally large jaws. It has two powerful hind legs and tiny, two clawed front limbs. It has a long, powerful tail. He's positioned looking forward with his head lifted up and looking to our right. It has it's mouth wide open, showing his large sharp teeth. It has a cream underbelly. It has a rust colored body with darker brown along it's back and head. Over the dark brown are leopard-style spots, with beige rings and darker brown middles.

Breviceratops, the late Cretaceous protoceratopsid. It has a small head crest and a narrow beaked mouth. It was a tiny dinosaur, coming up to the ankles of a 6ft human. It's standing up on it's hind legs as it looks back over it's shoulder and is crying out. It's a light forest green with darker striping on the end of it's tail and along it's shoulders and thighs. It's underbelly is a pale cream. It's head crest has vibrant orange striping.

The early Cretaceous theropod Neovenator. It has a long tail, a large head with big powerful jaws, and long limbs ending in claws. I took inspiration from the Brown Hyena; it's body is a brown color wiht it's neck and limbs being a white color with dark brown striping on its limbs. It's head and digits are all a dark grey. This one is posed walking towards the view, looking off to the side with it's mouth open.

Today's dino is the early Cretaceous theropod Neovenator! It's family ties have been debated, at one time being a sister taxon to Allosaurus to later being considered a "cousin" of the taxon. #CapsDinos #Dinosaur #Paleoart

Oohkotokia, the late Cretaceous ankylosaurid. It had rows of spikey armored osteoderms down along it's back and tail. It has a large boney club-like form at the end of it's tail. It has a rusty orange color with a pale clay color along it's underbelly
