Auspex Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Golden Eagle If you mean Mesozoic dinosaur, then I would say Avisaurus archibaldi.

Tyrannoraptor Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hmm, now that's a tough one for me. If I had to choose, I'd choose from these: T. rex, Allosaurus, Triceratops and probably some Dromaeosaurid species (doesn't matter which, I'm interested in "Raptors" in general). All which I now have fossils of. Each of them is unique in one way or another, which makes the choice even more difficult. Hmm... I say Tyrannosaurus rex wins for me, but it wasn't an easy choice. There's just something about that magnificent animal that other dinosaur predators, even if bigger, simply can't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Dilophosaurus would have to be mine.. I love that one! Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas-Tunnel Rat Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Dilophosaurus would have to be mine.. I love that one! I was going to say the same Genus of Dinosaur! I do like those early Ceratosaura. Dilophosaurus is the dinosaur I want to put my name in the Paleo books when I get into Graduate's School.

Diplotomodon Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 dryptosaurus aquilungus I think you just stole mine But hey, it's a Jersey thing. To be honest I have many favorites. All manner of tyrannosauroids, of course (Guanlong is a biggie, so is Drypto), and then I really like therizinosaurs as well. I've had a recent love of omnivoropterygids (look it up ) for some reason, although I'm not quite sure why. Oh, and raptors. So basically my favorites are tyrannosaurs and maniraptorans What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858 Formerly known on the forum as Crimsonraptor @Diplotomodon on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32fordboy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Auspex, I once saw a golden eagle sitting on a rock in Wyoming. He was so MASSIVE I swear the tips of his slowly-flapping wings hit the ground as he was taking off. I'm not too sure what the max span is for those guys, but he must have been pushing it. I saw a bird "defy physics" that day. My favorite dino would have to be Mr Rex, the Cretaceous Grizzly Bear.

Diplotomodon Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 On the topic of big birds, there was an eagle here in Jersey a few days ago. A BALD eagle. Which I did manage to spot. Very quickly becoming a favorite avian dinosaur What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata?
