Clanjones Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I am currently working on a diorama/sculpture featuring a Pinacosaurus, some Protoceratops, and maybe a Velociraptor or alvarezsaur. From what I understand from the papers I have read, the Djadokhta formation was a semi-arid to arid biome, but I can't find any information on what kind of vegetation would have been present at that time. Does anyone have any insight on what kind of plant life you would expect to see in a Cretaceous desert? Thanks in advance. Progress pics coming soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Sorry, I can´t help with the plant question, but that sounds lkie an interesting project. Looking forward to see it.

Clanjones Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 UPDATE The Pinacosaurus model is almost done. Apparently several individuals are known, including juveniles, but it is difficult to find good pictures of the fossils. The scute pattern isn't really known, so I took inspiration from the beautifully preserved scutes of Zuul crurivastator. Materials: Kato Polyclay aluminum foil and wire armature 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I don't think there are any fossil plants form the Djadochta. So we know nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
