Dilophosaurus Excerpt from Saint George Dinosaur Discovery Site Museum Intro Video

This video is a short excerpt from the museum intro video I created for the Saint George Dinosaur Discovery Site museum in Saint George Utah. For information about visiting this fascinating museum built over an early Jurassic dinosaur tracksite visit their website: utahdinosaurs....
Many small museums are struggling with the Covid 19 shutdown, and the Saint George Dinosaur Discovery Site is no exception. In fact their lead paleontologist Andrew Milner has been furloughed for several months now. If you'd like to help the Saint George Dinosaur Discovery Site get through this hard time, and help them make more projects like this possible, consider making a donation in support of the museum here: utahdinosaurs....
This section is a short explanation of the most up-to-date understanding of the early Jurassic dinosaur Dilophosaurus, based on the recent research of Paleontologist Dr. Adam Marsh (Petrified Forest National Park).
/ notthatmarsh
Paleontologist Dr. Adam Marsh's massive manuscript redescribing Dilophosaurus was published today by Cambridge University Press, which will generously provide this important volume as an open access publication in a few days. (I will add the Open Access link here as soon as the Open Access link is live)
Permalink to the paper here: doi.org/10.101...
The reconstruction of Dilophosaurus featured in this museum video for the Saint George Dinosaur Discovery Site is based on Adam's work, and is the only skull / head reconstruction that incorporates all of the known specimens, while also taking into account the 3 dimensional structure of the skull and crests. By observing the fossils in detail we recognized that the strange cranial crests of Dilophosaurus are in fact formed by dorsally expanded antorbital fenestrae, and thus would have been connected to the nasal sinuses, and thus would have been enclosed in a durable dermal covering or horny keratinous sheath, as is inferred for the pneumatic naso-lacrimal crests of many non-bird theropods.

I just realised they really need to bring back practical effects in documentaries.

[@defaulttheropod3670]

need to bring back good documentaries as a whole

I couldn't agree more with you both! Also it's nice to see you here too, Robin! :D

That Dilophosaurus puppet was so realistic that I literally had goosebumps while watching it move.

It was pretty ugly tbh...but I did appreciate the animation!

[@doomslayerex5886]

@@JesusGomez-ob2qt no that's just speculation, theres no solid evidence of what it exactly looked like .

[@kieriencrabtree]

@@doomslayerex5886 Exactly! This is just speculation but a pretty cool reconstruction non the less. There is no way of knowing for sure what this dinosaur looked like as of right now. It could have very easily had scales! I just don't really like the way he designed this puppet.. like the skin and the quill's...It just looks a bit over exaggerated tbh. But that's just my opinion, if you guys like it that's fine! I respect all opinions 👍

[@doomslayerex5886]

@@kieriencrabtree what is it supposed to look like

[@paulkuchnicki6404]

What I really liked about the video is that you’ve depicted Dilo as just an animal going through it’s life and not constantly roaring and opening its mouth up and down to bear its teeth! So much better representation of dinosaurs being animals than most documentaries I’ve seen!

[@GrootGuitar]

Couldn't agree harder with this if I tried.

[@samrizzardi2213]

Planet Dinosaur almost got it right, but this does it much better. Wild animals don't waste their breath.

[@paulkuchnicki6404]

sam rizzardi Do you mean Dinosaur Planet? I thought that that documentary was better than Planet Dinosaur

[@erkanselimkoc1763]

where can i watch it

[@illiteratedino]

I love the usage of puppets in this. It's so rare these days in special effects.

[@Francois2144]

I totally agree, I like it better when they use more animatronics or puppets. Most of the CGI don't turn out so great or look real enough. Also, I love that they didn't make this recreation of a dinosaur roar or act like those in the movies. I see other dino documentaries make the same mistake. They were real animals, not imaginary beasts that roared at everything for every five minutes.

[@karenboy1005]

That really makes me want to see more dinosaur documentaries using practical effects.

[@SpinoDragonProductions]

May I say this is definitely the year for new reconstructions? Seriously, this is an amazing discovery. This is the best year for paleontology by far!

[@IceSpoon]

Just wait until Ibrahim writes yet another paper of Spinosaurus lol

[@MajorBubbly]

gosh, as being someone who's built a dinosaur puppet, and a lover of practical dinosaur effects, that dilo puppet is superb, i really wanna get better at building realistic dinosaur puppets, so I've gotta ask how has this made?

[@SharksandDinos]

First Allosaurus Jimmadseni, then a Spinosaurus tail, now the hollow but thick crest of Dilophosaurus? Man, this year is the year when dinosaurs we thought we knew found a way to surprise us!

[@PrehistoricMagazine]

Rewatching this again. Jurassic world dominion should hire you for your fantastic practical effects. You should be brought in to help them out with a dilophosaur scene

[@Primordial_Soup]

I love how long and pointy the dewclaw is on the foot!

[@rollo6038]

Brilliant art and videos, wish I could find the background music somewhere its really creepy lol. The puppets really get the effect across, if you ever look a large bird in the eye it pretty much looks straight through you emotionless which is what this does really adds the sinister edge.

[@HistorianHimself]

Soon.

[@minedroftdiaz2089]

Omg the best dilophosaurus, it looks so real and natural. Well, time to draw it

[@brianlevine871]

That Dilophosaurus puppet was amazing! It's incredibly life-like, as if it came from an episode of WWD.

[@Appleboxman]

Amazing puppet. This made me so nostalgic for old dino documentaries that used practical effects. It looks so much nicer than budget CGI.

[@RepKyle95]

Dilophosaurus is my favorite dinosaur! It has always been my dream to excavate and prep a specimen. I really wish more functional morphology and paleoecology work was done on this cool, early Jurassic Theropod!

[@brycevo]

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

So in other words. The Dilophosaurus was basically a oversized Cassowary. That would explain much about that bird in-fact. It thinks its a Dilophosaurus! :D. Jokes aside that is amazing practical work on the puppet. Its very bird like in appearance and very realistic. Only thing i wonder about is if the animal had more feathers or not.

I guess the crested Allo reconstructions from way back when weren't that far off...

[@BrianEnghArt]

Yes, Allosaurus crests are highly variable and some specimens (such as the one mounted at the Smithsonian, have pretty tall crests.

[@kieriencrabtree]

@@BrianEnghArt Hey Brian, are you sure the Dilo's crests were fused together? Because I'm really confused. It just doesn't make since! What's the point in having two bone crests on it's head just for them to be fused together? Wouldn't it make sense if it just had one bone crest instead of two? That's why I'm confused, I just don't think they were fused together.

[@jaisanatanrashtra7035]

Damn bro that was epic 👌👍

[@benhayes8733]

That puppet is amazing! Who made it?

[@BrianEnghArt]

I designed this puppet and built it with the help of a small crew of friends who I often work with. Paleontologist Yara Haridy helped me build some of the understructure. My friends Thomas Wilson and Vernon Saringo helped sculpt the skin. My friends JJ Conway and Marnie Brumder helped me build the mold, and Marnie helped me paint it.

[@bumholekid1383]

Does your model have sub tympanic plates? Or is that just some neck fat. Also does it have a dewlap as well?

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

It looks like one of those made up Dinosaurs “The Slashers” from Terra Nova. I doubt the same workshop worked on this actual reconciliation of the Double crested lizard. What? That’s the name meaning of Dilophosaurus.

[@evelynree54]

I mean, it's still cool I honestly think that dilophosaurus looks more threatening than before. Plus the whole point of the model of dilophosaurus was to go for realism not a movie monster that spits acid.

[@miquelescribanoivars5049]

Given many birds have feathered eyelashes, particularly desert dwelling ones, that seems quite plausible.

[@housel9352]

It's supposed to look realistic, not pretty

[@kieriencrabtree]

@@housel9352 it doesn't really look realistic to me.. it looks pretty over exaggerated. It has skin that looks like it's made out of bark.
