Description
It's kind of funny. I have a love for paleontology and paleoart. Yet I've done little for paleoart as the years progressed since I been progressing with Saurian Prophecies. Then again, it has dinosaurs in it so its still paleoart in some form. Unfortunately, I'm in a burn out from the series. I'm not shelving it, I'm just going to take a short break. So heres some paleoart for you all. Here's Acrocanthosaurus atokensis.

Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, The Atoka High Spined Lizard, was a carcharodontosaurid that existed in what is now North America during the Aptian and early Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous, from 113-110 million years ago. Remains are found mainly in the U.S. states of Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming, although teeth, a tibia, and vertebrae attributed to Acrocanthosaurus have been found as far east as Maryland, suggesting a continent-wide range. As the name suggests, it is best known for the high neural spines on many of its vertebrae, which most likely supported a ridge of muscle over the animal's neck, back, and hips. Acrocanthosaurus was one of the largest theropods, with the largest known specimen reaching 36–38 ft in length and weighing approximately 4.9–7.3 short tons. Large theropod footprints discovered in Texas may have been made by Acrocanthosaurus, although there is no direct association with fossil remains. Recent discoveries have explained many details of its anatomy, allowing for specialized studies focusing on its brain structure and forelimb function. Acrocanthosaurus was the largest theropod in its ecosystem and was apex predator which snacked on sauropods, ornithopods, and ankylosaurs.

Believe it or not, this dinosaur was going to be in Saurian Prophecies before it became Saurian Prophecies. I even have the original sketches too. Perhaps later on I'll upload the sketches for you to see.

Thats all for now, and remember, enjoy the little things!
