Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Now you might be asking, what sets Carcharodontosaurids and Tyrannosaurids apart?

Well, a lot actually.

Their skulls, their teeth, their environments, the time periods they dominated, and just overall builds.

Tyrannotitan, a large theropod from the Early Cretaceous period.

It was related to other Carcharodontosaurids like Giganorosaurus and Mapusaurus. Though it was bulkier than both.

Tyrannotitan was likely the top predator in its environment and hunted herbivores.

Which is likely to have included older, sick or juvenile sauropods.

What’s that? You want another dino fact? Gosh y’all are demanding.

Tyrannotitan.

You’re probably thinking, “Wow, that must have been a pretty big Tyrannosaur right?”

Wrong.

It was actually a large Carcharodontosaurid that lived in the Early Cretaceous period of what is now Argentina.

I definitely get the appeal of just walking into the woods and disappearing.

Which helps us better understand the evolution of theropods in general.

It’s discovery also helped support the relationship between dinosaurs and birds.

Maybe one day we will find another specimen and get to learn even more from these small little babies.

Segisaurus, a small bipedal theropod from the Early Jurassic.

Arlo x͜× @feraldactal.bsky.social · 1d

The discovery of Segisaurus is significant because it had bird like features, like a flexible neck and clavicles.

The discovery of its clavicles were extremely important because it gives us evidence that the clavicle was primitively present in early theropods.

I suppose I could give you another dino fact.

Segisaurus, it was a coelophysoid that lived in the Early Jurassic and was approximately 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length.

We only have one specimen, a sub adult, that was found in 1933 in Arizona.

I was curious and wanted to see how much money I have spent on books this year.

I should have stayed out of my own business.

I had absolutely no right digging into my own finances.

The Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert is really good.

The Hell Bent series by Aurora Ascher has been a pretty fun time.

The Souls Trilogy by Harley Laroux is top tier.

And I don’t know if your wife likes cowboys, but the Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage was a great time.

Arlo x͜× @feraldactal.bsky.social · 1d

Told myself I wasn’t going to buy any books when I went out today.

But no one tells me what to do, not even me.
