Elliot Starr

Hello!

My name is Elliot Starr (they/them) and this is my side blog for dinosaur stuff! I love all dinos but my favs are Therizinosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Dreadnoughtus. I also love pterosaurs, particularly azdarchids <3

Content I make will be tagged with #els dinos

Here are some links to dino stuff I've made:

Dino Sheet (spreadsheet of all known dinos)

Dino Doc (same info as spreadsheet, just organized different)

Paleoecology (lists dinosaurs by the fossil formations where they're known from)

Dino Environments (grouping dinosaurs together that shared paleoenvironments)

Ptero Sheet (spreadsheet for all known pterosaurs (very incomplete)

Feel free to comment, ask, or dm me dino-related things!

Basic rules for this blog:

- No hate will be tolarated

- No AI allowed

- Keep it relativly sfw

New Dino Alert!

Just hours ago (as of posting this) the discovery of Kank australis was announced, representing a new genus of unenlagiidid theropod from Argentina.

Unenlagidae contains small Paravian theropods including Unenlagia, Neuquenraptor, Austroraptor, Buitraptor, Pyroraptor, Diuquin, and Ypupiara.

Another amazing discovery by Diego Pol and his team in Patagonia 🇦🇷🦖

Dinosaur fans:

Tell me your birth year (or a random year) and I’ll give you a dino that was named that year!

For example: I was born in 2007 which was the same year Dongbeititan was named! 🦕

Have you ever thought to yourself: “man, I wish there was a list of every dinosaur known to science that allows you to categorize dinos by clade, location, year discovered, or time period!”

Well look no further folks because I’ve been working on exactly that for the past 2 years as a passion project!

Presenting: El’s Dino Sheet 🦕

I hope you enjoy <3 feel free to comment here, dm me, or comment on the doc itself with any info you think is missing!

Nagatitan marks the first sauropod found in the Khok Kruat Formation of Thailand and represents the largest known dinosaur from the country! 🇹🇭🦕

Below is the link to a NPR arcticle about the discovery!
