For those that don't want to read, it appears that a new (well not new, millions of years old, but new to us) dinosaur has been discovered. It's a four legged Sauropod called a Brontomerus. For those that aren't up on their greek - Bronto means thunder, and Merus comes from Meros, which is thighs.

That's right. Paleontologists called it Thunderthighs. They speculate it used its large lady legs to kick would be predators to death. I expect Lizardmen conversions to start rolling in momentarily.

The artistic rendition is fantastic! I am in love with mama kickin the crap out of the little therapod-looking critter (with feathers, YAY!).

Chaos Lord Gir, are you a paleontologist, lizardman, or wielder of the thunderthigh kick?

The adult would have weighed about six tonnes - something like the size of a large modern elephant - and probably measured 14m in length.

pshaw

Apatosaurus (pronounced /əˌpætɵˈsɔrəs/), also known by the popular but scientifically obsolete synonym Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and early Tithonian ages).[1] It was one of the largest land animals that ever existed, with an average length of 23 m (75 ft) and a mass of at least 23 metric tons (25 short tons).
