Summary

Description

Parksosaurus warreni restoration,

• Based proportionally on a skeletal diagram by Gregory S Paul. [1]
• The skin details in this image are speculative but based loosely on related dinosaurs. Until recently most skin impressions from Ornithischians showed circular or polygonal scales but these were from larger hadrosaurs and ceratopsians. In 2009 the Heterodontosaur Tianyulong was described which shows filamentous quill like structures along its back and underside. [2] In 2014 Kulindadromeus was described and showed a mix of feather like structures and scales. [3]
• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.

NOTE: I often update my images. If you want to have any of my images on a website, please (if possible) don’t host/save it to the website server. I’d prefer it if the image's Wikimedia URL is used. This means that if I update an image, it will be updated on the site as well. Thanks.
