A while ago I made a quick sketch on top of Scott Hartman 's skeletal of Gryposaurus to illustrate what the Fabbri et al. (2019) hadrosaur skin study really meant and didn't mean in terms of hadrosaur coloration. I ended up liking the sketch so much that I cleaned up and upscaled it, and then that cleaned up version was so nice I kept working on it, and eventually it morphed into this illustration with its faux vintage nature illustration style and whole new scale silhouette (based on a photograph of an unknown US citizen around the time the first Gryposaurus specimen was found).Gryposaurus is a hadrosaur genus from the Late Cretaceous North America. It was a medium-sized saurolophine contemporary with the famous Parasaurolophus as well as such charismatic dinosaurs as Chasmosaurus, Centrosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Dromaeosaurus and Ornithomimus. It had a fairly prominent nasal hump that almost certainly acted as a visual structure, and its preserved skin shows patterns of scales of varying sizes and a row of distinctive feature scales running down its back. While we do not know what color Gryposaurus was, this illustration was intended to show one possibility consistent with the available data.You may note that the thighs of this animal are slimmer than we're used to from hadrosaur reconstructions. This is due to new more up to date muscle reconstructions by Matt Dempsey who helped me get this detail up to date. If you're into dinosaur anatomy, you should give his gallery a look. A special thanks goes to Adamsaurus02 who helped me with the tail soft tissue and feature scales by providing photos of preserved tissue.
