Prompt used to create the image

Scientifically accurate paleoart of Mapusaurus, a carnivore Carcharodontosauridae dinosaur from Albian times (110.1–106.3 million years ago). Bipedal with the back held roughly horizontal and the tail held straight out behind for balance, never dragging on the ground. NOT standing upright like a kangaroo. Mouth closed with all teeth fully hidden behind scaly lips, like a monitor lizard. NO visible teeth. Hands held tucked in near the chest with the palms facing inward toward each other, like clapping, claws curving inward and forward. NOT hanging down, NOT palms-down, NOT claws pointing at the ground. A long, low, narrow skull with blade-like teeth, NOT the broad deep skull of Tyrannosaurus. Reference: Mapusaurus is a genus of giant carcharodontosaurid dinosaur that lived in Argentina during the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous. It is known from a bonebed of between seven and nine specimens, excavated from the strata of the Huincul Formation between 1997 and 2001 as part of the Argentinian-Canadian Dinosaur Project. In 2006, Rodolfo Coria and Philip J. Currie scientifically described Mapusaurus. Anatomy: three main weight-bearing toes on each foot; an animal about 13 meters long, short arms with three clawed fingers, powerful hind legs, skin of small scales. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in an Early Cretaceous landscape with conifers, cycads, ferns and rare early flowering plants, no grass. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.
