Prompt used to create the image

Scientifically accurate paleoart of Siamraptor, a carnivore Carcharodontosauridae dinosaur from Aptian times (121.4–113.2 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. A long, low, narrow skull with blade-like teeth, NOT the broad deep skull of Tyrannosaurus. Reference: Siamraptor is an extinct genus of carcharodontosaurian dinosaur, containing the single species S. suwati, known from the Khok Kruat Formation of Thailand. It is the first definitive named carcharodontosaurian species known from Southeast Asia. Anatomy: hands held with palms facing each other (not pronated, not palms-down, not dangling); three main weight-bearing toes on each foot; a large animal about 8 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 floodplain like the Khok Kruat Formation of northeastern Thailand, warm and semi-arid 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.

Siamraptor was a large carcharodontosaurian predator found in Nakhon Ratchasima province, and one of the biggest meat-eaters ever discovered in Thailand.

Fun facts

  • Siamraptor fossils come from several individuals mixed together, which helped scientists piece together much of its body.
  • It belongs to the same group as Carcharodontosaurus, which included some of the largest land predators of their time.

Who lived alongside it

Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Siamraptor (Khok Kruat), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.

Parts found as fossils

  • Skull
  • Lower jaw
  • Neck vertebrae
  • Back vertebrae
  • Tail vertebrae

Holotype: the back of a right lower jaw. Isolated bones from the same site, such as skull pieces and vertebrae, have been referred to it. Referred limb and hip pieces (a hand claw, part of a shin bone, a toe bone and two partial ischia) are not shown.

Note: this genus, or which bones belong to it, is still debated.

Coloured areas are parts of the skeleton with fossil bones found so far (sometimes just one bone in that area); faint areas have not been found. The outline is a general shape for its group, not this dinosaur's real body.
