Scientifically accurate paleoart of Syntarsus, a carnivore Theropoda dinosaur from Rhaetian–Pliensbachian times (205.7–184.2 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. 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. Reference: Syntarsus is a generic name that has been used for the following taxa:Syntarsus a junior synonym of the Colydiinae beetle genus Cerchanotus Erichson, 1845. Syntarsus kayentakatae is the former name of a theropod dinosaur later classified as Megapnosaurus, but is now not definitively assigned to any specific genus. Syntarsus rhodesiensis is the former name of a theropod dinosaur later classified as Megapnosaurus. Anatomy: three main weight-bearing toes on each foot. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a Jurassic landscape with conifers, cycads, ginkgoes and ferns, no grass and no flowering plants. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.
