Trike:

Chasmosaurus:

Centrosaurus:

I couldn't get many pics for Centrosaurus, but it's AMNH 5427 if ye wanna go on a quest yerselves.

But other than the slight difference in the round scales for trike, it seems that representatives for both centrosaurines and chasmosaurines share pretty similar, scaly integument.
I posted these a few pages back.

Are Megaraptorids Allosauroids or Tyrannosauroids?

Rat snake is love... Rat snake is life

Would it be possible for a very large male Geosternbergia to carry a full-size or maybe a smaller adult Sinocalliopteryx?

Sorry, if this question seems weird.... It's for literature. :P

Very unlikely, Sinocalliopteryx is too big for a Geosternbergia to pick up, infact a Sinocalliopteryx might be able to attack it easily.

What's the likelihood of the bosses atop pachyrhinosaurus's nose supporting keratinous horns like those of a rhino.

Next to none. That's an outdated and improbable theory IIRC.

originally, one_piece

about the t rex feathers, probably the biggest debate ever, it is also highly likely that it have feathers, but exactly where? i know that there are skin impressions of it that shows it had scales, but i don't know where on the rex did that skin came from? i heard it was the belly (i cant seems to find an image of that fossil on google either)

so we can be sure that tyrannosaurus rex definitely have scale along with feathers, so perhaps a fully coated feather rex:

is not so accurate, maybe something less, like this:

with a scaly belly (many think this one is by far the most plausible reconstruction). and though there are many people who drawn feathered rex, very few give it feathers on it's face, like this one:

(personal favorite, by John Conway the great)

it was only confirm that t rex likely to had feathers thanks to the discovery of Yutyrannus with feathers fossil, like shown in this reconstruction:

but is it accurate and on where of the animal did the fossil feathers came from?

i know it's probably would be impossible to make a perfect rex with the limited knowledge we have right now, but i still want to creat the most plausible tyrant lizard king ever! so any idea would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for telling me. I didn't know that the theory is outdated.

I think this was debated either earlier on in this topic, but in another topic. Either way, we did cover some ground on this.

Quote:
 
The feet were plated. A bit like the feet of larger groundbirds. Ostriches really. This is simple enough.

But based on the rather small fragments we have over a certain distribution, interpretations get a bit muddled up. The integument we have for the underside of the tail for example are small, scale-like features. (If the link doesn't take you to the pic itself, scroll down to page 46 for an example).

Of course, it looks scaly. If anything, it looks almost identical to a certain large animal we all know and love. Here's a sample of the skin.

And another. Hint: The answer's in the link.

Still no clue? Try this.

Give up? Ok then.

So currently there's a bit of a division between whether the integument was scaly or leather. The problem lies in the fact that despite being photographed and documented, no formal scientific descriptions have been done on ANY tyrannosaur integument.

was there feathers on the tyrannosaurus's legs?

IIRC it was said previously on the topic that a fossil shows the legs didn't have feathers.
