Majungasaurus (/ m ə ˌ dʒ ʌ ŋ ɡ ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s /; lit. ' Mahajanga lizard ') is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar from 70 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, making it one of the last-known non-avian dinosaurs that went extinct during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Image differs appreciably from known skeletal elements. Example: A Deinonychus reconstructed with four fingers. Image differs appreciably from implied skeletal elements (via phylogenetic bracketing). Example: An oviraptorid known only from postcranial elements reconstructed with teeth, a feature made highly improbable by its phylogenetic position.
But this recon looks wonderful so far! Big fan of the poses and composition. Along with the hallux thing, the Suchos' heads seem to be too robust here. I overlaid the skull image from the article, as well as Francisco Bruñen's skeletal in Krita, and their skulls are definitely too short. PσlєοGєєк ƧɊƲΔƦΣƉ 11:05, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
The proatlas is a small paired bone sitting in between the neural arch of the atlas (the first vertebra) and the base of the skull. The elements of each pair are triangular in shape, with the broad end articulating with the neural arch of the atlas, and the acute end with the exoccipital of the skull. Given its small size, the proatlas is ...
Majungasaurus - need a couple more pictures for this article, maybe a headshot and a full-body image? Anything would be great! Allosaurus: a head shot restoration would be nice (maybe an "A. atrox" versus A. fragilis comparison). If anyone feels up to it, a picture of Acro's skull as I think it is pretty cool looking (PDF here).
Unlike the skulls of abelisaurids, which are very deep, the skull of Masiakasaurus is long and low. The lacrimal and postorbital bones around the eye are textured with bumpy projections. Not including the highly modified jaws and teeth, the skull of Masiakasaurus possesses many general ceratosaurian characteristics. Overall, its morphology is ...
Photos of the Plesiotylosaurus skull (Note that upper skull is flattened) and Plotosaurus skull for reference. Macrophyseter | talk 03:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC) If they're based on a specimen that belongs to a different genus (as is clear from DB's image), yeah, they should be relabelled accordingly.
