Could the V. rex survive the Mesozoic? This movie monster will be placed into the Huincul Formation of Cretaceous Argentina, facing off against iconic prehistoric giants like Mapusaurus, Argentinosaurus, Meraxes, Taurovenator, and Limaysaurus. Vastatosaurus was a fifteen-tonne armored theropod from Skull Island that was the island’s apex predator, driving the Megaprimatus kong to near-extinction. But does V. rex have what it takes to face off against Cretaceous South America’s most dangerous formation? Will the V. rex thrive…or be eaten alive?

![Acrocanthosaurus Appreciation Day
Acrocanthosaurus atokensis is a gigantic carcharodontosaurid theropod from the Early Cretaceous of North America. It was nearly as big as famous giants like Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus, but is underrated in paleontology culture. Lets explore what makes Acrocanthosaurus such an awesome dinosaur.
