My names Scott, Might remember me, Might not. I'm here to say that my home town has been infested with dinosaurs, We had to move a different country, Which is france, But i found a tape and it said ''The Stalk Files' 'And when i put it in a player this clock showed up.
Inostrancevia:so this is the enterance huh…
Victorian Abomination:uhh…. Probably not-*realisation* ok it is, you can enter
Inostrancevia: let’s go!
Sarcosuchus: dude! *sigh* well I have to follow…hey evil pterosaur, let’s go then
”a mysterious force that Victorian abomination was talking about grabs the trio and leads them into something different but also makes some of you feel nostalgic but this is not what you would expect
The trio were sent into some kind of apartment or a large house with furniture that came from the 1800’s-1920’s
Inostrancevia:ok, and look evil pterosaur is going inside a jar
Sarcosuchus:what does that have to do, he can break it easily
Inostrancevia:well not on this form, the evil pterosaur is not on his full form and is now a sentient dog or mist or gas or whatever you wanna call it..
Sarcosuchus:………………………….really dude?
Inostrancevia:well we could call it a day but this place- *intense shock* what? This is even the “vintage” universe that the abomination was talking about?
Sarcosuchus:well this place looks like the 1930’s so it should be the vintage universe right?
Inostrancevia: oh well, let’s keep going- *the jar with evil pterosaur in it’s gaseous form inside it slipped from his back*
“Sarco the looks down at ino in dissapointmess as the jar is broken into pieces, and evil pterosaur is free from it and dosen’t have to stick in it’s smelliness and thought it’s not a good idea*
Sarcosuchus:really dude? Now you broke it
Inostrancevia:uhhhhhhhh-
Sarcosuchus:ok ignore that, let’s just go to somewhere else
Inostrancevia:well there’s a door below stairs but we can’t open it because we need someone to come with us
Sarcosuchus:oh I see where your comming from that burūrenzu is a human so we need her when exploring quote-on-quote “manmade places”
Inostrancevia:yeah, those places
”it turns out burūrenzu came following the trio just before the enterance is closed, she opens the door leading into somewhere different, the trio start to feel isolation only because there’s non one else here and it’s just emptiness all around”
Burūrenzu:oh, uhhhh this is odd like why is there an electrical station entered from the door at the end of the stairs?
Inostrancevia:well I don’t care, let evil pterosaur lead the way
“The other members of the trio then followed evil pterosaur’s trail to where they would go next and that grey and white apartment is also empty, the trio then felt nervous that what if a scary monster jumps out and scares them away but ino is brave enough to step into the eerie feeling of isolation when sarco follows him”
Inostrancevia:this apartment is very eerie and feels isolated, please don’t tell me
Sarcosuchus:well dosen’t that feel vintageness now?
Inostrancevia:idk what your talking about but I think that the “vintage” universe is connected to another that gives you an isolated feeling
Sarcosuchus:pfff isolated? It looks norma to me
Inostrancevia:well it looks like there’s two universes connected together
(you can guess what the other universe is)
Sarcosuchus:how does that even work?
Inostrancevia:well it is possible because there might be a wormhole or they collided into one
Sarcosuchus:idk where your getting this from but we should keep going, what will await us
Inostrancevia:oh well, comrades
Sarcosuchus:what?
Inostrancevia:yeah yeah, idk what I’m saying anymore
”the trio then walked through the large hallway then notice a wall of them and there’s another direction so they go there, ino found some broken furniture,flower pots and water bottles then after a few minutes of exploring, they noticed a broken wall so they go through there, it looks like there are sleeping mats, broken celling lights and a vintage computer, so what’s even the point of them being there in an apartment anyway?”
Sarcosuchus:huh, this place it’s good for resting but could me better if there’s water and a swampy enviorment
Inostrancevia:comrade, do you want this place to be flooded-
Sarcosuchus:we’ll I wasn’t meant to say that, i’m a crocodilian you know!?
Inostrancevia:yeah?
Sarcosuchus:well crocs actually rest in shores and freshwater or saltwater lakes or rivers
Inostrancevia:ok I get it now, we’re we supposed to exit this eerie building now?
Sarcosuchus:i don’t see why not
“the trio then got out of the place and back to the apartment when they saw an open door on the hallway, things are starting to get a little more serious when dromeosaurids discovered the trio, got curious about who they are and moves through the apartment hallway”
“They then entered through the open door leading to a bar, evil pterosaur then covered the doorway with fog/mist but it’s just some gas out of water vapor, it dosen’t help, ino then finds a place to rest, sarco then also rested later when suddenly…”
Pyroraptor:huh, a crocodilian and a synapsid, I’m curious well, dromeosaurids, let’s go check it out
(Don’t ask why it’s the only modern depiction here in the vintage universe)
Velociraptor:hey uh, our vintage selfs, wanna come check it out
vintage dromeosaurid dinosaur depictions: well we don’t see why not
To Be Continued…
So…you might be wondering: how did you care up with the idea of the Victorian abomination? Well lemme tell you that…
Back a few days ago, I was thinking of a chimera (not really, I just think of something else-) and maybe I got the idea that gives a “vintage paleontology vibes” yeah like the 1850-1920’s so I decided to do: allosaurus and a few 1970’s depictions but I was like: no probably not a good idea so I used Victorian era dinosaurs instead (like uhh… dinosaurs that are discovered in the Victorian era from 1837-1901.those being: megalosaurus, iguanodon and hylaeosaurus
So I had that idea instead, head onto a drawing app which I used all the time, add some spiky appendages and boom!
Character design is done!
*a few days later after ino & tarbo vs t rex*
"the skies become naturally foggy and cloudy, blizzards occured, snow is blown from the near-ground winds and ino and tarbo are almost freezing from the freezing tempratures...
Inostrancevia and tarbosaurus then fell down onto the snow couldn't get up while the freezing climate takes over almost felt like they are covered in ice...
The blizzard then becomes more extreme and snow completely covering the two... the blizzard stopped and they rested there for a few weeks, the anti-archosaur group squad panicked and thinked that a archosaur killed inostrancevia while basilosaurus and lystrosaurus are not...
As it turns out, the two are not completely buried in snow as some parts of their bodies are exposed...which caught an attention of a strange creature when it's walking on a stroll...
The creature then digs up and uncovered them and found ino and tarbo dead from the freezing cold tempratures...
Ino and tarbo are finally revived and woke up only to see the creature that found them..."
"It's the victorian abomination, a creature that looks straight out of a 1850's-1920's hybrid-animal...
and it also looks like a mix between vintage depictions of the first-three dinosaurs ever discovered: megalosaurus, iguanodon and hylaeosaurus... it looked down to ino...
Victorian abomination:hey, you woke up...
Inostrancevia:hey... what happend?
Victorian abomination:well you died and i revived you
Inostrancevia:oh yeah, the revival central machine thingy being used... but wheres tarbosaurus anyway?
Victorian abomination: he's resting, he'll wake up soon enough
Inostrancevia: so uhhhh......hey, what are you guys?
Victorian abomination:well, i'm a literal abomination that's all
Inostrancevia:hmm... okay? what your doings before you found us?
Victorian abomination: ok but i just wanna walk on a stroll on the arctic snow then i found you guys...
Inostrancevia:hmm... i see
Victorian abomination:well i came from the vintage universe...then i ended up here from some mysterious forces like that...
Inostrancevia:ok yeah, but the vintage universe? whats that?
Victorianabomination:it's hard to explain... so i'll just use it in simple terms
Inostrancevia:ok... go on!
Victorian abomination:it's just a universe that has prehistoric creatures in their older depictions and featured a what if... and it's that what depictions of prehistoric creatures would look like if they are discovered in the 1850's-1920's
Inostrancevia:really mate... it's just that?
Victorian abomination:theres alot more than that... see for yourself
Inostrancevia:hmmm... okay! i'll just leave tarbosaurus behind and get someone to come...
Victorian abomination:who?
Inostrancevia:well she's been looking for me for reasons... she's a female human who has a hobby for photography (which explains why every creature except cameraman calls her camerawoman) , she's gentle and nice and i think she wants to meet you
"and she's my very first human oc, i forgot how i got the idea cuz i banged my head lmao
-shi 2023"
Burūrenzu:hello mr abomination... it's an honour
Victorian abomination:huh, well nice to meet you
Burūrenzu:i thought your going to attack me ot so...
Victorian abomination:well yeah but nah... come with me and ino too aswell...
Sarcosuchus:hey ino...
Inostrancevia:oh look, it's my rival...
Sarcosuchus:well look about that insult that offended you... listen i'll fix my mess later ok!?
Inostrancevia:lemme guess, after that you'll insult all paleozoic creatures again...
Sarcosuchus:look, i'll never do it again and everyone will be happier this way...
Inostrancevia:hmmm...... apology accepted and hey evil pterosaur!
Evil pterosaur:hey ino...what sup!
Inostrancevia:yeah i'm fine and such but yeah!
Evil pterosaur:so can i come with you on a vintage universe journey?
Inostrancevia:well you and sarco can come too, is that cool with you vintage abomination?
Vintage abomination: yes...
Inostrancevia:LETS GO COMRADES!
Burūrenzu:ok it make sense since your real counterpart's fossils are discovered in russia but whatever, lets go then...
*few hours later*
Tarbosaurus:*yawns* good mornin' ino and- WHERE IS HE!?

The first dinosaur bone:
In the year 1677 an english chemist named Robert Plot published a book titled "the Natural history of Oxford Shire" a catalogue of rocks, minerals and fossils from his home county, one of the drawings included a strange looking bone found in an limestone quarry, it was the end of a femur but larger then anything living in England living at that time, it was suggested to belong to a Roman war elephant or even a giant human but little did he know that he had given the first illustration of a dinosaur fossil. In 1756, English Naturalist Richard Brookes re-printed Plot's illustration in a six- volume set titled "A System of Natural History", he named the femur "Scrotum humanum". In 1824 William Buckland named it "Megalosaurus" but this time he had better material like the jaw bones, to him it didn't look like a giant human or a war elephant but a giant carnivorous crocodile like reptile.
Dinosaurs, big lizards:
After establishing megalosaurus as an ancient reptile, it was realised dinosaurs were something special, a kind of creature that use to exist but doesn't anymore, but in the early 1800s, dinosaurs were still pictured like modern reptiles that did nothing but kill, English physician Gideon Mantell thought that if dinosaurs were reptile they would have been just big lizards, he found teeth in Sussex which convinced him that these belonged to a giant Iguana, he made a sketch of what he thought the skeleton of the creature looked like and in 1825, he officially named it "Iguanodon", a few years later, Mantell was met by an Artist named John Martin famous for his paintings of apocoliptic scenes, he used Mantell's notes of Iguanodon to create the first art of dinosaurs fighting, the painting was called "The country of the Iguanodon".
Dinosauria:
British Anatomist Richard Owen suggested that Megalosaurus, Iguanodon and another newly discovered dinosaur called "Hylaeosaurus" belonged in the same group by examining the bones of these creatures and in 1842, suggested the name "Dinosauria" meaning "Terrible Lizards", he said that they were more like mammals and birds then reptiles, instead of making drawings or paintings, Owen made them in 3 dimensions, for England's Great Exhibition of 1854, Owen worked with artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins to create life size versions of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, Hawkins once famously held a new year's banquet inside a model of Iguanodon and when they were shown to the public, they became what we thought dinosaurs looked like. In 1858, a farmer in New Jersey found the bones of an animal now known as "Hadrosaurus" but the bones showed that this dinosaur was bipedal, so Hawkins was called again to create a model of hadrosaurus and it stood on two legs, a carnivore called "Dryptosaurus" was found to be bipedal too, the person who discovered it, Edward Drinker Cope depicted the creature in a kangaroo like posture, with more discoveries it was found out in 1878 that Iguanodon was bipedal too, and with the discovery of dinosaurs like "Triceratops", "Apatosaurus" and "Stegosaurus" dinosaurs were seen stranger than what was thought, in 1896, Charles R. Knight, working for the American Museum of Natural History, painted an illustration of two Dryptosaurus in combat jumping around like birds and called it "Leaping Laelaps".
Sluggish Dinosaurs:
By the beginning of the 20th century, Dinosaurs were seen as big, scary and weird looking, but their reputation was starting to tarnish, some paleontologists wondered that if Dinosaurs were so great why did they go extinct? Dinosaurs were seen as an evolutionary failure, even the paleoart of the time showed this, they were seen as cold-blooded, sluggish, dumb creatures dragging their tails on the ground and living in swamps.
The Dinosaur Renaissance:
During the late 1960s, some experts were questioning what they knew about dinosaurs when a new dinosaur "Deinonychus" was discovered by American paleontologists John Ostrom in 1969, Deinonychus was swift, nimble and adapted for hunting, no one could imagine it as a slow lumbering beast, this came to be known as the Dinosaur Renaissance from the 1970s to the 1980s, during this time the paleoart depicted dinosaurs with their tails lifted up from ground, jumping, biting and running with greater vigor then ever before.
Modern Dinosaurs:
Today, our image of dinosaurs are keep changing, paleontologists have been finding more dinosaurs than ever before, were now studying not just their bones but also skin impressions, feathers and other soft tissues, modern paleoartists are experimenting with their dinosaur designs adding feathers and appendages adding speculations, these designs are more diverse than ever before and along with drawing on paper and canvas, paleoartist are moving towards digital drawings and dinosaurs are more detailed, this is the experimental stage of paleoart.
