Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Hmmm...I know we know (explored) less about the depths of our oceans than the moon, but if there was a small group of megalodon swimming out there I feel we'd be seeing mangle up whale carcasses washed up. I'd love for them to still be alive but I don't think they are. |

| @Darkseid_of_town actually, it was Jurassic Park that introduced me to them. But at the time that the movie was being made, they didn't think that the velociraptor had feathers. So you really can't blame the movie for that. But yeah, every time I see or hear of velociraptors, I look into it. I think they look way cooler with the feathers!! I still like to think that they hunted in packs!!! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_Oby the first movie feathers were suspected for many dinosaurs. By the sequel it was fairly well established. Today they continue with featherless raptors anyways. Aside from the incorrect hands. ..incorrect size etc. As for pack hunting I doubt they had the cranial capacity but perhaps they were opportune hunters and would use cooperative tactics |

| I loved dinosaurs as a kid and I am still fascinated by them. In fact, all extinct species are fascinating to me. So it’s pretty hard to pick a favorite, but I will say that Ankylosaur was a true armored dinosaur that I think was pretty cool. I also find it fascinating to read about all the misconceptions and erroneous information that was reported about dinosaurs in the past, and the debates that still endure. About 20 years ago I was lucky enough to visit the La Brea Tar Pit Museum in LA. No dinosaurs, but hundreds of skeletons of Mammoths and good-old Smilodons. Just an awesome place to visit. |

| I guess I have three favs..only cause I had (and are probably in a box somewhere) 3 plastic figures as a kid....stegosaurus, triceratops and brontosaurus. Although I really love trilobites and have even gone digging at a decommissioned old quarry to get some for my self...just need like an air chisel or something to clean them up |

Quote:Originally Posted by JohnnylrayI think you are likely closer to right than you think...or more like ...lizards even, that make no noise? I think the more theropod types were more birdlike and you are onto something though. One thing they have done is take the skull of a tyrannosaurus, and using the attachment points on the bones for muscle and tissue, constructed a basic working digital cranium, which they then worked to see how it might make faces, or even roar... |

As a child, I was all about the classics like T-Rex, triceratops, stegosaurus, etc. I don't think I have a favorite. I did turn into a kid when I read about intact dinosaur. I'll go with Trypticon. |

Always been the same since I was a little kid, Dimetrodon. Nice to know I can still pick one up. Early Permian apex predator, the first successful large land predator, wiped out with Trilobites and something like 90% of all species around 250 million years ago. Everyone has a theory about the sail. I think stylin, man, just for stylin. Just weren’t any feathers or hair yet. |

Quote:Originally Posted by doogMy own thoughts for the sail are sexual display..imagine flushing it with blood to change the patterns or colors and voila...I always favored dimetrodon over Edaphosaurus myself.....but my choice from that time period is the diplocaulus! |

Gosh.. the climate in the long run continuously changes from warm to cold.. Imagine that.. Hey Gretta check out the history of the world while your in school..  |

| Mammoths are awesome....have you ever read up on pygmy mammoths? I think Columbian mammoths had to be some of the most regal looking animals ever as they marched along in herds. brontosaurus! I grew up loving that one, then we were told it wasn't a legitimate species, but now it is again! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town I will have to check out the Pygmy Mammoths As for the Brontosaurus yeah I think there still arguing about that. Kind of like the planet Pluto now you see it now you don’t. I was able to obtain a few years ago a Mammoth Tooth, a actual lock of fur and a bone from the heal of a Mammoth all from northeastern most Siberia. I also have a small section of tusk with some Mammoth carvings on it. That came from northwestern China/Mongolia region. But the study of the earth’s climate change and the migration of the Mammoth’s was really a eye opener. Not only did I get a climate change education so did my grandkids. Hence the Greta comment. Lol. |

Quote:Originally Posted by TowmaterGreat post, thanks for sharing. Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus both had horns as well, although neither species was as well pronounced as with Carnotaurus….also Carnotaurus was found with an almost complete body cast of its skin |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Thanks It was completely unexpected when I was buying the book. I felt like Sir Galahad when asked what his favorite color was lolThrilled with it nonetheless, but I wonder what I would have settled with had I known he was going to sketch. Once put on the spot, I felt saying, "T Rex, Raptor, or Spinosaurus" would have made him roll his "inner" eyes, and I couldn't remember the name of the big pterosaurs. But really, there's no wrong answer, and it was a treat to watch. Had I been prepared, I would have recorded it. |
