That's a pretty good looking Allo, but I don't know why everyone seems to think the Morrison was dominated by Sequoia. They weren't even present.
>>5034412
Nonsense. Elatides aren't actually that common. Morrison is dominated by Cheirolepidiaceae (Monkey-puzzle Trees with smaller foliage basically) and Ginkgophytes with fern understories. And no, fern prairies don't exist. In the hills and mountains other conifers begin to dominate such as Pinaceae and Sequoiadendron (not Sequoia).

Stanton. >These osteoderms were initially attributed to the ankylosaurid dinosaur Euoplocephalus. Excavation at the site, carried out by W.H. Utterback, yielded further fossils, including additional osteoderms, as well as vertebrae, ribs, and a pubis. >When these specimens were examined, it became clear that they belonged to a large crocodilian and not a dinosaur; upon learning this, Hatcher "immediately lost interest" in the material. After Hatcher died in 1904, his colleague W. J. Holland studied and described the fossils.
Imagine calling modern paleontologists faggots, clearly John Hatcher was one.

why do feathers haters are so passionate in their hatred? so what if most of the non birds dinosaurs were covered in feathers?? what difference does it make? Loving beings are not supposed to look cool,they are/were what they are/were
stupid pointless discussion

Apparently, it's the jews. By discrediting an entirely jew produced movie about frog-dinosaur hybrids by showing real dinosaurs did not look like frog-dinosaur hybrids, the jews have with one stroke of the menorah turned every white man in paleontology gay.

Why is it that pop paleo retards are always looking for a new scientific inaccuracy to dickride? I just remembered a stat about autism being highly correlated with transgenderism for some reason. I'm sure it's unrelated.
>>5034679
Some people are upset by lying. We know you aren't and love to do it though, so just be content that you've had attention paid to you.
>>5034692
Jurassic Park is intentionally inaccurate. If you bots could read, you would know that from the book. And yet, the dinosaurs in JP are worlds more accurate than 98% of paleoart produced since it came out.
Reminder to ignore the baiters who want to talk about shit without posting art.
If they're not posting art they should not be replied to.
End the cycle of baiting and ruining these threads.

That is fantasy art. None of the dinosaurs are accurate and humans had not even made it out of the tree shrew days yet.
>>5034745
You are free to disagree. There are just faggots who turn this into a debate thread instead of a paleoart thread. >That is fantasy art. None of the dinosaurs are accurate and humans had not even made it out of the tree shrew days yet.
Nobody cares.

?? why lying? most researchers and papers confirm that mist of them had feathers for a fact? you are the one being a spiled brats refusing to acknowledge facts. Stupid retard

I hate what Magic has become but I do enjoy Ixalan's lightly feathered fantasy dinosaurs to go with the aztec theme, like they've got a little Quetzalcoatl in em. Shame they're surrounded by stronk righteous indegenes, fat whamen pirates and gay vampire conquistadors. (no hate to the fish people, fish people are cool)

brainless retard moron piece of shit idiot son of a fucking smelly hateful whore asshole dickhead faggot simp beta cuck loser
>>5034731 >Some people are upset by lying >especially when the lies are actually truth >and we want our lies to be truth for ideological reasons
All maniraptorans had feathers
Cladism is truth
Jews had nothing to do with it
It's not a conspiracy
It doesn't prove or disprove any religion (except maybe orthodox judaism)
It didn't turn anyone gay when the ancient dragons... were just a different style of dragon
Get over it
>>5034868 >son of a fucking smelly hateful whore
Son of a whore is literally a favorite israeli insult. That's why it's so common in places like online forums.
>>5035923
There was some speculation going back some years that maybe ceratopsian heads were covered by a continuous sheath of keratin kinda like a crocodile or certain birds but now we know that’s not the case
>>5034745 >That is fantasy art.
So is yours. The difference is one is openly fantasy and doesn't pretend to be anything else, while the one you posted pretends to be accurate and real.
>>5037123
Spino will always be my no. 1 favorite dinosaur. Though ironically my "favorite group" of dinosaurs flip-flops between sauropods and thyreophorans.
>>5034155
does this head armour make no sense to anyone else?
anyone who fights with it would eventually have both of the skin sections pierced by horns/teeth etc.
>>5038251
I believe that's because most ceratopsians used it as a display structure. Funnily enough Triceratops is the only one to not have holes in its frill and also happens to be the one that lives with Tyrannosaurus. I think the bone breaking bite of the T. rex made Triceratops do away with the holes and adapt solid frills for protection
>>5038253
Torosaurs have the holes. You'll looking at not fully mature Ceratopsians. Yes, we know reddit, longrich was right because longrich was right and we all believe in circular logic now.
>>5038257
Torosaurs are the end stage of Triceratops. They have the fenestrae you're looking for. But you can't even say that these days because every redditard will start screaming "longrich won! longrich won! it's been debunked!" despite none of them being able to actually explain WHY Torosaurus isn't just a big Triceratops.
>>5038270
Here we go. So confident, but doesn't even know why. But sure know that everyone is just as confident so it must be right, correct?
Then we'll go through all the actual evidence (the literally one skull) and then you'll be told about evidence you don't even know about. Then you'll ignore it all because the truth never mattered to you in the first place. Just the culture war. Because you're a faggot.
>>5038122
OK but what in the sweet fuck could've possibly warranted having this much anti-predator defense? Far as I know, the only evidence of theropods in Spicomellus' formation are mere footprints
>>5038166
The bottom ones remind me of a prude old man holding his head up and stuttering "wh- why I've never heard such a thing!" while his jowls jiggle
>>5038397 >the only evidence of theropods in Spicomellus' formation are mere footprints
"Evidence" when it comes to the fossil record is not to be entirely trusted. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, due to the low chance of fossilization to begin with we have only a handful of species - barely enough to fill the world's museums - which represent the biota of millions of years. We are missing the vast majority of not only dinosaur individuals, but also species. There were theropods, they didn't fossilize, that's the end of it.
>>5039215
This makes me wish that we knew much more about what caves were like millions of years, like the types of animals that lived inside them and if any of them were endemic to the subterranean environment like some species today. Like a giant millipede related to Arthropleura that lived in caves during the Carboniferous or blind cave temnospondyls during the Triassic. All we have are a few records from the Pleistocene. Mountains and the deep ocean are also highly mysterious in terms of what they were like in the past.

If you could manipulate the chaos of quantum mechanics to look into the ancient past would you, even if looking once destroyed the ability to ever look again?
