Is it unreasonable for me to expect you to?



Sim

Why are troodontids so underrated when they're the best non-bird dinosaurs?

DinoToyForum

What makes you think they're they're better than, say, dromaeosaurids?


Sim

Good point, troodontids are the best dinosaurs along with dromaeosaurids, unenlagiids and corvids, why did you say "they're" twice? :D

Why do you care about his grammatical mistakes ?

Sim

Gregory Paul has identified three different species in traditional Tyrannosaurus, why doesn't anyone dare to name the two unnamed ones?

Why did you change the topic?
Edit:seriously? Can I have a link? I dont see anything in my usual place to find information

Sim

Heh, isn't this topic more interesting?

(avatar_Stegotyranno420 @Stegotyranno420 Gregory Paul published it in his latest book, The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs Second Edition, here's a link to the thread that discusses it: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=4634.0)

Tarbosaurus has it pretty good, it has the brilliant PNSO figure, a movie, and it appeared in a documentary series; why do people believe in Ornithoscelida when among early dinosaurs it's uncertain if some are theropods or sauropodomorphs, suggesting a closer relationship between those two groups than either has to Ornithischia?

Palaeontologica

Isn't it true that some taxa, namely Chilesaurus, display both theropod and ornithischian traits, or am I misremembering?

Sim

Sauropodomorph traits too, if I'm remembering right?

Palaeontologica

Apparently so, as there's the extensible first digit and presumably some other characters, but how didn't I know about this?

Has anyone else besides me tried using the search function of this forum to see where a particular prehistoric animal has been mentioned?

Halichoeres

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Lynx

An oversized house cat.

Why don't people talk about Sericipterus since it's a pterosaur whose teeth had cutting edges?

Because, in my case, I didn't know it until you mentionned it here! I actually learned something new here.

Why don't toy companies make peterodactyls anymore?

Stegotyranno420

why did you use the incorrect term pterodactyl(unless that lack of the -us at the end was another typo in addition to e between p and t)?
