RAWR! What's new in the field of Paleontology? What are we learning about them now? Dinosaur art, finds, and speculation: it all goes here.
No links to anything for sale. You're welcome to share a photo of something on an image host, and include a link in the comments, but there may be no submitted links to anything for sale (ie etsy, Kickstarter, Amazon).
Please do follow Reddiquette! This includes not insulting others. This is a welcoming place and a place of scientific discovery, not of name calling or attacking anyone.
Please don't downvote well written comments just because you don't agree with the opinion. This is a place for discussion!
That being said, come on in and share in the wonderful world of Dinosaurs and Paleontology!
This is a sub for dinosaurs. It sounds super obvious, but we need to just come out and say it. So generally, anything dinosaur-related is welcomed here. (this is a SFW sub).
Comments that are not about dinosaurs don't belong here, regardless of context.

What theory about dinosaurs would you be most disappointed by if true?
Can be a overall or specific to a dinosaur or even a specimen.

Teaching Kids Incorrect Dinosaur Facts
When you see a child's dinosaur shirt incorrectly say that a Pterodactyl is a dinosaur makes my blood boil!

Help me out here folks?
Recently bought myself a dino figure 12 pack, excluded a Pterodon because it’s not a dinosaur. Can’t tell what this little fella is. My best guess is some sort of spinosaurus?

I randomly had this thought
What if pteranodons flew at Mach 2 but we didn't know that'd be crazy, currently what humans know is that they flew between 25-30 mph but what if this was wrong we could be right but at the same time we weren't there to see them fly

As well as a link detailing its traits and genetic contributors!

Who else remembers the movie "Speckles the Tabosaurus"?
This was my childhood movie. I have to admit that the graphics and models aren't to bad but the designs are awesome-especially one eye. Do you guys remember it? And if you did, what's your opinion on the movie and what inaccuracies do like/hate.

Idk why but I found smaller predatory dinosaurs to be scarier
Idk why I found smaller predatory dinosaurs to be more scarier, like I know the fear of being stalked by a 11,000 pound T Rex but I just feel like that if it's eye level with you it's scarier (something like a majungasaurus)

Anybody else remember a specific National Geographic documentary about dinosaur fossils?
I remember my family had a vhs of a Nat Geo show about dinosaur fossils. Probably made around the 2000’s. I remember a line regarding the fossil was “it was longer than a city bus.” It laid dormant in my mind for a bit and resurfaced. Can’t seem to find it though.

You have been banished to the Cretaceous Period for your crimes. You can take three items and one companion with you. What and who will they be?
You are transported to the east coast of Laramidia 67 million years ago (one million years before the asteroid) and must spend the rest of your life there. Yes, T. rex is present.
