There are only two rules for this subreddit, please follow them.

Only one thing is not allowed:

1. 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).

2. 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, because we also allow a tiny bit of wiggle room. We have always allowed pterosaurs and pliosaurs, and even sometimes something that isn't one of those (like a synapsid).

So generally, anything dinosaur-related is welcomed here, including some things which are definitely not dinosaurs (like a dimetrodon) but sometimes excluding things that ARE definitely dinosaurs (this is a SFW sub).

Comments that are not about dinosaurs don't belong here, regardless of context.
