WoodrowSkillson posted:its ok ones the size of the raptors from jurassic park existed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus Actually, Deinonychus was only about hip-high at the hips (human to Deinonychus), and weighed no more than 100 pounds or so. However, there was a dinosaur like those in Jurassic Park. That was Utahraptor Ostrommaysorum (named after John Ostrom, the discoverer of Deinonychus. fun fact, when Jurassic Park was being filmed, several paleontologists complained, because they were making the raptors so large, when none of that size had been discovered. Then, during filming, a specimen was discovered of Utahraptor and Spielberg held this up as justification, even though he used the wrong name...

Genesplicer would ornithicians and saurischians have been classed as separate classes if they hadn't been grouped together originally or is the classification more based on ankle bones and other stuff?

I think that the pelvis is more fundamental, and therefore provides a better demarcation than most other ways we could divide them. Do we really need to divide them? Maybe not, but I'm a splitter, not a lumper. I like lots of groups.

as GBS' resident 'birdologist' I'm here to tell you that literally all birds are scientifically classified as dinosaurs! specifically avian dinosaurs

The Protagonist posted:......which is archeopteryx? archaeopteryx isnt even aves iirc hes like a offshoot lots of dinos had feathers and stuff i think u start getting more birdsy stuff when they lose tails and get beaks etc which is way after archie concerned mom posted:I mean classes as in dinosaur, archosaur, suchia etc. would we have ornithicia and saurischia in there instead of dinosaur? probably yeah the hip bone difference is a pretty big one and it happened pretty early on in dino evo it effects all kind of anatomical stuff

The Protagonist posted:this is the real problem with bio, it's just a bunch of arbitrary artistic bullshit well species arent clearly seperated in nature its more of a gradient and can get so complicated as to defeat the purpose of the concept of species in the first place if u get granular enough. so arbitrary points of reference have to be set up so we csn communicate idess effectively + figure out where things fit in the tree if life + as a way to reference stuff. nobody ever claims uits not arbitrary but its necessary so i mean ya theres debates about what things go into what categories but as we learn more u either solve the debate or rework the system. both are happening now fyi

plus its not as artsy as u make it sound protagonist. in paleontology its a little different bc u have so little info to work w/ sometimes. its kinda like tryna figure out what im sayin when im seriousposting.

the worst part about the whole feathers business is not the feathers, that's pretty cool actually and just means the world was a weirder place than anyone ever guessed, it's that nobody has a loving clue about colors or patterns so all that artwork is speculative poo poo

I believe scientists have already found some evidence for red and striped pigmentation.
