I miss the feeling of walking to the library on summer vacation and staring at the illustrations in a gregory s paul book for hours  is it true that t. rex had a large frontal ribcage thing that made him barrel shaped, unlike the sleeker versions we've seen since the 80s or so? e: i am a good 20 years behind on dinosaurs btw

I remember reading that something as well-known as triceratops could have been just a juvenile chasmosaurus IIRC I haven't been able to find any reference to that since reading it a few years back and if wikipedia is a guide to general consensus I'd say triceratops is definitely its own thing i would imagine the real problems exist for species that are identified based on like two bone fragments or whatever

Bilirubin posted:Torosaurus not Chasmosaurus. Most folks would agree with Triceratops being its own thing but its an interesting argument.  we must go longer

I feel like that says a lot more about Danny Vendramini than Neanderthals

I know that paleontologists and archaeologists are very delicate when excavating, but how do you avoid breaking anything in the shovel/pickaxe stage before you know what's there?
