Rex: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/7/30/21348242/sue-t-rex-field-museum-flesh-model The last class I had taken at my local community college was a geology course with a focus on dinosaurs. That absolutely blew my mind the same way. We talked about all the clades like marginocephalia, thyreophora, etc. I held onto my textbooks because even after acing the class I still wanted the books, but I threw my old notes away for some reason, which is a shame because I remember putting in big bold ink the facts that really stood out to me. Seeing the natural history museum in los angeles last week filled me with a ton of nostalgia, partially because we also went there for an adult field trip as part of that class too. thanks for the serious answers as well as the fart joke answers, thats what i come to GBS for. anyone have dinosaur podcast/channel reccs so i can remember all my dino facts that i lost?

Shame the museum closed down. your dinosaurs are wrong is extremely top tier dinosaur youtube here's a video from them that's pretty pertinent to this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK-3rlwyKxI they have their own separate yoytube channel now and their recent videos are very, very in-depth. velociraptor and herrerasaurus are my favorite ydaw episodes.

The story with Tyrannosaurus feathers is interesting. For a while you saw Tyrannosaurus depicted with feathers because it seems like it should have them, because its earlier relatives do. Here's Guanlong, an earlier tyrannosauroid: By Joanna Kobierska, who makes some of the best feathered dinosaurs. A good bet is that Tyrannosaurus did have feathered ancestors, but lost its feathers and re-evolved scales to not overheat since it got so large. Scales and filamentous feathers are the same structure - you can think of a feather as an extruded scale, or a scale as a compressed feather. When you look at birds, going back and forth doesn't seem far-fetched. Bird scales are known to be derived from feathers, and there are even some birds which switch between feathers and scales on their feet seasonally. Bird scales:  The scaliness of Tyrannosaurus and its close relatives is well-attested:  A modern Tyrannosaurus reconstruction was already posted, but here's another one by Max Bellomio that's pretty much equally likely. It has some speculative sparse filamentation between its scales, which isn't impossible, especially considering birds do mix feathers and scales too (see chicken feet). The keratin structures on the head like the horns are also things that are known to have been there, but their shape and extent is unknown, so you see various guesses. UIltimately it hasn't changed a ton from the 90s depiction.  The evolution of feathers in dinosaurs got so muddled that now we aren't actually fully sure if dinosaurs started out scaled or feathered. It's possible the first ones were fuzzy and most evolved scales later.

Do we know what sort of hats they wore? Were there times when hats were ubiquitous and times (like today) when they were mostly worn for practical reasons?

FlocksOfMice posted:https://alphynix.tumblr.com/tagged/retro%20vs%20modern%202022 Oooh, nice. It's also cool that the 60's dinosaur has natural earthy tones and the 90's dino has a RADICAL colour scheme. (And the dinosaur depiction of our own time, of course, is correct and accurate and above merely contemporary concerns)
