  I thought they went extinct decades ago?

      Wow, that’s more than a century, isn’t it?

      Umm, this is a science community, we say 6.5 x 10^6 decades here, buddy.

    Personal trainer and stylist would make most of us unrecognizable.

  Not a paleontologist, but these renditions seem shockingly consistent for a dinosaur. T-Rex for example went from full upright to balanced to covered in feathers in half this timeframe. And let’s not even talk about poor iguanodon…

  When all you have is a few bone fragments and a bunch of teeth, it’s pretty hard to figure out what my dude looked like! With each new fossil we get a better picture.

  He keeps getting better and bite-ier every year.

    A friend of mine was cleaning out the home she grew up in and gave me some old dinosaur cards that she found for my nephew. I looked at them and had to laugh and said they are quite antiquated. She said yes, they are from the early 90’s. I said that they need an update badly. She was shocked and said dinosaurs didn’t change in millions of years. Yeah but our understanding. She really really did not believe me.

  Aren’t these changes, because there are just have bones to look at, so skin properties etc are a guessing game?

  But how did that jaw bone double in length in 2001? Was the skull a missing part until then?

    This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.

      Paper my ass, that was a small book!

      As a scientist, I’m disappointed there were no models with big, goofy lips, even if it was to show how unlikely and ridiculous it would be.

  Did they fire the scientist in 2015 and ask an intern to make the model for 2016?

  I don’t know why the dinosaur memes have been on the rise recently, but I like it.
