Annoying know it all who knows nothing but is prepared to look it up so that I can know everything.

@Dino_Menagerie_ @AshleyPalaeo Gigantothermy wouldn’t cause the loss of all feathers same way it doesn’t cause the loss of all mammalian hair.

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@AshleyPalaeo lol fair.

@JoschuaKnuppe @DragonsofWales Hypothesis: it would seem there are a number of people who dislike hyper realistic high definition textures. As evidence: I offer, the backlash against literally any video game where the adult woman characters are made to look like actual irl adult women.

@TheBioBob Oh wow! Gorgeous skull, it's a shame the epinasal needed to be reconstructed though.

@ausar_the @ceratopsyuta Triceratops prorsus generally tends to have comparatively short and stout brow horns, but not always.

@DannyVegito @Riamus01 Palpatine’s machinations were well under way, and would have occurred regardless. Qui-gon’s actions literally set in motion events which led to Palpatines down fall. The universe moves slowly, people would do well to remember that.

@Gebo___ @NoGunsInCanada People rightfully point out the water usage of Golf courses all the time, especially in drought stricken areas. Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention for very long.

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@Tablesalt13 lol Still less than Forever Canadian. Losers sure like to celebrate their mediocrity!

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@astrapionte @TetZoo I would guess that if the skull has big crests then it should be more like the bottlenose whale and if it doesn’t then more plesiomorphic odontocete (dolphin like) with additional variation depending on beak length. Not sure you can predict the shape with any degree of confidence

@ceratopsyuta You should see it partially prepared…https://t.co/Vye3Hw93e9

@ARGAtheropodfan @TM9380 @JoshuaGoji I don’t know, but presumably any tooth marks on the bones would have survived that.

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@ARGAtheropodfan @TM9380 @JoshuaGoji You know, we could probably test this…examine the bones for any predation signs inconsistent with a juvenile sized animal.

@Midiaou7 @Juanyudocus There are way, way, too many people on the fringe of medical science that don’t believe in germ theory.

@tm_front @GET_AWAY_TRIKE This “specimen” is a paper mache model constructed for the Smithsonian Pavilion at the 1901 Pan-American exhibition. https://t.co/k3iYsRpo0x

@deak_michael @Riamus01 I couldn’t agree more!

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@ARGAtheropodfan The frill, not to mention the rest of the skull, is a poorly reconstructed mess of mostly plaster and cardboard. It could be Torosaurus, but there’s literally no reason to believe it is. No Torosaurus has a distal squamosal that deep, for starters.

[Christopher Collinson @Collinson_C]

@Riamus01 Um except it wasn’t just an “artistic interpretation or trope ” it was the best supported hypothesis until we got actual verified skin from a T. rex. You’re literally being the example of what Tyler is talking about.

@SumaYVive @Elvis_y_punto Light refraction off the microscopic structure of the muscle fibres. It’s not a sign that the meat is bad, just that a really sharp knife was used.

@AugustineOTV @TomHoltzPaleo Oh yes of course that’s supposed to be Jesus…here I was wondering why Michael Morbius was helping arrest the pope.
