I thought they went extinct decades ago?
2016 seems to be an illustration of Dimetrodon instead. But yeah, spinosaurus has many looks it’s pretty funny and exciting every time a new paper’s out lol
Pretty sure that Dimetrodon has a mustache so it must have been a very silly time in paleontology.
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.
Did they fire the scientist in 2015 and ask an intern to make the model for 2016?
