Who was the guy that did the flat earth threads and the dinosuars never existed threads??? I want that guy's opinion on this. Can't remember his name

@Scyther we summon you and your trolling ways.

 

[RighteousWar]

dinosaurs still exist

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

Wasn't it a Brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park and not a Brontosaurus?

 

[bandicoot]

Holy shit that's sad

 

[RawHawg]

Oh bullcrap. Then how do you explain this?

 

[o0obruceleeo0o]

What is the best dinosaur? Informative and funny. (he mentions the Brontosaurus)

Nah let's not dredge up that creationist bullshit. It triggers me bad.

Also debate on the triceratops, as it actually may be a young torosaur.

Never heard of that. I did hear that they think Triceratops may have been partially carnivorous. And that it may have been covered in feathers or quills of some kind.

My life is a lie

this was my favorite type of dino

Land before time FTW

Just the first film. All the other ones are pretenders to the throne, and worse still, musicals.

This was always my favorite dino:



They always talk about its brain being walnut-sized I always felt bad for it. It's like an overgrown turtle. Leave it alone, stop making fun of it, dammit.

Bronto got USADA'd.

Meanwhile the T-Rex still the GOAT.

I think this guy's got feathers now too. Paleontology has gotten really depressing after Jurassic Park came out. The movie version will always be the true T-Rex to me, dammit. Same goes for the raptors.

I just found this shit online and it made me sad sherbros

I like brontosauruses





"Next to, say, the almighty Tyrannasaurus Rex, the Brontosaurus is easily one of the most commonly depicted beasts of the Jurassic age. It was the first and most mind-blowingly enormous dinosaur featured in the movie, Jurassic Park. The adorable protagonist of The Land Before Time, Littlefoot, was a Brontosaurus. The drive-in restaurant in the Flintstones even served Brontosaurus ribs. So it has to be a real thing, right?

Wrong.

The Brontosaurus is actually the result of an error made by a prominent paleontologist, O.C. Marsh, during such a contentious time in the field it was dubbed The Bone wars. During the Bone Wars period, Marsh was so caught up in the race to discover more bones than his rival, Edward Drinker Cope, that he carelessly misidentified an already discovered dinosaur as something new. The skeleton in question belonged to the Apatosaurus, but before it could be corrected the name Brontosaurus had already spread enough to create years of misinformation."

False alarm folks, Bronto existed.

Now a new study suggests resurrecting Brontosaurus. It turns out the original Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus fossils appear different enough to belong to separate groups after all. "Generally, Brontosaurus can be distinguished from Apatosaurus most easily by its neck, which is higher and less wide," says lead study author Emanuel Tschopp, a vertebrate paleontologist at the New University of Lisbon in Portugal. "So although both are very massive and robust animals, Apatosaurus is even more extreme than Brontosaurus."

Bs. What you're saying goes against the teachings of the first power rangers. Triceratops was a legit animal.

What animal's credibility will you attack next? Pterodactyl? Tyrannosaurus rex? How but Deagonzords? Bet they never existed either right?You sick f***

People have declared holy war for less heretical hate speech than yours.

Impossible. Dinosaur scientists do not make errors.

It's like Frankenstein monster commonly being known as Frankenstein.......while technically incorrect, it is the common parlance.

Whilst the brontosaurus is technically the wrong name, everyone knows what is meant.

There's still a lot of debate and ambiguity about dinosaurs and their sub-species.

mulders hair did you draw those yourself?

I remember when I found this out a few years ago. My oldest was a toddler and really into dinosaurs. I bought him a dinosaur encyclopedia and it didn’t have the brontosaurus in it. A little more research and it felt like my childhood was a lie.
