That book is quite old so I wouldn't say it is that bad after all it was before the dino resonance

yep it is
I have it too

its based on the JP/// ptera
its fairly reasonable, other than having teeth it isn't actually very bad
proportions and most details are very well done, its just those teeth
(they are based on JP/// pteras teeth)

But we already know Rhamphorynchus lived before Elasmosaurus and there wasn't any evidence for orthinomimids eating eggs. I could say the Igaunadon looks like it wants to do karate or some how kick the Megalasaur. The Papo pterosaur doesn't have fluff unlike real ones.

"Brontosaurus" Posted Image and Posted Image Even though now we know Brontosaurus is actually Apatosaurus.

you do realize how incredibly recently we learned of the hump and bill of deinocheirus right? x_x
to put it in perspective, that figure was top of the line accurate just last year

But look how incredibly "accurate" the feathers on the wing are.

We didn't learn ornithomimids had wing feathers until relatively recently either IIRC.

You and Nomis aren't finding us retrosaurs that are lame enough. :P

Well, it's probably a good thing that lame retrosaurs are getting harder to find. :P

Spoiler: click to toggle

so close, so, so so so close, but that is still not accurate, and its these sort of reconstructions that bug me
look at that accurate rex, and then cower in fear at those, things, near its feet

There's nothing wrong with retrosaur pictures that were accurate for their time. The shame, however, is using them in modern media

The fact that a freaking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic has more accurate dinosaurs than most dinosaur documentaries I know of.
