The problem stems not from how implausible the speculations are, but the fact that Peters treats them like fact. He's not just some artist trying to make a point about how little we actually know about the appearance of fossil animals like the people behind All Yesterdays, he's claiming his ideas are solid scientific data backed up by evidence from fossils, which they certainly are not. |

haha, yep ![]() I've never spoken to him but I've spoken with people who have witnessed his "conversations" and he definitely does not take criticism very well nothing wrong with weird depictions (so long as they remain plausible) unless the artist tries to assert that they are always going to be right |

I still think they would fit better as Dragons from an Alternate universe. |

I also think it looks ugly, to be honest. And no, it's not in All Yesterdays. You should have told me before, I could've turned the book in a pdf for you

Honestly I don't like it just because Apatosaurus look like a fat old man, which I hope it didn't really look like. And no, it's not in All Yesterdays as far as I'm aware. |

I think it's a Nigersaurus (you can tell by the wide snout). Anyway, I just posted that GIF as a joke. I respect the opinion that it looks ugly. @Julien: I prefer it as a book, personally, but thanks for the offer. Edited by CyborgIguana, Aug 17 2014, 07:03 PM.

Yes, it looks ugly. So do a lot of today's animals, though. Anyway, I can see I'm not gonna win this thing. |

I say it looks ugly, but who said ugly was a bad thing? I also think most large modern mammals look ugly |
