But there's more stuff we could be told, like the size or an estimate of it, or if said turtle was aquatic or not.

I mean, if I don't have infos on the species living in the environment, how am I supposed to make another story oh sheep I speak too much ...
Let me guess, it's a prequel to TiN taking place in the Morrison. :P

I don't know, but its shameful, and its already a notable black-mark for the company (especially its marketing)

y-rex, every time I read that it pisses me off, so damn cheesy
Actually, I had a barred spiny eel and there was no Wikipedia page so I made one myself. :P

I remember a long time ago I was looking up animals of the Nemegt formation, and I was looking for a generic beetle or any insect I could use. What are the chances the only arthropod from the Nemegt formation is an amphipod of all things? <.<

"museum quality"
I can't say I've ever even been to a museum where the dinosaur reconstructions were accurate.

They're all just shrink-wrapped, bald lizard-like monstrosities.

yah, its just a dumb gimmick, but its still shameful that companies do that, people (parents in particular) tend to fall for it all the time
most museum exhibits are dated as opposed to just inaccurate

even still, "based on latest research" can't be written off as just an advertising gimmick, thats like McDonalds claiming "based on the latest research mcnuggets make you loose weight"

I agree. Still, I go to museums to look at the fossils, not the reconstructions. :P

Games that portray dinosaurs with yellow, green, etc. blood instead of normal red blood. Seriously, they are animals, not mutant aliens from space!

What annoys me is the constant use of dino raul models lately.

I think most of his models look cool TBH, but his style of shrink-wrapping and half-feathering does indeed get very irritating.

Well, his models are now outdated though... Still, I must admire that his models are very well made and gorgeous, only a little edit and they're perfect!

One thing that Annoys me is the fact that (A rather well made) zoo tycoon 2 Young earth creationist dino documentary had been made by one of my YouTube fans, normal this would only weird me out, but now he came begging to me asking for a mod from nexus, and he hates this site a lot. he also adamantly believes that lots of dinosaurs still walk the earth, referring to them as casually alive as any modern land animal, I'm not telling whom he is unless he flips out at me asking why does he hate this site.
