What annoys you about paleontology?; Rant on about moronic theories, complaints, or just animals that annoy you.

I know what you meant, I was just making a joke.

It's worth noting that Big Al is a YEC, so according to his beliefs evolution doesn't happen. :P

Secondly, their diet and size would mean that they would eat enough that the ecology of terrestrial ecosystems would be severely affected.

That is the third argument, he claims that dragons were based of them, I don't recall large flying therapods with leathery wings, they're so huge that they would of been found by now, he believes in the kalasi rex also.

Well, accurate as in the theoretical possibility of a theropod with a frill-like flexible membrane that spits blinding goop, yes, but not in the sense of an accurate depiction of Dilophosaurus wetherilli.

He also cursed the TRT staff and made up species like Dilophosaurus Mongolinsis.

Why couldn't He have at least used the Real Asian Dilophosaur, Sinosaurus triassicus?

Alright, so we're all in agreement that Big Al is a subhuman idiot. However, I think maybe we should move on from this discussion. :P

Anyway, I'm annoyed by how often paleontological reconstructions are imitated. The colour scheme of the WWD Liopleurodon has been repeated exhaustively by pretty much everyone, every Spinosaurus is the PD Spino, etc.

Seriously, people! How hard is it to be original??

Not to mention WWD's Acheroraptor (I know, it's called a Dromeasaurus in the show because it's years before the naming xD).

Also games that are lazy on making new models on way way different dinosaurs. It's still understandable to have similar animals with the same models, yet in Deadly shores, they used the same model of Bambiraptor with Agilisaurus >_<

To be honest, once a show becomes very popular, it is hard to imagine an animal in a different way.
I myself cannot see an Allosaurus in my mind that isn't the WWD/PD one.

The amount of resistance that's been given in the past to depicting dinosaurs as ordinary animals instead of vicious, shrink-wrapped alien monsters. Luckily, attitudes seem to be slowly changing, but why we were ever so reluctant to accept dinosaurs as animals remains a mystery to me.

Maybe because they were so derived from any modern Earth animal in body shape or appearance that people just had trouble seeing them as anything other than alien beasts.

Yeah, dinosaurs will always be very strange animals by our present-day standards. That doesn't mean they weren't animals though.
