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

It reminds me of an anteater-ground sloth thing except uglier.

And the bushy tail totally isn't TSL's concept reference....

Looking up Indominus rex on Deviant Art and all I find are anthropomorphic dino-women.

Rule #46 of the internet there is furry porn of it. Best just to stay of the internet kids, nothing is sacred to 4-chan. I know it doesn't relate directly to paleontology but the JW toys are just plain garbage, like Happy Meal quality. Why Hasbro, just why?

The I. rex action figure looks pretty cool IMO, but yeah a lot of them are awful (ironic that the JPIII Pteranodon toys were toothless when the Pteranodons in the movie had teeth, but when it comes to JW the movie's Pteranodons were toothless and yet the toy has a horrific maw of spiky death: just...why?).

I hate when people think that Dravidosaurus was 100% a plesiosaur when the most recent publication on the matter (The Dinosauria's second edition, 2004) concluded that the vertebrae are plesiosaurian... and the rest really does belong to a stegosaur.

So there really WERE late Cretaceous stegosaurs? That's kind of awesome.

Yes. India is very weird, it even has Late Cretaceous haramiyidans.

so that's what the stegosaur that made a silhouette cameo in planet dinosaur(I forgot what episode) was.

I'm baffled and frustrated that Bob Bakker says the Dueling Dinosaurs tyrannosaurid is Nanotyrannus. Even if it was a new species of tyrannosaur it wouldn't be Nanotyrannus because there is no material assigned to the taxon. Since the holotype has been demonstrated to be a juvenile T.rex that means that Nanotyrannus is sunk forever; even if we find something new that is distinct and matches the anatomy perfectly. No more Nanotyrannus unless the holotype turns out to be distinct somehow.

We COULD cheat by giving it a new generic name that just alters the spelling very slightly. :P

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Microtyrannus.
