Could be worse, we could continually bash the media for dinosaur inaccuracies every day. But honestly the fact that quite a few things in palaeontology have horrid accidents of phylogenetics really bugs me as a person that likes to go through things nice and easy. So it's horrendous for me to try and get through certain phylogenetics where dinosaurs are jumping around the place. Looking at you, Abelisauridae. Make your mind up exactly where Eoabelisaurus, Vitakridrinda and Rugops go and keep them there until new evidence pops up |

Then why you bring it up after I don't know how many pages of addressals and shows of other far more unnecessarily obscure animals? I don't even know what you're trying to convey in the last two paragraphs. |

Why do older people feel that dinosaurs are for kids? I dont understand it. If you dont like football you are weird and unusual. Plus I also dont understand how palaeontology is usually mistreated as a thing where all the "monsters" are at. I dont know if this is just me or is this relevant to anybody else? |

What I'm trying to convey is the fact that dinosaurs are just used as toys, and ways to sell toys in certain franchise And I bring it up because well I forgot I had already brought it up. |

I'm upset at the lack of skelitals etc for mammals in the paleogene. the only good one I have found is of Diprotodon. (I find that to be a fairly obscure animal) |

Really you can't find anything skeletal-wise for extinct species except for Dinosaurs and a few reptiles if you're lucky. There's a fair amount of Pterosaur skeletals, but most of them are by David Peters so they don't really count. |

Nice roast to david peters Flish. Btw in paleontology news I just found out what once lived in my country At least 20 trilobites, 1 fish and 1 amphibian. Funny but cool. |

Mark Witton's done some good pterosaur skeletals IMO (Scott Hartman's done one or two as well). |

Yah, there are a few, but not nearly as many as with Dinosaurs. |

Well, for your own sake I hope you remember it this time. As for skeletals, there's very few good Mesozoic mammal skeletals: ![]() ![]()

Paleofile has a few good skeletals, but some are outdated as all heck |

The fact that most of the dinosaur reconstructions displayed on Wikipedia are shrinkwrapped to a greater or lesser extent. Wikipedia being Wikipedia, they probably think it's "too speculative" to have a dinosaur reconstruction look like an animal that could actually exist. |

Cuvier to the rescue! First skeletal ever, and damn well executed too!

mammal eye sockets are just weird and inconsistent. On some mammals, the eye socket is very defined, but in others, it's difficult to see.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It just varies among mammals. |
