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

He seems to restore his skeletals without ever considering bone damage.

But his most dangerous of things is that he produces these skeletals en masse. For a lot of animals, particularly Palaeozoic species, the only skeletals that come up are his. And he covers a lot of ground. He is by far and away the most prolific skeletal reconstructor out there, and he uses that notoriety for an agenda that goes against scientific principle.

If he were to follow the example of everyone that cares about scientific practice in general, he could have been heralded as a genuine hero to the industry. The Greg Paul of Palaeozoic life, and of pterosaurs.

But he don't.

Because a few screws came loose and he decided to put them up his--

Moving on.

That first image was horrifying, but what's off with this?

It's part of Ken Ham's Noah's Ark project, I think. That alone makes it horrendous.

Dubious origin does not detract from the quality of work.

Yes, but this topic isn't just for cringeworthy paleo-art, it's for anything that might annoy you relating to paleontology for any reason. So as far as I'm concerned it's perfectly justifiable to post that image here.

If it had been explicitly stated that that was what was annoying, perhaps; but since some didn't know the origin of the image, it seemed like the poster thought tiny rebbachisaurids in cages was irritating.

Yeah, I suppose it could've been made clearer.

Keeping rebbachisaurids in captivity is wrong. It annoys me people are still trying to do this.

People who keep drawing Chilesaurus with a ****ing beak.

Not to enough of a degree to render it totally abhorrent on its own though IMO.

It's not that obvious from the perspective either.

My main problem is that it is supposed to be a baby but is an exact copy of an adult.
