Not really something that annoys me so much as just is something rather curious, but the lack of up to date skeletals for things you'd think would have them. Yangchuanosaurus is a perfect example. You would expect one of the largest theropods of the Jurassic would have quite a few post 2010 skeletal diagrams, but none exist to my knowledge. Same for stuff like many early psuedosuchians or Mosasaurus, which have stuff for some of their relatives but oddly not for themselves. |

My best guess as to why that is... The skeletons haven't recovered much updates from then so there is no need to update if nothing significant is found |

Honestly I've noticed skeletals just seem to be all over the place. I can find one for Sinoceratops, which is very fragmentary, but not Torosaurus.

Yeah I've noticed that to that Torosaurus skeletals are few and far between... Thanks Horner XD Edited by BossMan, Jake, Sep 24 2016, 05:26 PM.

Many people still believe that Troodon has the intelligence of JP raptor and is a devastating killing machine eventhough it's most likely only as smart as typical chicken nowaday and probably only as deathly as a raccoon... |

You can phrase "as intelligent as a chicken" in whatever negatively implying way you want published papers and studies still prove them to be very intelligent. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2344198/Chickens-smarter-human-toddlers-Studies-suggest-animals-master-numeracy-basic-engineering.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25RcDO2RdZQ http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/bts/vol15/iss1/6/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy_in_chickens |

This just in: Birds aren't as dumb as bipedal mammals like to think. Though I suppose that's less a paleontological thing that annoys me, and more a general science thing that annoys me. People underestimate the intelligence of most (if not all) animals in general. |
