I wouldn't call them flaws, just holes that need to be filled up with new fossils. |

I have known before that Pyroraptor is quite small dromaeosaur, even smaller than Velociraptor in the term of length. Not sure about the heigh though. |

Pod was a great character but pretty much inaccurate in every way.

Contrary to popular belief, dromaeosaurids were generally very small animals. The only ones that could be called "big", as to my knowledge, were Utahraptor, Deinonychus (which was still under 4 feet tall), Achillobator, and Austroraptor. |

There are also velociraptorine teeth from Isle of Wight suggesting animal the size of Utahraptor, which would be first truly giant velociraptorine But teeth aren't THAT reliable.

Ha nice Dilophoraptor That some dinosaur names or even modern animal names are named from some random thing or person like a spider named after a singer or a dinosaur named after the child of the paleontologist. However contradicting myself most other dinosaurs without proper seeming naming like Lythornax actually have pretty cool names and with great meaning. I just kinda feel sorry for the animal that will be named after Justin beiber...... |

It's real! Justinosaurus bieberi lives in Mexico during late Cretaceous. Their location is so limit and can be found only near Yucatán Peninsula. And when the asteroid arrive. Every single members of them are gathered around for beach party next to the impact area..... So, we don't have any pieces of their fossil remain, have to wait for Justin Biber to meet them accidently through anomaly... Edited by Mathius Tyra, Dec 10 2013, 08:08 AM.

Justin Bieber jokes aside, I don't see what's wrong with naming dinosaurs like that: I think people should be honoured, and I actually prefer something in the line of Furkasaurus longicollis than some stupid name like Lythornax, which looks like it was made by one of those M***n kids who think dinos are Kewl because they always fight everything like characters from animes or mangas. |
