@CyborgIguana we do have impression from Gorgosaurus and IIRC they are from the base of the tail

Those are scales though IIRC, I thought we also had bare skin impressions from somewhere on the upper body (though I could be mistaken).

Huh what exactly is the difference?

No no, the GORGOSAURUS skin specimen was a throat patch. T rex itself has skin from the belly, thigh, foot and tail. Tarbosaurus apparently has throat and foot skin too. By skin, I'm talking general epidermal preservation, nothing specific. But yes, there is a difference between scales and just bare skin. Its a pretty substantial difference too.

Annoyingly, much of this is still not described to my knowledge. Except T. rex's tail skin, which came from Wyrex.

IIRC there is some privately owned Trex skin that shows evidence of feathers. I believe its owned by Paul Sereno but I'll make sure

How would you design a food web of Wessex?

Neovenator would be at the top of the food chain with baryonyx being a close second. That should give you a head start

Why would Sereno, a renowned paleontologist and a widely known paleo-sensationalist, privately own something that important and keep it quiet?

Like I said I'm not sure I'm still hunting for the truth

EDIT: Yeah he SUPPOSEDLY has impression that might have bore feathers. Here is the article

Do you pronounce Deinonychus DIE-no-NIE-kiss or DIE-non-o-kiss?

DIE-non-o-kiss is the correct pronunciation from what I've heard, although it's not wrong to use the other pronunciation.

It's up to personal taste really, neither one is technically correct anyway xD

All that matters is whether person A and person B understand what the other person is talking about.

Pronounciation is somewhat irrelevant in a mostly written medium anyway.

What kind of theropod do you think Embasaurus is?

is there any evidence to support the idea of stegosaurus having had a keratin shoulder spike?
