I once saw a picture and read about a dinosaur foot that still had some dry skin and meat around it. Does anybody know if it is real and which dino it was from? |

It could be any one of a number of different fossils. Fossilized skin and muscle are very rare, but not as uncommon as that. Off the top of my head, two dinosaurs that have had mummies like this found are Edmontosaurus and Psittacosaurus. |

Don't forget Carnotaurus. Speaking of which, does anyone know how large the horns of Carnotaurus actually were? Because in reconstructions I've seen them range from small knobs to nearly cattle-sized horns. Edited by CyborgIguana, Feb 28 2015, 01:13 AM.

![]() This is as good as any ref. If you plan on drawing one, could probably add somehting like 10% length increase to account for keratinous sheaths around the horns. |

Was it by any chance this? ![]() If it is that's an Upland Moa foot. |

Your sounds more like Fanfiction than a guess. As others pointed out Pyroraptor isn't likely to have reached the island: it was too big to just float up to the place, and since it was warm blooded it might have even died of starvation before getting there. The "carried by pterosaur" theory doesn't make sense, nowadays birds can carry other organisms from a place to another, but just very small ones (pollens, seeds, parasites,invertebrates stuck on them) and just by accident: it wouldn't make sense for a Hatzegopteryx to pick up a meal and then fly away for miles only to loose it, instead of eating it in place (and a baby dromaeosaur wouldn't stand a chance against it, so no hope of it being able to free itself). And even then, a single isolated and accidental even like the one you said isn't enough to say the species could be found on the island. Otherwise, we can also say there were hadrosaurs living IN the wester interior seaway, because we found their remains there. |

Their ancestors probably have crossed the sea to that island long time before, when that island wasn't too far from mainland and once the island split itself further, the dinosaur got stuck on it and evolved. Same thing happened to Columbian or any main land mammoth that crossed into Channel Island. |

How can we be certain that they can't swim? Southern Cassowaries which have smiliar body shape can swim pretty well, and they are spread from New Guinea to Australia. Alvarezsaurids probably swam across the sea from mainland to the island when they are close together enough. Edited by Mathius Tyra, Feb 28 2015, 12:14 PM.

Or they were present in the area before it split into several islands. I don't know if it's the case, however. |

Yeah.... The only one way to know it for certain is to study the kinship of mainland and the island Alvarezsaurids that live in the same time about how distinct they are from each other.... But first we... We need to find a lot more better specimens of both sides... |

How are you so sure Alvarezsaurids couldn't swim? I'm not suggesting they would willingly or even if they would know they could, but most bipedal animals with semi-strong legs can swim. The fact that they have weird hands wouldn't make a difference since humans are the only bipedal animals I can think of that use our arms when swimming. |

the only alvearzsaur i think ever swam is bradycneme because its twice as big as the others and i think they were not adapted to swim but since bradycneme was strong enough it could likely swim with ease . also chimps use there arms in swimming. |

It's not a matter of size, more of muscles and body proportions. Size only affects the distance covered, as a larger animal can move for longer distances. |
