That would mark the peak of paleontology, but it's very unlikely. |

Judging by its beak shape I'd say herbivore is more likely (possibly omnivore).

I thought that was vomit they hacked up. As for people they aren't archosaurs, which would be more comparable for behaviors such as that, so I'm pretty sure that wouldn't apply with dinosaurs. |

No no, seabirds vomit. Llamas and other camelids just spit. |

It seems that Camelid spit is spit usually mixed with stomach contents when they spit. http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/camel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca#Spitting Even then using mammals to compare defensive behaviors in archosaurs isn't always the best comparison. Dilophosaurus more likely vomited then hack up mucus. |

Even then, it was more likely a defensive or territorial thing to do, not blind prey with it. |

How valid is this hesperornis reconstruction? ![]() It says in the Dinogoss blog that it's unlikely for teeth to be sheathed by a beak, thus making the reconstruction above more "correct" than the ones with teeth in beaks. So uh, does this mean the other hesperornis reconstructions are wrong...? Edited by Tyranachu, May 26 2015, 08:03 AM.

It's indeed unlikely that teeth can grow on rhamphotheca, as far as I know..

That is the most accurate Hesperornis restoration out there to date. Unless someone else actually drew one taking ALL of his Hesperornis posts to heart. Because there's a LOT people do wrong with Hesperornis. Like giving it visible knees, ankles joints and shins, apparently. |
