We can generally tell from the fossil record which dinosaurs DID have feathers, but since feathers are difficult to fossilize - and only in rare cases fossilize - it’s difficult to prove that a given dinosaur did NOT have feathers. So far, we know that most groups of theropod dinosaurs (compsognathids, tyrannosauroids, therizinosaurs, dromaeosaurids, troodontids, and other more bird-like groups) are represented by feathered species. We also know that feathers or feather-like “protofeather” structures are present in some non-theropod dinosaurs, such as small ceratopsians (Psittacosaurus) and a heterodontosaurid (Tianyulong).
The more feathered dinosaurs we’ve found, the more evidence for feathers across much of Dinosauria becomes: we now have evidence for small-bodied members of nearly all carnivorous dinosaurs; I would not be surprised if we found evidence of feathers or feather-like integument in all herbivorous dinosaurs as well. As an aside, the structures in Psittacosaurus are a series of large quills extending upwards from its tail; a Triceratops specimen with skin impressions shows large ‘nipples’ in the middle of leathery scales, which at a poster presentation at the 2007 SVP meeting was interpreted as the base of a similar quill. Here’s a bizarre (but probably accurate) reconstruction."

Is…Is that a Dreamworks series trying to make money off of “Cars”, “Jurassic World”, and “Transformers 4” all at the same time?

This topic is a dream come true! Now I can discuss dinosaurs with people who like dinosaurs and not bore my family to death anymore!
And whoever said Spinosaurus was the best I have to disagree… because I just have to :stuck_out_tongue:
Allosaurus for the win!


Totally accurate depiction by the way…

You summon dino maniacs without mentioning me?

I reckon the feather one actually looks better, and I think that had Jurassic Park been made today, they should have used the feathery design.

ey boss, saw a glimpse of a news report of a new dinosaur fossil. They don’t know if it’s a new dinosaur or an old one that looks different. Looks like a triceratops without the horn on the nose, just a beak
