I hope I can witness another major paradigm change in my lifetime. They used to think meteorites could not possibly have fallen from the sky. Not too long ago the strict scientific consensus was that the Milky Way galaxy WAS the entire universe. The respected authorities laughed at plate tectonics.
Fossils require such specific conditions that there almost certainly were some really wild prehistorics that we'll never find

According to Wikipedia,

"In late 2015, an expedition aboard the RV Investigator rediscovered the organism and collected 85 specimens in a manner that allowed genetic analysis, putting an end to the prior speculation.[10]"

So they aren't entirely extinct.

>>2278404
I never came across his books as a child, but I later discovered that a good chunk of the dinosaur pics I grew up with were blatant copies of Sibbick's work. Or sometimes copies of copies. He was influential as hell in the 80s and 90s.

Same with Mark Hallett, another one of the greats whose work I only knew through plagiarized ripoffs.

Sucks how art made for generic kids' books often gets overlooked even if it's well made.

Like Steve Kirk's art. All those individual critters he painted back in the 80s showed up fucking everywhere during the 90s and 2000s, they're basically the epitome of cheap dinosaur stock art.

But he also painted many full scenes, giant foldouts and multi-page spreads. I had a dime-a-dozen dino book with some of his stuff as a kid, and it'd be great to see some of that in good quality. Pic related is the only thing I could find.

Yeah his art is dated now, but it stood out from all the lazy Sibbick clones back in the 90s. Had a lot of unique compositions and nice color schemes for animals. Underrated as hell.

A giant compendium (or at least coffee-table book) on the history of paleoart would be grand. I know there have been efforts made with a similar idea, but they almost always fell short and none have really pushed for a bigger scope.

I mean I know it's not a popular subject, so putting together all that art would cost a fuckton for the publishers and the product would be too pricey. Even that Dinosaur Art: The World's Greatest Paleoart book that came out a few years back could only afford to feature a certain number of artists. There's been different approaches made for the mass market, like The Great Dinosaur Discoveries about the history of the field, but that also suffered from having limited space and a small budget.

But yeah, imagine an all-encompassing book that goes through all the important stuff, from Mantell's Iguanodon-on-a-branch and the Crystal Palace freaks to Knight, Zallinger, Burian and the early stop-motion films and mid-20th century B movies, the Renaissance, Jurassic Park, the Walking with... shows and All Yesterdays. Would never happen, but it's a tantalizing idea.

Alternatively, it could make for a comfy tv show. There are documentaries about art in general, and there's that short Attenborough series about old beliefs and misconceptions regarding existing animals, so the format is already there. Even outside of art, paleontology has had so many interesting people shaping it, so many ridiculous beliefs that spread into the public's mind, it's a goddamn shame that docu makers almost never try to capitalize on this stuff.

Anyway, here's master Burian painting what would eventually become Godzilla. That's a big pop culture shaping connection right there.

I like how many of those dinos are clear copies of famous old-timey artwork. Which is completely normal, since lots of artists kept ripping off the same pieces (and some still do so), but it's interesting to see what kind of places these copies pop up in.

The AMNH totally exists! It may have never looked like that 100 years ago, or it may have been a temporary exhibit done in papier-mâché. Mind you it's an illustration of a proposed exhibit drawn by someone who probably used London's Crystal Palace as source material, which also totally existed and fragments of which survive today.

>>2283875
No, it's "Frightening carnivores"

>>2283920
Yeah but the American version of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins' dinosaur zoo never came to fruition. Hired vandals smashed his workshop to pieces before the exhibit could have opened.

Granted, the models would have looked stupidly outdated after a few years. But it would have been neat to have American counterparts to the Crystal Palace monstrosities.

>>2284108
I read through that book a while ago, and I can't tell whether it was written by sapient lifeforms. It's a loony mishmash of obsolete, pre-dinosaur renaissance bullshit, random bits of info scraped together from early 90s children's books, and just genuine dumbassery. And all of the artwork is plagiarized from pieces of Zdenek Burian and Giuliano Fornari (much of whose work was, in turn, ripped off from John Sibbick).

It says both that Proavis must have been real and that birds came from dinosaurs. It claims that dinosaurs didn't care for their nests, it confuses Hypselosaurus with Hypsilophodon and says that a Diplodocus skull belongs to a mammal.

It's fucking amazing, I keep finding more and more bullshit almost every time I open it up.

the idea was that this was a "sinful" world before the flood essentially without God
then God flooded the world, killed the dinosaurs and brought hope once more.

I don't want an argument about religion because that's not what I mean, just talking about artistic ideas behind these works and a lot of early art portraying prehistoric life as nasty brutal and short devoid of Gods light.

>>2270280

Hahahaha ikr? My fav one was the Coelophysis cannibalism thing which -while could be possible- actually turned out to be BS because most of the "baby" fossils weren't even the same species. Also liked the mystery behind the Deinocheirus claw, especially now that we know what it looked like.
Still, BS or not, it really made my childhood and established my inner dino nerd.

On the topic of Hungarian paleoart, for the longest time I had no clue what this animal was supposed to be, until I managed to figure out that it's an incredibly retro Struthiosaurus that somehow found its way into a book from the 90s.

The translated version has the same weird smell so I know it's the same book. Definitely one of the best.

Am I the only one who would eat their pets if they sucked?

>>2278437
I gotta wonder how they determine what the animal looked like based on a few bones

>>2289230
You start by studying human anatomy. This is because animal anatomical terms are the same as human ones or based on them. You learn as much anatomy as a student doctor or surgeon does. You dissect a lot of humans.

Next you study animal anatomy to learn how animals evolved over time, and what weird anatomies are out there. You dissect a lot of animals.

Next you specialize in dinosaur anatomy which is mostly just osteology. You learn which traits all dinosaurs had, and you study a lot of dinosaur bones and skeletons. You learn how to identify fragments of bone to the level of which bone they are based on shapes like curves and ridges and such. You get good enough to ID a dinosaur bone fragment sitting half buried and broken to bits.

Next you specialize in a particular type of dinosaur, you may choose to study theropods or stegosaurs or sauropods or whatever. You travel to museums and you look at bones and bone fragments to see what tiny little features are found in your type of dinosaur. You don't concentrate on overall appearance or shape of the animals since that isn't informative. You look at little ridges of bone, tiny holes in the bone where nerves or blood vessels passed through the surface. Tooth counts, which bones participated in fenestrae and how they joined. Things like that, tiny details that are more likely to be preserved in a bone fragment and are also constant in a certain taxon. You learn these details by heart and read the literature to learn more. Eventually you carry in your head a catalog of all the identifying features of various dinosaurs you're interested in, as well as a catalog of all the literature and other experts out there that have information about your dinosaurs. You become an expert.

Then when you encounter bones or bone fragments from your area of expertise you can know at a glance what species they are if they have diagnostic characters, or if they're a new species in your area of expertise or someone else's.
>cont.

>>2289230
>>2289271
>cont
Once you've identified which dinosaurs your new species is related to by certain diagnostic characters you set about deciding which animals it's most closely related to and whether it is more primitive or derived than others in its family tree. You do this by knowing the age of the fossil, and by knowing how the features you're looking at probably evolved.

this involves setting up a computer program to compare the features of your bones and bone fragments to features of related and unrelated animals. You set up some variables and run your computer program repeatedly until you get the most parsimonious and thus most likely results. Of course those results aren't PROVEN FACT or anything, they're just the best guess based on current information and material. It's very likely more bones and more skeletons and more species will be found in the future that will change your results.

but once you've decided via computer program which animals your new species is most related to, and whether it is more primitive or derived than those animals, you may mock up a guess as to what it looked like. Knowing for example that it's more primitive than other animals you may guess that it had other primitive features known from other skeletons and you may guess that those same primitive features were present in the new species.

Finally you look at morphology to make guesses about paleoecology of the animal and include those guesses in your reconstruction. For example the animal may have teeth or a snout that indicate a particular feeding habit and thus a particular ecological niche that tends to shape animals in a certain way. Ecology is an important area of study for the anatomist.

After all these factors are considered you have a guess based on the animal's closest known relatives, ecological niche, level of 'evolution,' and some artistic license. This gets published where it's immediately criticized by other scientists and the public in general.
