did anyone else have one of those 3d viewfinders as a kid? I had these nat geo slides of dinosaurs, which were really cool but I can't find any pictures of the slides themselves
I love the Allosaurus' pose in this.
>>2289628
Yeah
>>2290356
Absolutely positive?
>>2290360
Well not THAT positive but yeah
Okay so I always wondered about this. Can any man tell me what this oldschool Iguanodon is standing on?
Is it a segmented tree branch? Are its feet fused to someone's backbone? Is the Iguanodon in the process of splitting off Godzilla's tail?
This one comes from the classic early 1900s book The Origin of Birds. Even though these... things are drawn with surprisingly birdlike legs, the book still maintained that birds didn't come from dinosaurs.

Sorta looks like cycad/palm tree type bark to me, the stereotypical plants of the Mesozoic you know? So maybe it's meant to be standing on the branch of one, even though neither really have branches lol
Not exactly "old", but who remembers these? Some of the comfiest memories of my childhood

Does anyone have the really weird drawing of a Cave Family? It's from the 19th centruy IIRC

I love how fucked up early sketches were of some animals, particularly mammoths / mastodons.
"Hm, this looks a lot like our modern day elephants... Nah, this was obviously a carnivore that used its tusks to stab downward and dig holes."
>>2295382
"I've finally figured out the secret to these treacherous tusks! There we go... Right in the eye sockets. Perfect!"
So what sources can someone read newly updated facts about dinosaurs? Are there any current documentaries or that are accurate?
>>2295452
for the non-scientist Wikipedia is probably the most up to date source. It also links to the latest research.
>>2295454
>reading anything else than academic papers
this is the best way to read false information
>b-but I don't want to pay to for them
scihub
>>2295580
you know how I know you don't read dinosaur papers?

IIRC since Iguanadon was thought to literally be a giant Iguana that picture was probably meant to illustrate what it looked like by comparing it's bones to that of an iguana and drawing it in a stereotypical iguana pose so yeah it probably is supposed to be a tree branch.
>>2293146
>Paleontologists eventually realized the "horns" of an Iguanadon were claws
>Paleoartists assume these were the only claws it had and draw it fighting enemies by poking them with it's thumbs like some kind of enraged reptilian arthur fonzerelli
>>2296921
That's what I always imagined. Still odd how the branch is in pieces and the Iguanodon has no feet.
