>thinks dinosaurs had souls

Maybe not land animals but I'm sure a lot of sea creatures from precambrian eras are still around. Just hiding in the dark areas of the ocean.

>>17765920
Why that?

>>17765938
No predation, able to survive ice ages, natural food sources from deep thermal vents. Megaladon for example. I'm sure there's still a few out there in the darkest and loneliest part of the ocean. Much of the ocean is unmapped and unexplored

>>17765953
Uh, megalodon and the like isn't pre-cambrian, pre-cambrian creatures were very primitive.

But why wouldn't for example Quetzalcoatlus spirits still exist? (The image in the OP, it's a large pterosaur.)

I think there are theories that nessie is a ghost dinosaur

>>17765953
Megladon was a specialized whale hunter with high metabolism and distinctive hunting style. There may be giant sharks out there, but they would be most likley more like a greenland shark type. megaladon would leave traces of whales and be sighted in the shallows.

It hunted by tearing fins off whales immobilizing them then eating them alive.

Loch Ness is one example.

>>17765964
There were no large whales back then. Where the hell did you get this information. It's much more likely it hunted fish

Post about a extinct animals hunting methods without any evidence.

Falling victim to duality of history. Thinking you're opinion is stronger because of modern logic.

Humans have uncovered less then 5% of the ocean. Theres still time to have an open mind.

i dunno if it was a ghost, but i once saw a velociraptor, fully realistic. scared the crap out of me at the time. no feathers btw.

>doesn't know that even the chair he sits on has a soul.

>>17766197

There were smaller whales around which Megalodon likely fed on such as the Pygymy Right Whale which itself was thought extinct until one washed up in 2012.

>>17765903
I'm pretty sure that's the plot to that final fantasy movie.

>>17766357
>thinks that even the chair he sits on has a soul

>>17765903
Maybe in your instincts. Try to visualize ancient life and think about what kind of animals existed back then.

>>17765903
I felt the spirit of Micropachycephalosaurus no joke, but I think nobody will believe me

It hunted early baleen whales that were relatively small compared to modern species.

Ptera Dactyl does or does not share meaningful sound similarities to Petra Tactile?
Pterodactyl does or does not mean Rock Handler?

1. When did culture fork off and we get to see this new understanding of Raptorish Dinosaur?

I'd say that the image of Dinosaurs as bird-like started to re-enter pop culture in the 60s when Dienonychus the first dromeosaur/maniraptoran was discovered. Further discoveries in that group added to our knowledge of the group that birds emerged from and finally put an end to the debate about the origin of birds in the 90s which is also about the same time that the Jurassic Park movies were released which depicted maniraptoran dinosaurs as fast, intelligent and more bird-like in some of their mannerisms. Though it got the body covering of the animals totally wrong as at the time we didn't yet know that maniraptorans had feathers.

Here's a more up to date and accurate depiction of a closely related species, even the coloration of the feathers is based on fossil evidence of pigmentation.

Also pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs, but a closely related group of archosaurs. They also had a more hairy body covering, though their hair wasn't the same as mammalian hair.

>>17765903
Most likely telepathically, or astrally. Finding out where certain ones lived will help you narrow your search for what ones would be in your area. Happy travels!

>>17770503
Uh, any specific rites I could do to summon a specific species?

>>17768297
While that may be (I have to look up that term), everything has a soul in the animistic sense. Like in that pocahontas song.

>>17765953
Unless they're effectively immortal I would doubt they'd survive till present day. You need hundreds sometimes thousands of a species for it to survive, otherwise a genetic bottleneck effect sets in where they simply aren't genetically diverse enough not to get extincted by diseases.

>>17766213
I feel like you pulled 5% out of your ass. that seems alittle small of a number.

>>17770535
I know of none myself, I don't usually invoke random spirits, but think about it, any dinosaur spirits you find will be at least 65 million years old! That's kinda cool. I would assume most have found their way to the next life or merged with Gaia. I wonder if they had a name for her...

I've read some cryptid books that thought some cryptids were in fact echos of the past. Be it ghosts or possible time slips. Nessie, the dinos in Alaska and some of the African ones.....the pterosaurs over washington.

Personally, I think time slips. Human spirits seem to fade with time, so I doubt a dinosaur or anything older would 'survive' to our modern time.

You have to make a Dinosaur call. Shove a flute up your ass and shart into it. It'll attract anything from Quetzalcoatl to Velociraptors

If their souls are still able to be contacted, I'd think getting close to their bones is a good start.

indeed its a great picture

Megalodon was probably just Great White Sharks but with higher amount of oxygen in the environment and more abundant food allowing them for bigger growth. I honestly believe they are the same species as the ones now.

All that is dead is not gone, it walks the world and Astral realm just as it did in life.

The easiest way to contact a prehistoric spirit is deep meditation in ancient, isolated places where little has changed.

Spirits are a lot like the ground beneath us. The older layers are covered and obscured by the newer ones. You have to dig through things to find the spirits. The prehistoric spirits are like a wisp of smoke inside a fog.

And so, the easiest way is to go somewhere the ancient creatures flocked, somewhere that has changed as little as possible, and concentration. Pick your way through the modern era until you are where you want to be.

>>17773397
Nope. Ediacarans.

>>17773435

To put it simply weren't ediacarans a bit shit, hence why they died out.

We don't truly know if they could be classed as animals at all. Lichens maybe.

I don't think some of the people in this thread mean dull sessile organisms. I think they are hoping for Cthulhu.

Sometimes being an geophysicist ruins the magic...

They were. It`s hard to be cool witout a skellington.
However, there is a probability, that some of them are ancestors of modern groups, like molluscs.
Their forms are too complex for lichens. Some of them may be, but some are definitely metazoans.
Ctulchu is unlikely to be found here. Primitive shoggoths, on the other hand...

>>17773513

Ah yes, I remember studying about the hypothesised archeomollusc. Very interesting that was

>>17772787
Pterosaur fossils are rare, and I don't think I'll be allowed to conduct rituals in a museum. Are photographs of fossils enough?

>>17765903
Thanks for debunking spirituality and killing all my hopes for an afterlife.

>>17765903

Animals don't have unfinished business or strong psychic echoes to leave an imprint on the world when they die.

Some do, but very very few. Much rarer than human spirits.

You fucking roleplaying shitposters are ruining this fucking board. If you think what Lovecraft wrote is real, fucking kill yourself. Not just to clean up the gene pool, but because if what Lovecraft wrote was real, that would be the only sane option, upon discovering all of the new and terrifying vistas of reality.
