Deinonychus, my all time favourite.

Funniest thing is, the book where I found out about it put forth the idea Deinonychus might have had feathers, and it was written in the early 1980's. So I've sort of lived with the idea of feathered "raptors" ever since my childhood.

I like the ceratopsids, particularly Styracosaurus, and the big sauropods.

Chaptor.

Seriously, my favorite dinosaur has always been a velociraptor. No idea why, it was probably due to the Jurassic Park movie and books.

Fun Fact: In Jurassic Park II, INGEN had a long haired paleontologist with a beard and glasses. Remember that guy? Well that character is actually based on a well known paleontologist I used to see on TLC all the time when I was a kid.

And then he got scared by a snake, ran out through the waterfall, and the T-Rex ate him.
>> Anonymouse !3va26cL7i2

Yeah, the real life paleontologist was named Bob Bakker. Accomplished sketcher and shit like that. Spielberg visited Bakker's dig before shooting began for JP1 and after a few hours declared "This is boring, you guys are nuts!" or something like that and left.

Albertosaurus,

I loved dinosaurs as a kid, but was too old for dinotopia when it finally got published here in eurofagland.

I used to really like Dilophosaurus when I was younger, but somehow it doesn't seem so cool anymore. And no, Jurassic Park has nothing to do with that.

Ankylosaurus is where it's at. Look at this tough motherfucker, he'd break your Goddamn face with that club and there ain't a damn thing you can do to him because he's fucking armoured. You'd have to be one strong bastard to tip him.

This guy or a Styrakosaurus. Who needs a measly 3 horns when you can have them all over your fucking frill?

Those rocked. Coincidentally, my house burned down and the only possession of mine that survived was a Demetrodon dino-rider (minus the gear) that happened to be in the shed on the side of the house. I will treasure it.

Actually it is correct. The first reconstructions were based on the fractured skull of a hadrosaur called Tanius, that gave the illusion of a crest. However, since then more complete skulls were found that confirmed that we actually were right all along and there really was a unicorn-crested dinosaur named Tsintaosaurus.

>>191844

It wasn't a third finger, it was a hand bone made of the vestigial remains of a third finger, and would not have been visible on the animal in life.

Oddly enough, it was all the media hate against T.rex over the last decade or so (lol Horner--honestly, who in their right mind would ask a hadrosaur expert to give an informed assessment of theropods in the first place?) and having to correct people on such insanity that made me realize how awesome T.rex really was.

Then looking at the tyrannosaur family as a whole made me realize how even-more-fucking-awesome Albertosaurus was. So yeah, seconding Albertosaurus as all-time favorite, but voting T.rex as #2.

I don't understand how it can be so hard to find a proper restoration of an Archaopteryx when the fossils are perfectly clear about what kinds of feathers it had and where. Especially I hate the ones with a scaly lizard head. Just because the feather impressions were lost when preparing the skull, doesn't mean they weren't there originally!

It could be though that Archaeopteryx didn't have feathers on its head, but was instead like a vulture and scavenged a lot. Then again, feathered dinos are cute.

No no, that would be Archeoraptor, which was a bird fossil with a glued on Microraptor tail. Archaeopteryx is not only genuine but known from several fossils.
