Here's something for the ankylosaurus lovers, an insanely well preserved fossil (the one they found in a tar sand mine years ago I believe):
Deinonychus
Triceratops
The walking tank Ankylosaurus

I was going to go for a brontosaurus but this little dude looks so insanely happy, i can just imagine it marching along in some Chinese military parade.Deinonychus
I've always had a soft spot for the Dimetrodon:
look at that smug badass.

Rutiodon
Just look at how little he's changed the past millions of years.
I don't care about 'coolest' dinosaurs except to eat them. To hunt and eat them.
And I mean fried or bbq'd, or maybe hickory smoked.
And dried jerky.
I swear you guys are worst than spacewalk truthers >:-( Why won't you leave my childhood alone? ;_;
Your childhood was scientifically inaccurate.
Will dropping a snowball in the isles of the Smithsonian correct this issue?

Is this the one the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park we're based on? Pretty cool.
I think actual Velociraptors we're the size of chickens. Not so cool.
Since I was a kid, it has been Deinonychus. I've been to the Yale Peabody museum so many times, but my first was a field trip when I was in 2nd grade and I remember learning about this guy because of John Ostrom and Bob Bakker and their connection to Peabody.
This iconic Bakker illustration is one of my favorites:
But I prefer feathers. I took this pic from a book I own:
In the last few years, I've come to want to know more about Balaur Bondoc, the double clawed raptor:
How come we call ancient insects, mammals, reptiles and fish by their proper names of ancient [whatever], but ancient birds have their own name, dinosaurs?
Is it just legacy from when we didn't know birds are just evolved dinosaurs?
I just find that not thinking of birds as dinosaurs kind of cheapens bird's amazing history and also makes some kind of romantic fantasy where every dinosaur is gone and there's nothing left but bones which isn't really true at all.
To me, having a neo-dinosaur in a cage on my front porch is way cooler than pretending they're all gone and nothing is left.
this.
Fuck feathers.
You realize not all dinosaurs were avian or feathered? Team feathers can give it a rest.
Must have been a beast to behold:
Or maybe:
Right?
