Scientists reveal most accurate depiction of a dinosaur ever created

[Rocâ„¢]

[QUOTE=_charon;51057229]Relatively speaking, depictions of Psittacosaurus haven't changed all that much since it was discovered. Biggest new thing was the quills, which are completely awesome.

edit: for comparison, much older depiction of same dinosaur

That thing looks like it smoked the foundations of the marijuana dispensary man.

The first I learned of All Yesterdays [URL="http://www.bogleech.com/allyesterdays.html"]was from Bogleech.[/URL]

Surreal to say the least, but it's also really thought provoking at the same time.

I think my favorite part of the book is the way they represent mosasaurs. An excellent demonstration of a realistic approach to a marine reptile.

Unfortunately, the image isn't present on the net, but this drawing is based on the AYY interpretation of a mosasaur (All Your Yesterdays is worth it for $9 as a digital book download.though):

Compare what we're usually portrayed (below the sketch) with against one that has actual musculature and streamlining and you can see how problematic shrinkwrapping is in our interpretations of ancient creatures.

Edit: Found it, the protrusion at the front is supposed to be it's tongue, as their relatives, the monitor lizards, as well as sea snakes use their tongues to help locate food via scent.

Doesn't seem too bad aside from that tuft of grass growing from its tail
