>much more important than it having lips or not
Both of them have lips, that has nothing to do with it. The life on our planet recon couldn’t even get the teeth right, it has way too many teeth that are way too small and thin. There’s also a lot of questionable design choices they made, like giving it even more feathers than the PP rex, barely noticeable keratin on the brows and huge studded feature scales. Those aren’t necessarily objectively wrong but they’re definitely not in line with current understanding. They did least improve the final T. rex design a fair bit from the dogshit they were initially going to use, but it’s still nowhere near as good as PP’s. The fact the life on our planet rex is constantly screaming its lungs out and soifacing doesn’t help. They were never going for accuracy or realism in the show, there’s a reason the narrative is some dogshit about dynasties battling and is full of shit designs and retarded mistakes
>seems a lot more like a T. rex than the PP one
In what way does it “seem” more like a T. rex? If you can’t say specifically what it is that’s bad then it sounds like you just have a problem with the show and are looking for problems that aren’t there
>>
>>4822824
The PP one looks to be based on the Sue skeleton that is quatting because she didn't fit in the room but everyone went with the belly being that close to the ground in a neutral stance for some reason. >>4822664 is a perfect example of that

Its legs aren’t nearly as crouched as the Sue mount. That has nothing to do with the musculature or skeletal structure either. Even if it was squatting, that’d be just in this one scene and wouldn’t make as bad as the life on our planet rex let alone “one of the worst current t. rex in media”

That is exactly what i mean. people take that mount and apply the belly position as if it was in a neutral stance, making it look way fatter than it actually was

"crouching" moves the center of mass forward from the ball of the femur to somewhere closer to the knee.

this may have been the neutral stance, as it would allow the front-heavy animal to balance better. It's common in birds on the ground.

The complaint about the size and number of teeth on one depiction is valid if true. Teeth are diagnostic, if there's too many or they're too small it's probably the wrong species.

the complaints about girth or "fat" are probably wrong since that's actually just how wide the bones of the chest are. It's not fat, it's full of air. Round like a fricken sparrow.

In the saurian reconstruction the torso also reaches below the knee and the ph rex’s knee sits about equal to the torso. Even if there are slight differences it doesn’t seem like anything that can’t be due to individual variation, especially in prehistoric planet’s case where different individual animals have slightly different models. Even if it “looks” wrong on a first glance, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is. It’s not even fat for the sake of it like an engh drawing

dinosaurs are real by definition. They are a concept, and the concept is applied to real organisms.

>>4832789
The prehistoric planet rex is not based on that skeletal though. It’s legs might be a bit short but just looking at how far off the ground the belly is doesn’t really give you an accurate idea of how long the legs are, especially when you don’t account for different postures in the two pics and the doco model clearly has more meat on it than the skeletal. Leg length also varied between individuals, Stan’s femur is apparently longer than either Sue’s or Scotty’s despite being a fair bit smaller in overall size

there's a pretty huge margin of error due to taphonomy and diagenesis. It's normal for 2 femora presumed to be from the same dinosaur to be significantly different lengths.

this is a problem for everything from overall size estimates to reconstructing any skeleton ever.

I believe dinosaurs are real but that there are too many spurious genera/species and they ought to be consolidated.
I heard a saying once that if paleontologists were in charge of naming species of beetles, an order with 400,000 observed extant species, then they would have identified 10 million different species of beetles, and if entomologists were in charge of naming species of dinosaurs, an order with about 1500 different species (excluding modern extant birds), there would only be about 50.
>>

I know this pic is bait but it will always be funny to me because in the early days of paleontology dinosaurs were assumed to be big, dumb, slow reptiles. Now we know that Tyrannosaurus rex had vision comparable to a hawk, averaged at 8 tons in weight, and had the strongest bite of any animal that has ever existed. Dinosaurs have only gotten cooler the more we've learned about them imo. Also this is for all the "birds aren't scary" fags.

we have more evidence to support that than we do to suggest that it spent all it's time lying in swamps because it couldn't stand up or waddled around with the posture of a kangaroo. The important thing is that depictions of dinosaurs will always change the more we find out about them, but that doesn't make them any less "cool". Deinonychus having feathers is not a conspiracy created by the chinese and the jews in order to make people become transsexuals, despite what the paleoschizo might think.

It's a pretty huge leap from

>large eyes
>distantly related to birds

all the way to
>vision comparable to a hawk.

I mean most birds don't even have vision comparable to a hawk, and birds could actually use such a thing. T. rex had no use for it, and almost certainly didn't have it. They did have one of the most developed senses of smell ever, but that would indicate weak vision, not hawklike.

I get that scientists want to deboonk Jurassic Park, but hawk vision is dumb. The evidence for it is non-existent. They probably had better vision than JP implied, but that doesn't mean they had the greatest vision ever.

sure, compared to a zebra. Compared to a lion or a human it had shit binocular vision. And lions and humans certainly don't have hawk vision just because they have excellent binocular range.

>>
>>4833947
>The bird of prey comparison comes from that.
Yes, I am aware. That's why I specifically attacked the results of the study

1. Good binocular vision FOR A THEROPOD is shit binocular vision for lots of other animals.
2. Lots of animals with great binocular vision don't see as well as hawks
3. T. rex had one of the most developed senses of smell ever found, which usually indicates poor vision
4. Being distantly related to hawks doesn't imply that they had hawk vision, since even much closer relatives of hawks don't have it.
5. Hawks actually have a need for incredible vision, which T. rex didn't share. Rex wasn't hunting field mice from 500 feet in the air while moving at 45 mph

The hawk comparison is faulty. Rex had good vision for a theropod, but that was probably shit compared to a hawk.

notice this fossil STILL HASN'T BEEN PUBLISHED IN A JOURNAL

so /an/ remains completely unaware of it

it was mentioned in passing in Bell et al (2017). But since it was still for sale at that time it couldn't be formally described.
Now it's found a home in a museum, and will likely be published this year.

That certainly doesn't prove that I'm a dinosaur paleontologist

it merely proves I attended one of Larson's lectures and/or personally communicated with him about the fossil.

Though I don't imagine any non-paleontologists are attending Larson's lectures or talking with him about unpublished T. rex mummies he's found. That would be weird.

Yes one possibility I hold in consideration is that you rubbed shoulders with someone and parrot what you get from them to try and be cool on 4chan. Maybe he's your dad's best friend. Maybe he's your dad! Maybe you just overheard it and they don't actually know you. Who the fuck knows. All I know is you are curiously unable to do more than just claim. You're a sideshow. I had one question, wheres your soft tissue sperg, all you had to do was
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2017.0092

I wasn't even involved in your eyeball argument. Shocking I know. I can look at T. rex and know there's no way that overgrown jock ostrich had or needed eyesight as good as a hawks. I already knew about its oversized olfactory bulb, and that while it probably had to have good sight compared to its contemporaries, because being tall, blind, and decently fast is not a good combination, it was most likely not hyper-specialized for hunting from 250 feet in the air while moving at 120mph in a full dive. I also know this is pure "common sense" speculation and only retards argue over it.

>>4834279
I did get the authors. They can be googled. I did get that was "new observations". I did in fact know about the dueling dinosaurs and the skin impressions. But I didn't ask for passing mention. I asked for the resident gloating child to put up something more concrete instead of hints. I thought you knew about what is normally meant by a mummy, but instead you just overheard that some more t rex skin was found oh well, I also already knew the phylogeny is fucked by featherfaggotry and not every theropod ever evolved from a bird, just that a lineage of feathered theropods certainly existed, or there would not be birds. I just wanted to see a god damn t. rex mummy not your mental condition

>everyone accusing everyone of samefagging is a staple across all boards.
so is posting from multiple IP's either by accident or on purpose.

I post from 2 devices with dynamic IP and from 3 cell phones that change IP several times per day if I don't travel and several times per hour if I do.

I've been as many as 100 ID's in a single thread without even trying. The counter was always bullshit.

He didn't actually lie

>I have a very interesting paper about feathers in T. rex coming out soon

what anon didn't know is that was also my paper. And what it said about T. rex feathers is it didn't have any.

just like Lindsay Zanno has a very interesting paper about T. rex feathers coming out soon

spoiler alert:
it didn't have any.
