oh hedgehog iguanodon, cute

>>5099229
Cool

what a weirdo
>inb4 feather fags latch on to this ignoring the fact that these are unique structures that are not feathers or ignoring that we have scaly skin impressions from iguanodon
prepare for a flood of feathered iggy art

>>5099242
Even if they were feathers they would ignore that this thing is the size of a dog and not the size of an elephant

>>5099242
its genetically trivial as fuck for scales to become quills and vice versa and who knows, maybe commonly triggered by a now extinct type of retrovirus

a lot of featherfaggotry centers around “independent evolution of feather-adjacent structures is unlikely!” so they find one thing with quills and so they put vaned feathers on everything allegedly newer but related and quills on everything contemporary and older to fulfill their fallacious dedication to simple solutions. more probable does not mean true, it means first guess to be investigated.

assuming it was adult size
assuming it had an adult size
assuming it didn't keep growing its entire life
assuming bone histology is diagnostic of growth stage in reptiles

that's a lot of assuming

>>5099292
Shut up fag

You are all so fucking stupid to think that any of this should even be debated. It's China. It's fraud. End of discussion. And at this point any paleontology is fraud after corona. Nobody fucking cares anymore. Nobody's policing these subhuman grifters. This shit's going to continue to spiral until people just straight up start killing paleontologists.

It's fake. That's it. End of discussion.

They already do this with Triceratops.

Why are trannies and other pedos such obnoxious fucking pests, Jesus Christ.

Why can’t we have a single normal dinosaur thread

>>5099614
I do not blame them considering how insufferable featherfags were 10 years ago

>>5099614
when paleoschizo accidentally falls off his balcony in some delusion and dies instantly the threads will get better

Is it me or did we have a small vacation from him? he didn't seem as prevalent in the past months

All I'm saying is, if the first toy company to make a figurine of Haolong is not Haolonggood then there is no justice in this universe.

>>5099762
he seems pretty demoralized nowadays considering >>5099465

>>5099762
i can't pray hard enough that he contracted HIV and that his days are frighteningly numbered

>>5100007
Yeah he's not even trying to pass off as a normal person

today is the best time in history to be able to experience Dino Island
66 million years ago was the worst
and even if we recreate it now
it will not be the same
for really its those 66 million years that I grieve

paleoschizo time

>>5099242

I bet posterior studies will confirm these to be feathers.

>>5099273

Hair evolved a total of two times among vertebrates. Feathers it is, because Occam's Razor

>>5099969
I'm pretty sure the paper said they weren't feathers

>2 times
Besides mammals and their relatives what was the other time?

How long before gotta go fast iguanodon memes pop up

>Besides mammals and their relatives what was the other time?

In the common ancestor of dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

Dude i agree paleoschizo is a retard but to act like the annoying featherfags i'm talking about there don't exist is just as retarded

>>5100250
you're indistinguishable from him
if you don't want to be mistaken for him maybe you should try not sounding just like him
