This Famous Horned Dimosaur Never Existed!

Ғылым және технология

Throughout the history of paleontology, there are probably hundreds of fossil specimens that are just absolute shite. They can give you what is tantamount to census data - Oh, ceratosaurs were here, Oh! Triceratops-like horned dinosaurs were there. However, all these very common fossils don’t tell you just how biodiverse any given group of animals were at any given time. This is because of the bias of the fossil record, which destroys most fossils before us bald apes ever get to them. The most atrocious cases of superfluous fossil material of subpar quality are those groups of animals that were extremely common throughout time. If I were to zero in on everyone’s favorite dinosaur topic of conversation, you’d see that this is often the case with herbivorous dinosaurs such as ornithopods and ceratopsians. And of these, the worst offenders are Edmontosaurus and Triceratops - two of the most common dinosaur fossils even when compared to Triassic and Jurassic rock layers.

    Black and white rhinos don't really compete, black rhinos have a narrow, almost beak like jaw for more targeted browsing, the white, whose name is actually a mistramslation from Afrikaans name which means 'wide' -describing it's wide mouth for grazing.
