Y’know, the mosasaur got out at the beginning of the movie, a juvenile Pachycephalosaur ran into the woods and then there’s the stuff that got sold. It’s not like a few more dinosaurs in NorCal will change much. Especially cause all the results are reproducible AND probably published
AND it’s 2018 we have a big chunk of someone’s tail, it’s not like there’s never any other potential dinosaur DNA in amber out there.
* okay so Charles Knight was showing really active fast moving tyrannosaurids in the 1890s and Ostrom and Bakker started really turning out papers when there were brand-new Fleetwood Mac tracks on the radio.
this leads me into wanting to blather how dinosaurs are one of the best parts of aging.
I first learned about dinosaurs long ago when they were massive green or dull brown reptiles, and that was AWESOME*.
Now, dinosaurs are a diverse clade with all sorts of little feathery Yixian Formation fauna as well as even more big ceratopsians and species which changed bone structure as they aged. Dinosaurs got EVEN AWESOMER.
How freakin' awesome are dinosaurs going to be by the time I'm actually old?
hey LOOK it's Indoraptor with a big phallus art, over on FA! Do I;
a) admire!
b) snarl because AFAIK Jurassic World still goes with the JP thing so the Indoraptor is canonically a girl?
c) say something about feathers and how apparently in JW if you cross a dromaeosaur and a tyrannosaur you get therezinosaur arms
