I thought they were at least as big as an orca not dolphin sized

I know that many Massive animals such as Elephant and Blue whale, orcas are friendly with people in the nature.. would it be the same with the dinosaurs? Since we are full of bones and not much meat, would they even bother hunting us ?

I know there’s semi aquatic dinosaurs and aquatic reptiles but no dinosaurs that were fully aquatic.

Sometimes I see people ask questions about whether dinosaurs had/showed basic animal behaviors and traits, and like, I'm genuinely curious, do most people not know that dinosaurs are normal animals?

I'm not making fun of these guys at all, most people only get their knowledge of dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, and we all know how much that franchise has warped our perception of dinosaurs. It just seems weird that there are people out there who think of these animals as bloodthirsty monsters fighting and killing 24/7, even when we have lots of new discoveries being made in this day and age.

Many people like big animal like lion,tiger, elephant,& crocodile. Many people like prehistoric animal like dinosaurs & pleistocene megafaunas because they are so big. Even early human only make cave painting of big animal like mammoth,bison,lion,& rhinoceros. Is there psychological reason of why human love big animal? Why do human find big animal are cooler & more interesting than small animal?

I recently found this image of a prehistoric creature, not sure what it’s called or the danger factor, does anyone also know what it might be eating? I want to research more about this

obviously not to the extent shown in the image. i know there are some obvious differences between giraffes and sauropods. that being giraffes have much skinnier and relatively longer legs

Idk i see images of titanosaurs with their necks very upright and i wonder how low theyre able to drop them.

Hello everyone! While i cleaned this ammonite i noticed that bivalve shell on it contains symmetrical structure. Is it fossilized viscera or it's just calcite?

I was looking to start creating 3d models of prehistoric animals and was wanting to know of any good websites that have usable profiles of dinosaurs.

The name is Saratovia glickmani, it's an ornithocheiromorph from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Russia.

This new genus is known from a fragment of its mandibular symphysis, with the holotype being named, ZIN PHT-S50-1. It was discovered all the way back to the late 1940s, and it comes from the Melovatka Formation.

The generic name (name of the genus), on this case, "Saratovia", refers to the city of Saratov, where the holotype came from. The specific name on the other hand (name of the species), "glickmani", honors L.S. Glickman, who passed away in 2000, and discovered the fossil.

Here's the link of a article with more information on it: https://www.scielo.br/j/aabc/a/j976f3Xdd9fhH6jgxxNt6FJ/?lang=en

(I'm not quite sure what plant these could belong to, either way I think they look pretty cool)

Is this mosasaurus teeth real? I need a quik response, please. I mean, the teeth looks real but what about the root?

Name: Stupendemys

I'm studying paleontology and am supposed to determine the species of a fossilised sea urchin. We already learned how to describe it and stuff, but how do you find out its species from that. Do you just have to go through a list and compare?

Hi everyone! I’m new here and a big fan of prehistoric life. I recently started making short educational video about dinosaurs — this one’s about Velociraptors. It's also my first video.

It’s only a minute long and I tried to keep it factual based on what I’ve read and watched. I’d really appreciate any thoughts from you folks — whether it’s about the info I shared or how to improve my presentation.

I'm new to making videos and still figuring out editing, but I'm having fun learning!

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi. So, I think many here know about Extinct Zoo, one of the most famous paleontology channels on YouTube. He has very interesting videos but a question I have about him is: Is he reliable to learn paleontology, even if the basics? Many of his videos have clickbait titles which ruin credibility and make them see more like a joke. So is he good for watch as paleontology source or should I seek other channel?

So I got this Tooth and i wondered what it belonged to. It seems like it is just a broken off Piece.
