What are the small little dinosaurs?

Bad news just found this picture. These Legos could be fake because one of the raptors matches this design, though it could be the first set we see!

That's another good theory Noah! Also I just noticed if these are in fact real the Rex will be orange!

Tyrant King, seriously ?  I showed you the data from the guy, I don't have the paper at hand, it's not still published. Is that so difficult to understand ?

Spinosarus Rex, I'm older than you. Son.

Normally a simple copy of my discussion was enough, on other board, no one asks and harass for a screenshot of a communication. Then I've posted the screenshot but some now are asking for the entire conversation as screenshot. 

The guy states his opinion because he certainly has other works to do than to give a lengthy responses on FB to a random guy and to share not yet published discussions, maybe still under discuss at now. You don't know how scientific domain works or what ?

Well contact him, get rude with him ? Ahah, you're going to harass the guy if he doesn't give the responses you'd like maybe ? You believe professionnal paleontologists owe you something maybe ? There's a really strange mentality on that board...

A new reconstructed animal with the latest revision, and I'm certainly giving more credits to Ibrahim's team than to "Carnosaur", "Tyrant King" or "Spinosaurus Rex". 

i agree with noah

My theory is that it could be that some Nublar raptors survived and adapted to jungle life, hence the green coloring to blend in, and some were created for JW.

Yes! I do believe you're on to something here! The varying colourations is quite interesting. Each raptor could play important and unique parts in the story but before we see any footage or anything maybe we should just take it with a grain of salt. Wonderful observation however!

Your beating around the bush instead if just showing us evidence. The thing about the three if us( carnosaur, spino rex, me) are persistent as hell if you haven't already noticed. Aresale we ask is for pics or some form of evidence.

Im 20 son, and if i recall, i dont think we asked you to show yourself in anyway, you're kinda just going overboard, we just asked for a simple screenshot, which i guess you did, but the guy just states his opinion instead of going into depth on why he thinks the way he does. Im not afraid to contact him and/or get rude with him if necessary. I'm not afraid to say what i need to, which is the exact reason why i told you to cool it. We are talking about a new recontructed animal that hasnt been proven to be the correct image of it, so i suggest you drop the bias act.

Also, the D-rex/Metriacanthosaurus has an Allosaurus looking vibe to me.

There's nothing special about talking to paleontologists, I've never expressed any pride from that.

I just see that you don't want to do it, maybe because you fear what they might say when they respond to you?

 My 50 posts are about that because the guys I'm talking to just don't want to believe me, because they don't want Spinosaurus to be downsized or more likely they don't want their opinion appear to be flawed.

Like if that was incredible that someone can contact a paleontologist. I've posted the response and even the screenshots and you still keep doubting ?

You just don't want to see the truth that's all.

One question, how old are you guys ?

This is so awesome finally a pic of what D-Rex looka like! Plus I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but each velociraptor has it's own color and pattern, maybe revealing that they may be a major part of the movie, they may have their own names and personality. Not nesacerely the good guys, but a big part of the story!!! Im so excited!

Well, I'm of the opinion they're legit. Though, that model might not be the D-rex. It may be the Metriacanthosaurus.

You got a PM carno.

Instead of yapping about how you talk to those paleontologists you show us all evidence. I don't believe you cause all 50 of your posts are based around how you talked to this guy. you should say what he actually said to you, that is if you even talk to him. And post a paragraph of what we says and make it so we know you talk to him and not just randomly found his post and put it on here.

I have not talked about ethnicity but only that I don't speak or write English that good. 

You confuse language problems and ethnicity ? Great.

That's not my word, that's Simone Maganuco word. I don't make my own facts and estimates like you do behind your screen as an improved expert.

Regarding the data, I've just asked him why the body mass was revised since Dal Sasso et al.2005 7-9 tons estimate. 

I'll give you the response through a screenshot, hoping that you don't need the day to read it and understand I'm not cheating my discussions and sources.

Well I can ask specifically in a short question why there was such a downsizing, hoping he does not respond "I can't share as of now the content of the future detailled study".

But I can ask him. And you know, if you have FB, you can ask him too. 

I've read your examples and I'm unconvinced, the new shape of Spinosaurus really implies a shrunk weight estimate compared to the older, large legged, more massively chested reconstructions.

There will be a damned paper about that as he said.

Thanks for the insult.

He doesn't give reasoning and ?

This is discussed in the manuscript which will be used in a further paper. You think he's going to give a extended explanation about a not yet published study to some random guy on Facebook ? Seriously man...

If you have FB, you contact the guys, and done, you're clarified. 

I'm not the one who started to use snakes as examples, that's carnosaur member thing.

All what I do is report responses from one of the paleontologists working on it and the facts regarding the body structure of these critters.

I did not say that do not put words in my mouth! I just wanted evidence!

thanks, so are you.

well the anaconda and reticulated python isn't a rex or spino but, hey you still used that as an example so that is not a valid argument.

What are you suggesting ? That Maganuco is lying ? That my screenshot is a fake ?

You're incredible dude.

Tyrannosaurus is bulkier, barrel chested and the largest individuals are estimated in excess of 8 tons.

Spinosaurus is longer, slender, shallow chested and the largest individuals are estimated between 6 and 7 tons. Period.

I've posted the screenshot three times. And no, no racial argument, only you attempted to discredit me because of my language. Well, I'm not a native English speaker, that's all.

Is there any reason you bring up Ibrahim.

I've already posted the screenshot. But since I'm a nice guy I post it again !

Copy the link and put it in your bar adress. 

Because Tyrannosaurus is not a lion and Spinosaurus is not a crocodile.

It sounds interesting.

The environment does matter on a general principle than marine animals are generally heavier than land animals.

Spinosaurus a semiaquatic animal, with very short legs, long, shallow torso and very narrow skull. No wonder the weight estimates from Ibrahim et al. are lower than previously thought.

So the largest carcharodontosaurids and tyrannosaurids are (slightly) heavier than the largest Spinosaurus individuals.

I'm just going to stay out of this before it gets any worse for me...

Well then post a screenshot. Ane tell md why the lion/croc example was bad.

No i'm not on carnivora.

Fair enough for your last post Gigadino.

Because you don't have to look at the lifestyle, just at the body structure and weights estimates deduced from them. Spinosaurus is estimated by Ibrahim et al. 2014 at between 6 and 7 metric tons.

Don't be a jerk ? I bring evidences for this since this morning, I've even directly asked to Maganuco to be sure of the mention on Cau's blog, and the guys are still doubting of my word and dare to even ask me a screenshot of my private conservation ! 

And I am the jerk around ?

Actually the eviorment does matter.
