What the T-Rex Scavenger Theory really meant

Calm down. To be fair I thotight to my self "I am gonna nail this kid" too.

Don't get overly defensive over my remarks, LOTS. Punctuation =/= me being an ass, and if you think this i could really care less because i was expressing me opinion.

If you do have an issue with me, address me via pm because we don't need flame wars.

What I am trying to say there is that people are criticizing him because of his old theory that was made in the latest 20th century or earliest 21st century (I don't know for sure), he did not know all the evidence. Hence why I said "Evidence buried in the ground". Also the quote is supposed to say that what I stated is the "moral of the story".

He is slrt of a hypocrite because, Well he should not make assumptions when he does not have evidence to prove it. 

The evidence used to support his hypothesis wasn't very good and he thought it was tried and true -- until people started picking it apart. He wanted people to think outside the box, challenge ideas. Well, his notion was very poor and now he's not taken very seriously.

Again, i don't care if you think my comments were rude in the slightest; that's your bad not mine.

/thread.

Actually I owe you an apology Carnosaur, you were just really correcting what I said. Although I still think you put it in sort of a rude way, you were just sort of correcting me I guess you could say.

Tyrant King almost all the evidence AT THE TIME he presented the theory pointed to a scavenging T-Rex.

K. 

No, it most certainly did not point to T.rex being a scavenger.

you're overgeneralizing. And atm, i don't really feel like picking apart his evidence....maybe later though

Jack horners "therory" was truly ignorant, bias, and was full of holes. He stated that t.rex could not hunt properly because it was simply to large. Yet he disent doubt the hunting prowess of a spinosaurs, this clearly shows his biasness. He was interviewed for jurrassic park 3. They wanted to know his thoughts on the predators of the movie and stated that spinosaurus was far more evolved for hunting and was a whale sized killer", that contradicted what he said about rex. He says rex is 6 tons and spino is like 12 tons yet rex, which is to big to hunt efficiently but spino is a super predator that " could have caused an extinction on the island" Which means he says a spino which is far bigger then rex is a better hunter. That is so messed up.

You are missing the point. He said spinosaurus was a super predator but it is alot bigger the rex and he thinks rex is to big to hunt.

i do like him. I admire and respect him. Just not his theroy on t.rex

do you have evidence for that claim?

Yes! I just said it in my post! He clearly stated that he thought spino was a better hunter. I can't post the video for the hundreth time. But look up jack Horner interview on jurrasic park 3.

Wasn't talking to you-- was addressing LoTS.

I thought you were LotS.

xD day = made

What does that mean?

i have to go to bed do lets continue this tomorow.

XD = Laughing face.

And the rest is him stating that you confususing him for LotS made his day.

Jack Horner is a good Paleontologist, he does a lot of work that the others are to afraid to do such as the grinding up bones that are to other scientists precious. and fragile. He dont care STRAIGHT IN he goes. BUT he discovers things like HEME which is a substance found in blood. his assistant recently found heme in a t rex skeleton. these are great discoveries. He is also trying to reverse engeneer a chicken and turn it into like a little COMPY. So the man does some good stuff for dinosaurs.

Reguarding the franchise. Because he was famous among the paleo's he got approached and gave his opinions. They went from his TREX scavenger opinion for the third film and thats y spino won the fight! He suggested a dinosaur which was bigger. And to help support HIS theory made it beat the REX. New evidence how ever states that the SPINO was a fish eater and more adapted for aquatic environment. so ON LAND, would probably have a disadvantage. For the movie this wasnt taken into concideration. its a coin toss who would win. animals that big just need to bite a throat and its game over pretty much. who ever gets it.

Horner also had a bit of rivalry with Robbert Bakker who is a TREX specialist, so it was a bit of a "f**k You" to him. If Bakker was the consultant, Rex would have won. its all opinion.

You can even tell horner is the consultant cos of the baby triceratops on the JW website. You ca see its horns curving backwards, when the adults go forwards. Thats his theory of Cranium onotony where they triceratops morph as they grow. I think its a silly theory because it doesnt happen to animals nower days! but then thats my opinion!

Tyrant King, he wasn't talking to you. He was referring to LORD OF SPINOSAURS.

I shouldn't add to this topic, I have heard many stories from my boss about Mr. Horner. Not exactly positive stories. :/
