MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 5:15 AMOk, so as the title says this is just a threadctobposy dinosaur myths or inaccuices. I wil start.
microraptor was not black colored.
allosauris was the ancestor to t.rex.
megalosaurids are frail.
no other theropod even came close to t.rex in terms of biteforce and bulk.
ok now you guys start.

MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 6:14 PM@MrHappy: Yes, I know.
@PK: That's because T.rex's bites are stronger. Theropods like Allosaurus didn't need a such strong bite force, because of their big gape. Tyrannosaurids' gape was relatively small if compared to Allosaurus', but it wasn't small as many people say - it's still pretty big.

MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 6:24 PM@ Carnosaur, One referring to the musculature surrounding the neck connecting to the bridge of the spine as well, factoring in other components. I can see if I can find it at work tomorrrow and PM if you like.
Btw, love reticulated pythons. Do you own one. I worked with one at my work! (I work at both a zoo and a museum.)

MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 6:58 PMActually TK, i think it might be a san francisco garter. Closely related and both garters but I believe they are a bit different.

MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 7:00 PMIt looks closer to the California red garter to me.
Primal King
MemberCompsognathusJan-05-2015 7:01 PMVery similar subspecies. Could be either.
