MemberAllosaurusApr-13-2021 9:25 AMI’ve recently remembered a book I had when I was younger. I tried finding with no luck. When reflecting on my memories of it I’ve discovered I have a soft spot for Classical Dinosaur Art. The style and portrayal just is something special.
What do you prefer, Classical or Modern?

I like..hmmm...honestly, i can't decide. Old, dragging-tailed dinos show the effort of reconstructing something but not quite getting it right, but still trying
New, bird-like dinosaurs by people who pour their hearts into researching these animals.
i'm going to go with a tie for me.

MemberAllosaurusApr-13-2021 2:30 PMI've watched from an old dinosaur documentary on how some of those old reconstructions actually damaged the fossils to make their tails drag, I never forgave those old dinosaur reconstructionists for doing that to those millions of year old fossils. Thankfully modern museums use replicas instead of the actual fossils

So I think the same applies to dinosaurs.
