i dont get ittt
According to paleontologists, there was never a dinosaur called the Triceratops, and it was actually a mature or immature form of another species. (I don’t remember the specifics)
The triceratops got shopped out.
recently scientists decided that triceratops were actually just younger forms of a bigger version of a triceratops, so they retconned it out.
Now triceratops don’t exist.
Oh, good. Because without a triceratop The Land Before Time can be realistic again and portray only real species of cute talking dinosaurs.
You made my day
lol
Mine too hahahaha
@Timmeh
It was probably an irregularly large Torosaurus.
It has been suggested that Triceratops were young Torosaur.
They said that the Tripceratops is the younger version of the Torosaurus. What I don’t get is why they just don’t say the Torosaurus is the older version of the Triceratops and give Toro the axe. We all know the triceratop is way more popular and loved, Sarah being an exception.
If Triceratops is a baby form of another dinosaur why don’t they leave the triceratops in the film since she IS a baby dinosaur
So true why ruin a child’s movie series?
Triceratops is actually what they are going to call the dinosaur, because that name preceded Torosaurus.
Here is the original fail post: http://failblog.org/2010/08/02/epic-fail-photos-remastered-for-science/
It says there:
“Wait, what?!
Scientists: ‘Triceratops never really existed’
Failer sopoRific adds some context up this post pretty awesomely:There has been some news of a recent paper that suggested triceratops and another species of dinosaur (without horns) should be considered the same species. But the speculation is that the horns are present for juveniles, making the poster a level 2 fail of a fail.”
Before it was updated with that info, I did some research:
Cera the Triceratops is from the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, 68 to 65 million years ago, in what is now North America.
Littlefoot the Apatosaurus is from the Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian and Tithonian ages), 150 million years ago, in what is now the US.
Petrie the Pteranodon is from the Late Cretaceous geological period, 99.6 – 65.5 million years ago, in what is now North America.
Ducky the Saurolophus is from the Late Cretaceous, 70 million years ago, in what is now Canada and Mongolia.
Spike the Stegosaurus is from the Late Jurassic period (late Kimmeridgian to Early Tithonian), 150 to 145 million years ago, in what is now western North America.
Sharptooth the Tyrannosaurus rex is from the last two million years of the Cretaceous Period, 67 to 65.5 million years ago, in what is now western North America.
Conclusion: Cera, Petrie, and Sharptooth could have been together. Petrie and Ducky could have been together. Spike and Littlefoot could have been together.
Brontosaurus’ are not real as well…
You know, they never actually call her a triceratops. They call them “Three Horns,” just like they call the various sauropod dinosaurs “Long Necks” and the pterosaurs “Fliers.” Since the whole triceratops/torosaurus thing is just a matter of terminology, it doesn’t really change anything in terms of the movies.
Ya’ know, what does it really matter whether or not tricerotops even existed.
This is a series of CHILDREN’S SHOWS, and I seriously doubt the kids even care.next, they’ll be telling us Tinkerbell and Santa Claus are made up. Where will it end?
Good, Sarah was a wh*re anyways…
