What's your favourite underrated dinosaur?

Oh don't give me that! Everyone likes dinosaurs...liar 😏
Hmm. What about the Sinornithosaurus? Not only dangerous but also cute looking.

Thalattosuchia. It's the giant croc dinosaurs of the water. Massive!

Crikey xD

But maybe I didn't pick a predatory dinosaur on purpose
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@Tom1234p: You still picked an interesting one, not every dinosaur has such an interesting backstory and a lot of the time herbivores tended to be harder to find (Because usually when they die they were getting torn apart by something bigger, the bones would then get scattered)

@Fangirlsarah1996: yeah and know one picked a male predator as man of the year as he did unmentionable things to women

@DeadCowboy: *Puts on nerd glasses* Ah Dimetrodon isn't actually a dinosaur, it was actually a mammal like reptile 🤓

@Fangirlsarah1996:
hese animals constitute an evolutionary gradation from primitive synapsid to early therapsid. The clade Sphenacodontia is used to designate the monophyletic group that includes sphenacodontids and all their descendants (including mammals), while Sphenacodontidae in the strict sense includes only specialised pelycosaurs, and not earlier more primitive members of the family like Haptodus, Palaeohatteria, Pantelosaurus, and Cutleria (in pre-cladistic classifications all included under the genus Haptodus). The clade Sphenacodontoidea is used by Laurin and Reisz 1997 to designate the most recent common ancestor of Sphenacodontidae and Therapsida and all their descendants, and is defined by certain features of the skull.

So proto mammals.

@DeadCowboy: They had scales and needed to bask in the sun to generate body heat...so on the outside they were more reptilian...but they paved the way for true mammals...like us.

Though it wasn't a dinosaur it was a VERY important creature indeed.

I would maybe pick the Brontosaurus
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@Tom1234p: Not really underrated...more controversial.

There were two palaeontologists competing for fame and fortune...in doing so they weren't as careful during excavations so they tended to use dynamite.

One found Apatosaurus...the other found a damaged collection of bones of an adult Apatosaurus, though he wrongly identified it as another dinosaur...it was only recently that scientists actually legitimised the Brontosaurus genus as being real after other specimens were discovered.

Giganotosaurus.

He was bigger than Trex.

Took on bigger prey than Trex.

But I bet you've never heard of him before ;)
