sailorgojirarex1997: Dinovember Day 29. Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus in the modern era. Inexplicably winding up inside a museum in the 21st century, the duckbill wanders the halls in silent bewilderment. Eventually he comes upon a very bizarre, yet vaguely familiar looking skeleton. Unknown to him, it’s a highly inaccurate mount of another Tsintaosaurus. It’s very interesting to see how our ideas about how dinosaurs looked have changed over the years. The case of Tsintaosaurus especially is extremely fascinating and perplexing. For years, we always assumed Tsintaosaurus had long forward facing crest on it’s head, making it look like a dinosaurian unicorn. Now with more complete specimens having been unearthed, we realize that idea was wrong and we now know it had a backward comb-shaped crest. It just goes to show how perceptions can change in light of new evidence. But, unicorn-crested or not, Tsintaosaurus is still a cool dinosaur and one of my favorites. -- source link
