I originally posted the following in my DA journal ( http://jd-man.deviantart.com/journal/SD-Good-semi-good-and-bad-dino-sources-351589315 ). I encourage you to make your own list of good, semi-good, & bad dino sources. It doesn't have to be the same format or include the same sources.

I LOVE the "Walking With Dinosaurs" series. I own every DVD except for "Walking With Beasts" (which includes animals that lived after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event). I know that liopleurodon was insanely over-sized, but it is still a lovable dinosaur source. |

This is a bad source and obsolete. States still skull Giganotosaurus 1 .95 meters, C. saharicus was smaller than C. iguidensis, and says that Giganotosaurus was shorter than "Sue" and lighter than an average Tyrannosaurus, while states that Carcharodontosaurus was larger than Giganotosaurus. It is not true, maybe it was longer, but not bigger. http://deadtimes.wikia.com/wiki/Prehistoric_Wiki |

The Carcharodontosaurus neotype (SGM-Din 1) is larger than Giganotosaurus. MUCPv-95 is estimated at 13 to 13.2 m long; SGM-Din-1 is estimated at ~13.5 m. |

Dipense really Theropod from which you use as a base, if you use Giganotosaurus, would end up smaller than Giganotosaurus. No one can say who was bigger, since they are both incomplete skeletons. As far as I'm concerned, they're both about the same size. Edited by Teratophoneus, May 29 2013, 03:29 AM.

Grypo realized that. Read his last sentence (although I think the assumption of Giganotosaurus being significantly bulkier is still a bit too baseless). |

Yeah, but longer does not mean bigger. MUPCv-95 was 13.5 meters or so, SMG din-1 was 13.7 meters. There is not much difference. Edited by Teratophoneus, May 29 2013, 03:35 AM.

Documentaries are always a bad source, documentaries exist to make science interesting and to develop interest, not strictly as a teaching tool. A documentary takes years to make, and in a constantly changing field like paleontology it will be outdated before it ever airs. For example in Walking With Monsters Mesothelae was depicted as a spider because when production began that was the conservative reasoning, rather than remove it from the production BBC chose to keep it in when it was proven to be a sea scorpion part way into production. Whether this was due to money or time restraints or the far less respectable "we can't have giant bugs without a spider" I don't know. Planet Dinosaur is actually a very bad source given it made a great many factual errors, especially a lot of feather related ones. Whether they did this out of research negligence, animation cost, or fear that proper feathering would deter JP fanboys, I don't know. |

Put your text between [ color=#80a0ff ] and[ /color], but without the spaces I added for not making the "and" blue. You can find that code when clicking on "Color" beyond your post and selecting "Light Blue". |

Mesothelae are spiders, primitive and superficially similar to mygalomorphs they are certainly not eurypterid. One family, the Liphistids are still roaming the earth today, living very similar lives to trapdoor spiders. I believe you are mistaking mesothelae for megarachne, first described as a giant mygalomorph in 1980 and documented as the largest spider that ever lived in the record books until 2005 when a more complete specimen proved the species to be an eurypterid. Walking with Monsters went ahead with the megarachne model, as production was too far along, but changed the species to an unidentified species of giant mesothelae, however no species of mesothelae is known to have reach such a massive size.

Good: Official papers or interviews (and generally sources coming straight from paleontologists), museums, Wikipedia (it doesn't miss important stuff and it is up to date), Prehistoric Wildlife, the Forum might also count Semi-Good: Wikidino (it might miss important stuff and should probably be questioned), books, Bizarre Dinosaurs (I think it is one of the most accurate documentaries) Bad: Walking with... (I really don't think it should be trusted a lot) |
