Line of Dinosaur Appearances According to Paleontologist Experts in the Past, Looks Strange and Ridiculous

Dream - The science of paleontology has experienced rapid development to the point where it is able to accurately reconstruct fragments of dinosaur bones.

Lineup of Dinosaur Appearances According to Ancient Paleontologists, Seem Strange and Ridiculous

Archaeologists use carbon dating technology and also 3D computer engineering to obtain images of the physical shape of dinosaurs. However, in imagining the appearance of dinosaurs, early paleontologists relied only on a few bone fragments as a guide.

Dinosaur Shape Becomes Strange

As a result, many of the dinosaur appearances designed by early paleontologists look strange and silly. As seen in the following series of dinosaur depictions according to ancient paleontologists.

Painted in 1830, the dinosaur life work of Duria Antiquor entitled A More Ancient Dorset is believed to be the first paleoart work. The painting depicting the life of dinosaurs was made based on fossil records found during that period.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: Experts in ancient paleontology describe Velociraptor as bird-like. Its skin is covered with thick feathers and it has winged hands.

While Velociraptors of the present are depicted as green, gray, or brown. Velociraptors have scales like in movies and other media.

A better understanding of dinosaur fossils has significantly improved paleoart. The illustration of T-Rex (left) and Edmontosaurus (right) in this 1976 image below is very familiar in terms of proportions.

However, because the fossil does not have soft tissue, it is the artist who determines the details of its muscle appearance.

Aquatic dinosaurs like Ichthyosaurus (left) and Plesiosaurus (right) are often depicted as archenemies.

Ichthyosaurus, made to resemble a crocodile, fought to dominate the ocean, as depicted in this illustration from 1863. Meanwhile, modern paleoart depicts Ichthyosaurus as resembling a dolphin rather than a crocodile.

"Due to the limited fossil records, paleo artists often make mistakes. In this illustration, the head of Elasmosaurus (bottom left) is placed at its tail."

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Image of Adolphe François' work in 1857 depicts a number of dragon-like dinosaurs fighting in the sea. In early paleoart, land dinosaurs were sometimes depicted as aquatic creatures."

The first dinosaurs ever discovered were Megalosaurus and Iguanodon, as depicted in this 1863 illustration. Early scientists believed these animals were giant lizards, and they resembled more of a scaly rhinoceros than the dinosaurs we understand today.

Kaki Megalosaurus

Early paleontologists believed that Megalosaurus walked on four legs with a body length of 12 meters (right). Now, experts believe that they were actually bipedal and only 6 meters long (left).

To understand the appearance of dinosaur forms, early paleontologists compared them to their living descendants today, namely crocodiles and birds.
