I think eddie lies about Dustin’s age to get kid discounts when they go places.

For example, eddie takes dustin to a museum to see dinosaurs like any good father would. Lies for discounted tickets

#rip eddie munson you would’ve loved student discounts on every fucking streaming service #Dustin is actually reading everything he can about the dinosaurs #and eddie is me at age five looking at sets of bones for five seconds saying COOL and running off to elsewhere #eddie munson #dustin henderson #god damn posting this made me want to go to a museum #I genuinely fucking love them I love reading about random shit #I’m learning trivia #lord if I had the braincells or time to read some academic dino papers rn #I so would #spinosaurus paper from 2021(? I think) fucks

I had the chance to do a research project thru my university last summer!

I decided to focus on the how our ideas of classic prehistoric animals have changed since they were first discovered

Featuring Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Temnodontosaurus (ichthyosaur), and the Wolly Mammoth

Heron Necks are Kinky

Monday 12/12/22

Herons, Egrets, and Bitterns are a group of birds under the Family Ardeidae (meaning "Heron"). They are all wading birds with long s-curved necks (shaped like the letter S) and spear shaped beaks they use to strike out at prey while watching the water's surface. The "S-curve" is a classic trait in therapods, originating way back in the bird family tree, to even the earliest families of dinosaurs and beyond. Ornithodira is the name given by palaeontologists to include all dinosaurs and pterosaurs, and it means "bird-neck". The S-curve neck allows greater control of movement and flexibility. But mastery of the S-curve had never been taken quite extremes before the Heron.

Spinosaurus, thought to live like modern herons, has a prominent s-curved neck - Scott Hartman

Herons have a very special adaptation to their neck vertebrae that allow them to launch their head forward at faster speeds than other birds, and that is the kink. The 6th/7th vertebrate forms a pivot where vertebrate bends at a 90 degree angle to the previous vertebrate.

Source: Mike Taylor/MorphoSource

As demonstrated in this skeletal diagram, the windpipe does not bend at the same harsh angle as the cervical vertebrae. In many other long necked birds, the trachea tends to be longer than the neck and just coil in the chest cavity, but in herons trachea is in fact shorter than the neck, and just bends around it (Taylor, 2021).

But back to the neck-kink. The bend in the Heron neck allows special muscle attachment to allow the neck to act like a spring. As the bird yanks its neck forwards, elastic potential energy is released and the beak is thrust forward at high speed.

Scientists have likened this mechanical set up as analogous to various "spear throwers" of older cultures. The Atlatl of Central America, or the Woomera of Australia, are tools that give the thrower a greater fulcrum of power to launch spears at greater speeds and power.

Such a technique arising within human technology makes sense, but for it to arise naturally, just seems bizarre to me. I'm not claiming there are divine means that led to this structure at all, but I don't see enough people talking about how fucked up it is that Herons and their relatives have a 90 degree kink in the neck vertebrate.

One more fun fact to end the post with. Some species of heron have developed fishing techniques where they will plop down a small morsel of food onto the surface of the water and if a fish comes up to grab it, the heron will strike and grab its' gullible victim.

So yeah I don't know how to end this post. Herons are cool right?

whats the current deal with the spinosaurus right now? cause i remember the spino is very complex

This blog isn't meant for answering general queries about dinosaurs; I mainly respond to asks directly related to what I've written on the blog and how I run it. To briefly address your question, however: there is an ongoing debate among dinosaur paleontologists about how aquatic Spinosaurus was and what types of aquatic behaviors it might have been adapted for. Some of the main studies that have been published on this topic in recent years include Ibrahim et al. (2020), Hone and Holtz (2021), Fabbri et al. (2022), and Sereno et al. (2022).

🦖 Favorite dinosaur 🐾 Favorite cryptid 🌳 Favorite tree 🍟 Favorite potato form 📚 Favorite book

🦖 I wasn't sure how to answer this at first because all dinosaurs are awesome. But then, I remembered how awed I was with Spinosaurus when it was brought to my attention via Jurassic Park III. Then, the new papers came out in 2020-2021 about whether or not Spinosaurus is a semiaquatic creature like the crocodilians. Spinosaurus is fascinating.

🐾 If I had to choose, it would be the Fresno nightcrawler. These things are spooky and yet cute somehow.

🌳 This was a tough one because several kinds of trees have caught my attention throughout my life. But I'm choosing kamias because I have fond childhood memories with it. Averrhoa bilimbi or kamias has very sour fruits that grow along its trunk. It's impossible to keep a straight face when you eat it fresh.

🍟 I also had to think about this because I like potato dishes a lot. But one dish that stands out to me is the Spanish omelet, also known as the Spanish tortilla or tortilla de patatas:

📚 This was a tough one. Ultimately, my favorite is Reader's Digest's Almanac of the Uncanny. I read it in high school, but I found a pre-loved copy, which I bought from an online store.

That card-throwing sonuvabitch Weevil would be so excited about those new fuzzy beetles, today is his day

Edit: apparently they discovered them back in 2021 so with that and the Spinosaurus discovery, 2021 was a fun year for Weevil and Rex

[graveyard-ghoulish]

Btw what do you think of the 2021 spinosaurus update? The new look of the tail?

I love it’s look tbh. Its come a long way from looking like a scuffed Rex with a sail to its own unique creature. They look like a fucked up swan and I want to pet it. I hope one day they’ll be able to come to an agreement as to whether or not it’s actually somewhat aquatic though. The amount of papers coming out arguing on that is making my head spin 🫠

———  three  facts! ♡

My favourite dinosaurs are tyrannosaurus, utahraptor, dakotaraptor, velociraptor, spinosaurus and therizinosaurus. If you can’t tell, I really like therapods and especially adore the dromaeosaur (raptor) family. One of my big obsessions is dinosaurs; one of my preferred genres of writing is palaeofiction (very niche, I know), I dream about them (I’ve even dreamt about BEING a dinosaur... multiple times) (and yes, I’ve dreamt a dinosaur Sephiroth and you can find a doodle of him on this blog...).

Speaking of my passions, my main three special interests are dinosaurs, veganism/animal rights, and funnily enough, Sephiroth himself. I’m also a big film connoisseur (my favourite genres are science fiction and horror; I despise comedy and most romance so my knowledge on those types of films is borderline non-existent), and I adore animation. I’ve also had special interests in space, various groups of animals (and animals in general) (apart from non-avian dinosaurs, I’ve had a dog phase which makes me cringe, and an avian dinosaur phase, AKA modern birds, and also one on Phorusrhacids (giant, flightless, extinct carnivorous birds), anime/manga, different pieces of fiction (funnily enough, this includes my least favourite piece of fiction ever conceived, I hated it so much I grew fascinated by it, and began to love it in a ‘you’re so terrible that I’m actively inspired by your terrible-ness’ way), and probably a bunch more I’ve neglected to mention. You don’t choose the special interest... the special interest chooses you.

General tropes you’ll find in my writing includes extreme violence, tragic or bittersweet endings, characters who are ‘different’ in some way (or misunderstood), anti anthropocentrism, trauma, corruption, moral greyness (sometimes of a very dark shade), and most likely, a LOT of death. No, I do not write light stories, and yes, I’ve had people tell me my work has made them cry. Granted, said works are old now and I hate them, so I’m hoping my current project will have similar effect.

———  experience ! ♡

I first started RPing in 2019 with a character named Ghost; it was a wattpad RP about a war between fire and ice dragons. Ghost was a pacifist ice dragon, and she ended up being the focus of my first tumblr RP blog (summer 2020, I adapted her into the FF7 universe... the blog’s pretty much inactive now, but it was a multi-muse with other OCs adapted into the FF7 universe from previous wattpad RPs, like Athena, Andromeda and Blade).

With regards to Sephiroth, I began to RP him a month or two after I made Ghost’s blog (again, summer 2020). I’d never really written a canon character, like ever, but I wanted to give it a go because a) I really like Sephiroth, b) I find him very relatable to a personal degree, and c) because of those two reasons, I felt I might be able to write him decently. It was a sideblog, but in February 2021 I made him my main muse with a blog of his own, since I was much more active with him.

General writing-wise, I think I started writing stories around when I was 7, and I haven’t stopped since.

———  muse preference !  ♡

SEPHIROTH. My other blogs (the OC multimuse, Hojo, and JENOVA) are all inactive now. Sometimes I have moments where I want to write Ghost again (she’s my favourite OC if you can’t tell), and maybe I could make a sideblog for her sometime, but my focus is definitely on Sephiroth.

———  FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡    

FLUFF: You know, usually I’m not big on soft/happy stuff, but sometimes it’s good to write considering most of my stuff is DEATH, BLOOD, and PAIN. Especially since Sephiroth is a character who’s committed acts of extreme violence, and hides a lot of his true vulnerability, I think it can be interesting to explore said vulnerability with nicer, more calm situations. I don’t write much fluff, but I kinda wish I did a bit more.

ANGST: ... Well duh. DUH. Though, it’s more Sephiroth causing angst for other characters, but he’s still very much filled with pain considering what he’s been through. Sometimes this can slip through when he thinks back on his conception, or if he’s interacting with a character like Lucrecia, Hojo, or Vincent. One of my favourite drabbles to write was this one, where he faces permadeath and must come to terms with the fact that he will face his biggest fear of all: oblivion (hence the title). So yes, I like angst.

SMUT: nOPE. I don’t mind writing something suggestive, especially if it’s paired with my familiar old friend violence, but I can’t bring myself to write explicit smut. 

PLOT / MEMES: I can honestly go either way.

Spinosaurus has popped up once again. Yeah, as fragmentary as the critter is right now, lots and lots can still be debated. Or perhaps that’s because it’s fragmentary. I continue to grow weary of the spinosaurus discussion just as I have with anything regarding tyrannosaurus. But since everyone loves these titans of pop culture and science, I feel like I have to at least try to talk about them.
