Up until very recently, most artists' pictures of dinosaurs sucked. They were inaccurate and make you question what the heck they're supposed to be! This post was inspired by the following [img]http://www.artoflegendindia.com/images/detailed/pcab212_carnotaurus.jpg[/img] [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sq4l9fj_6Ds/T58DrQasjyI/AAAAAAAAAzU/U9sxwPVO_wg/s400/Spino.jpg[/img] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XZBVGqCpeno/UXV8m-u-bGI/AAAAAAAACqM/itsvwBKblko/s1600/Trachodon.jpg[/img] Any you can share?

Yes, [img]http://www.conversationpieces.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/13-5.jpg[/img] These things are horrible. Frightening lizards indeed.

I like the trachodon's hands. Very dainty. This immediately came to mind when I first found the image. [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luqk21m3Gx1qbeprmo1_400.gif[/img]

Do remember children, These were before all the CGI and actual model starting... so anywhere from the 18th century to the 20th century, these were probably drawn
