Jest mĹody pachycefalozaur:
[quote=""Robert Bakker""]The transformation suffered by the pachycephalosaur skull was so great that no living species could come close to the degree of re-structuring. (...) We have a genuine juvenile Pachycephalosaurus, barely
two-thirds the length of an adult. According to Jack's theory, this head should look like a Dracorex, with no dome and long horns. But the juvenile skull has a
shape that's 95% like the adult stage. The horns are small. The temporal holes are gone. And the dome is huge and dome development has distorted the neighboring bones above the eye. This juvie Pachycephalosaurus is just as small as the Dracorex skull [/quote]OsobiĹcie mnie to przekonuje. A co sÄ
dzicie o dymorfizmie pĹciowym? MoĹźe samice miaĹy pĹaskie Ĺby i wiÄksze kolce? Ale, z drugiej strony po co samicom kolce? Ĺťaden z dwĂłch naukowcĂłw nie pisze o tym, wiÄc moĹźe Ĺşle myĹlÄ i dymofizm nie ma nic do rzeczy?
A jak widzÄ takÄ
argumentacjÄ, to szlag mnie trafia
Jack Horner pisze:Comparing T-rex with Velociraptor, virtually all characters are the opposite of one another. T has short arms, V has long arms, T has long femur/short tibia, V has short femur/long tibia, T has large olfactory, V has small olfactory, T has bone-crushing teeth (and gains them during ontogeny), and V has bladed-shaped meat-slicing teeth, T is common in its ecosystem, and V is rare.
A kto byl by "apex predatorem"? (jak to jest po polsku - czoĹowy drapieĹźnik)?
Robert Bakker pisze:Why would Triceratops invest in five times as much bone volume in its frill? Well...to me the answer is obvious. Because the commonest predator has evolved great, armor-penetrating teeth
Nowy argument (przynajmniej dla mnie, i w sumie taki prosty...)
PS bardzo ciekawy blog
