Description pictured here is the new daspletosaurus species (whatever dumb name they gave it) in all it's glory.
features of this reconstruction, a tightly wrapped plate of cracked keratinous skin as confirmed by the study, crocodilian scales as the obvious integument for such a horrifying aquatic beast, a serrated tongue for sawing through the flesh of prey and a small patch of feathers, who the hell cares where it goes as long as it's there

He says in the comments sectional n of a super obvious dig at the carr et all paper

Why didn't you comment there? Why comment under an obvious parody of a dumb claims of a few scientists and dovahkiin

Also, that was a wildly speculative rendering of alanqa, based on your suggestion that it might have been something other than bumps or pseudo teeth.

I suggest reading descriptions.

I don't doubt they ate water stuff, they might have done pretty common even, weren't there a ton of rivers in hell creek

This entire paper was a fail. Why yes, the skull of a fully terrestrial land predator with great eyesight has similarities with the skull of an amphibious archosaur from an entirely different lineage. SURELY THE TWO HAD THE EXACT SAME HEAD FUNCTIONALITY AND LOOK!!!

Obviously, this means they were semi aquatic predators converging on crocodiles

ThatCoelurosaur In reply to TrilobiteCannibal [2017-04-03 10:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Obviously. Let us set aside everything we know about tyrannosauridstyrannosaurid because of one, very poorly observed fossil.

Yes.
Did you hear about the study about the pelvic and shoulder anatomy of Brontosaurus? Apparently, it could not support it's weight on land, so it was aquatic!Β

Yes! They were apparently sister taxa (plesiosaurs and sauropodomorphs). Explains the long necks.
