    Paleoartist and scientific illustrator Gabriel Ugueto has a golden rule for his work: Accuracy. In order to resurrect the dinosaurs, Ugueto begins with a single bone and works his way from inside out. He researches whether there are any related animals alive today, or existing fossils that may shed light on how the bone fragment fits into a larger piece, and reconstructs the entire skeletal system. He then sketches in muscle groups, and adds skin and color considering where the animal lived and during what period of time.
    But his resulting illustrations often don’t match the Jurassic Park-inspired dinosaurs that we’re used to.

    The book _All Yesterdays_ really opened my eyes to this kind of thinking. Really interesting book. It also includes some pictures of animals living today but reconstructed from their skeletons in the way we normally do with dinosaurs. They are utterly unrecognizable.

      i agree even though reptiles and archosaurs in flesh look very similar to their skeletons they still look different take a chicken for example...it's main bodyshape is just like it's skeleton (with muscles of course) but it has feathers it has scales on it's feet they have combs and wattlesroosters have long tails for display

Paleoecology has advanced so much since the 90's, and even then the Cretaceous feathered dinosaurs have not yet been discovered.

    This goes similar to recuntructing dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, trying to depict what they looked like when theyre alive
    And i kinda blame Hollywood for that, they made us think that sharks are evil monsters that only wants bloodshed, they made us think that dinosaurs are giant angry beast that roars all the time and stomp around

      The reason being, He gives Feathers to Sauropods. We have more than enough Scale fossils to say that Sauropods didn't had feathers. Owing to their massive size. Brian also gives really weird colors to Creatures sometimes even blues and Reds to large creatures. He States that animals alive today are color blind so that's why they don't have that complex color patterns like birds. But doesn't takes into account that The if predator and prey both have shiny blue , white feathers and Red Heads then spotting each other would be so easy. Predators should have Camouflaging colors just like how Gabriel or Mark Witton draws them .

    I admire and appreciate dinosaur experts who sees these animals as 'realistic animals' and not Jurassic Park monsters. I just *sigh* when I see a depiction or paleoart of a T.rex fighting with another T.rex, even if there's evidence that can support that. The point is people just want to see creatures fight and rampage. These extinct species like modern animals also rested in the sun, played with their prey, had weird dance rituals and so on. There's nothing more real than that.

    I LOVED everything in this video except for your carnotaurus… there are ZERO evidences that carnotaurus had that famous (maybe infamous….) spikes/ croc-like osteodermic edges on its back, and the same for tubercular scales or other reptilian-like epidermic and dermic structures.
    We have ZERO paleontological proofs about this kind of structures also in all the other abelisaurids and theropoda itself.
    So, according with the "feathered theory", it's sensibly more likely that carnotaurus was covered by primitive fuzz-like filamentous feathers.
    The only reason why a lot of people think that carnotaurus was scaly and had spikes on the back is that, when it was discovered, someone, in the very first reconstructions, put scales on its skin and spikes on its back… without any proof of it and only because it was congruous with the "scaly imagine" of dinosaurs of that times… that reconstructions spread like a virus all around the world and... the rest is history.
    I very like your works, so PLEASE, don't be like that people :)

    • @AdamOlymius
      @AdamOlymius 6 лет назад +12

      We have proof for osteoderms in Carnotaurus if i remember correctly. Osteoderms are very common in Archosaurs, Pseudosuchia has them, we know some Sauropods had them, Thyreophorans famously have all these crazy osteoderm structures, and we know that Carnotaurus was most likely scaly from the very first specimen that was discovered, which was very well preserved and had skin impressions which showed scales, which sadly were destroyed as the fossil was collected. I believe we later did find evidence for osteoderms in an Abelisaurid (i can't remember if it was Carnotaurus itself, but it might have been). So the most likely integument for Carnotaurus is small scales with some osteoderms.

    • @darklight6013
      @darklight6013 6 лет назад +3

      We heve zero fossilized osteoderms about theropods, bring me a single scientific article about them and we can start seriously talking about.
      we have only proof of osteoderms in ornithischians and sauropods, but only in some families which evolved them indipendently for protecting themself from predator, like some mammals did too.
      Osteoderms in dinosaurs or, more inclusive, in ornithodira are an apomorphy, or rather a character NOT inherited from the common ancestors, otherwise a lot of dinosaurs could have osteoderms, like it happens with a lot of other archosaurs but… our proofs say differently and more specific say us that osteoderm are more a quite rare exeption than a rule in dinosaurs.
      Going back to carnotaurus, the only source of information about its skin are the famous photos of Bonaparte et Al. which show us impressions of SOME FRAGMENTS OF SKIN OF THE MID-VENTRAL PART OF THE BODY (I use uppercase not because i'm angry or something XD but only to put enphasis points) so… only fragments of the lower part of the animal, NOT ITS BACK, no proof of osteodrems on the back… nothing about them… and more important… what these impressions show us??? they show only (and i use the same word of the paleontologists that made the photos) "conical protuberances, rather low, with a diameter of about 4-5 cm, each with a modest hull, and separated from each other by about 8-10 cm . The surface between the protuberances is coarse, with small granules with a diameter of about 5 mm, rather rounded and low, separated one from the other by narrow furrows ."
      So, The skin is described as irregularly coarse, with low protuberances surrounded by a pattern of small granules. The authors never call these structures "scales". If the authors do not call them "scales", we are not authorized by us, nor others who have not even seen the fossil.
      On more you can find this kind of tubercular pattern also in the naked skin of an ostrich's upper part of its legs, that is part of the lower surface of the animal, specifically a theropod just like carnotaurus.
      I leave you a very interesting article, about carnotaurus and its inaccurate reconstruction, of a very brilliant paleontologist :theropoda.blogspot.com/2016/03/miti-e-leggende-post-moderne-sui.html
      It's in Italian but you can translate it in the page ;-)

      I would like to add that while osteoderms are indeed result of convergent evolution, rather than coming from a common ancestor, they usually first appear mainly as display structures, rather than protection like in derived Thyreophorans. Meaning there would be nothing stopping a derived theropod from having osteoderms covered in keratin (similar to how the horns probably would have been) just to look sexy to other Carnotaurus.

Just what I said before, I took indeed that part from the same article you posted above.
      Bonaparte didn't talk about osteoderms, spikes or even scales and, if he, who examined that skin's impressions and made the article doesn't talk about these kind of structures, I don't understand why we must do it.
