Weird dinosaur question
Please chime in, even if only to tell me you can't help me none.
I'm trying to come up with a list of about 12-20 of the most unique dinosaurs known. I have a reason for this, but, well, it's secret for the moment. (At least in an open forum like this.)
I want to stay away from most of the "usual suspects" like Tyrannosaurus rex or Triceratops. That doesn't mean they're not under consideration, but I want some representatives that are a bit more unusual or lesser-known. (For instance, instead of T Rex, I'm leaning toward Giganotosaurus or Carcharadontosaurus, both of which were similar but larger.)
I'm already 100% sold on the following:
Archaeopteryx
Baryonyx
Oviraptor
Therizinosaurus
Any more suggestions?

Re: Weird dinosaur question
Well, can't really help you much. But there is a pretty crazy one that could swim. Not sure what the name or species is though. Here is a fossil of it at a museum:
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

Watch some old episodes of Friends, Ross rants off a few in them.

Good thinkin' kh.

Re: Weird dinosaur question
Dude, don't make me watch Friends. I'd rather eat my own sick.
UK, that one looks like a plesiosaur of some type (probably Plesiosaurus himself). It's technically not a dinosaur, though I'd allow it if not for a pretty good reason to not include any fully-aquatic dinos.
I also only want one flyer, who will be the Archaeopteryx.

Well sorry for trying to help out!

Re: Weird dinosaur question
No, I appreciate it, and if there were a way to include underwater dinos, that one would be a shoo-in.

Re: Weird dinosaur question
So when are we going to get to find out what this is all about?

Didn't you know? 'Nark is starting his own "Obscure Dinosaur Jurassic Park", because it's cheaper to clone Archaeopteryxes than it is to clone Tyrannosaurs.UKWildcat wrote:So when are we going to get to find out what this is all about?
Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.

Damn, I forgot to tell you I had a problem with keeping secrets.

Re: Weird dinosaur question
That might be a plesieosaur. (or whatever that one theory that the Loch Ness Monster is)UKWildcat wrote:Well, can't really help you much. But there is a pretty crazy one that could swim. Not sure what the name or species is though. Here is a fossil of it at a museum:
Screw Friends. Go watch some old episodes of Dinosaucers. There were some more obscure dinosaurs on that show. The Wikipedia entry has links to all the different types:

And here are a couple other links:

Re: Weird dinosaur question
Anarky, are you a National Geographic subscriber? Because if so, the December 2007 issue is perfect for your question.
About a half an hour ago, I read this topic and then I went to go watch some t.v.
I ate some mustard & croutons and then I started watching Under The Tuscan Sun.
Desperately trying to masturbate to the Diane Lane's character, I happened to notice the December 2007 issue sitting on my coffee table. And on the front cover, it read, "BIG BAD BIZARRE DINOSAURS."
But here's a link to National Geographic online. They have some stuff and some photos on there of crazy ass dinos.
