Modern "paleontologists" are confused zillennial morons.
It's obvious that "Proceratosauridae", with the possible exception of Guanlong, are paraphyletic and represent an evolutionary grade towards eutyrannosauria, with Yutyrannus and Sinotyrannus representing a more derived clade, the so called "diplodocinae" are just an evolutionary grade towards apatosaurine diplodocids with barosaur type genera being the most basal (Kaatedocus, Tornieria+Leinkupal, Barosaurus in phylogenetic order) and Supersaurus (including "Dinheirosaurus") and Amphicoelias altus being the closest to Apatosarinae (and by phylogenetic definition included in it), and "Nanotyrannus" is a hybrid between T. rex and a yet undiscovered late Maastrichtian albertosaurin.

I'm not going to call you a fricking moron, but you are easily the stupidest person I regularly see on Wauf.
ornithodiran archosaurs include dinosaurs but also include stem dinosaurs such as silesaurs, pterosaurs, and stem pterosaurs. Dimetrodon is not an ornithodiran, nor an archosaur, nor a diapsid.

Happy? Go ahead and report me like you wanna do I'm not gonna be on Wauf again til after Christmas anyway lol
It's legitimately happened to me. But hilariously enough it was because I was mocking morons who continuously spew it when they don't have an argument.
You sound like the kind of guy who thinks megalodon was over 12 meters with a Marvel comics metabolism and not just a large macropredatory shark with an oversized mouth for biting off chunk of whales as basic biology and rudimentary rationality dictates.
Is this kind of build even possible? This creature looks very disproportionate for an animal this large, just doesn't feel right but maybe I'm a brainlet
It's worth noting the depiction in the OP is one that extrapolates a lot of soft tissue that may or may not have been there, which is the en vogue way to illustrate pterosaurs as of the last few years. Take some of that away and you get something that looks roughly proportionally approximate to a scaled-up crane with a longer beak.
Why have there never been any birds evolving membrane wings when they're more efficient at flying? >But feathers are more durable!
The membrane wings of bats are far more durable than they appear. >B-but
A bird breaks a feather and bleeds to death.
they did, they couldnt get the right combo going
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scansoriopterygidae
you have to remember all birds are derived from one species in the jurassic, its fluke they managed to exist since feathers are really weird
Huge downside to membrane wings is that you severely increase your surface to volume ratio so you lose a lot of heat. Not an issue in warmer climate but feathered wings are what allowed birds to dominate colder climates while bats have to resort to hibernation
Feathered wings are more efficient actually due to how individual feathers can be used to adjust the flight surface. During upstrokes for example the feathers part allowing air to pass trough the wing more easily thus making it less straining for the bird to lift it's wings up, and in the following downstroke the feathers fold together creating a "solid" flight surface again.
The words archosaur and ornithodiran have no meaning. All animals are descended from original created baramins. Read the bible to be saved by CHRIST and heed GODS word.
Sorry, but my religion explicitly states that every christian is evil and worships demons rather than the real G*d. I actually have a spiritual duty to kill you if we ever cross paths, but YHWH allows me to let you live if I work to kill off your entire ethnicity instead.
Coincidentally my people are more intelligent and basically immune to all misfortune. The world could try to destroy us, and the world would be destroyed instead. Those who slander us are smitten by the powers above. Must be because our G*d is actually real, unlike joshua of nazareth who was just some raving schizo with parents lying to avoid being stoned for popping out bastards.

dinosaurs by overall appearance
>this coming in defense of "proceratosaurids" and "diplodocinae"
Oof!
Just say "dinosaur", you pretentious troon.
Dimetrodon.
ornithodiran archosaurs include dinosaurs but also include stem dinosaurs such as silesaurs, pterosaurs, and stem pterosaurs. Dimetrodon is not an ornithodiran, nor an archosaur, nor a diapsid.

Thank's for playing!

I like the one with the teeth that couldn't get laid in walking with dinosaurs.
Has Jack horner fixed the chicken yet?
lmao they find a couple of bones and then make the claim the animal was the size of a giraffe
>no bro, it really did just have a single giant vertebrae and toe bone. The actual animal is like the size of a deer.

Carcharodontosaurus
The teeth and the skull shape are just neat!

Would you frick a pterodactyl
what do you think ?
Go back tourist
Please don't post that bird-winged dolphin-snouted FREAK on this board
>wikipedia redirecting to Pterosaur instead of to Pterodactyloidea
Complete midwit takeover, and yes.

devil controlling the earth be like:
Paleogay thread, disregard all feathered dinosaurs.
Birds included?
Well, they are doe
Feathered 'saurs are incredibly high t. Scaly/skinny ones are redditslop
But reddit are the ones that love feathered dinosarus because they fricking love science
dimetrodon for me
Dat homie be a remote mammal ancestor (synapsid), bro. He's cool, but not an ornithodiran.
I would generally say the dinosaurs.
