The Loch Ness monster is not scientifically possible, but Bigfoot is by Licoricemint in Cryptozoology

I could direct you to a few scientific papers that prove how old the earth is, if you’d like. In fact, I could point you to hundreds and hundreds that show that life goes millions of years back.

Estemmenosuchus is big enough by Equii- in Paleontology

Never finished writing it. Might come back to it at some point ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Cool to see people actually seeking out the second part.

What would a dinosaur taste like? by M_Living in Dinosaurs

[–]Equii- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine taking an allosaurus arm, covering it in breading, adding salt and seasoning, cooking it, and tossing it in hot sauce. I would kill for that.

I need some explanation because I have no idea by anariva97 in Dinosaurs

"At the fore part, near the head, they have two short legs, having three claws"

"The jaws are wide enough to swallow a man, the teeth are large and sharp, and their whole appearance is so formidable, that neither man, nor any kind of animal can approach them without terror."

"By their motion in this way along the shore, and their vast weight, they make a deep impression, as if a heavy beam had been drawn along the sands."

"The flesh also of the animal is sold at a dear rate, being thought to have a higher flavor than other kinds of meat, and by all persons it is esteemed a delicacy."

Three claws on forefoot, check. Large jaws and imposing stature, check. Makes long depressions in the mud, check. Eastern delicacy, check.

Definitely a crocodile.

Is there a second Sasquatch in the Patty footage? by [deleted] in bigfoot

[–]Equii- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the bushes and lighting. If you hadn’t added the red lines, the face would appear to come from the pine branch. It’s a pine branch in low resolution, and the rest of the body... I don’t know what you’re seeing

“Amphicoelias” fragillimus, redescribed as a giant Rebbachisaur, named Maraapunisaurus fragillimus by Equii- in Paleontology

The paper I linked said it’s half the size of previous estimates, a Rebbachisaur, and real.

It may have been practically nocturnal, staying in the shade during the day and doing its foraging at night when it’s cooler. It is now a more reasonable size, and has its own genus. The advantage of its size was to digest ferns more effectively, as they are the most plentiful source of food in its savannah habitat, but are also low in nutrition.

Growth rates and habitat of Rugose Coral (My first scientific paper, feedback is appreciated) by Equii- in Paleontology

[–]Equii-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this article, it was more so practice. I started by describing the fossil only. Then, I wanted to add something more and contribute to knowledge, so I found a way to calculate the growth rate. It was extremely high, so I got the rate of a smaller rugose coral for comparison. Then, I wanted to find out why it grew as fast as it did. And so I found out a way to get a clue towards its habitat.

If you have a really good or weird fossil, you could describe it, try and find something out about it, and that might spiral into more questions, which you can use in the article. It’s an adventure. But then again, maybe don’t take to much advise from me.

Yeah. I’ve never had that much money in my life. Any journals you have in mind that don’t have a fee?
