 I love old dinosaur art. The kind that depicts them with their tales dragging. Growing up, this was what dinosaurs were. All the books, pictures, movies, even documentaries depicted them this way. These were dinosaurs for me. But in the 80's new research altered the way paleontologists portrayed dinosaurs and in the 90's with Jurassic Park  the way dinosaurs were depicted changed forever. I always hated the way the new dinosaurs look. The horizontal Tyrannosaurus looks stupid. The upright one looks so much more elegant, menacing, and powerful. I won't debate the science since I'm not a scientist, but this is just a short post to show appreciation for the old-style dinosaurs. Triceratops. Brontosaurus. Ceratosaurus.  Anchisaurus. Tylosaurs.
