Where are the feathers?

[going hot]

Looks like it was practicing four legged ballet.

Or maybe the forefeet were merely resting on the ground, before going bipedal once more.

Also, a tou tou (sp?) would improve the looks.

That’s not much of sail compared to other dinosaurs.

More like a hump.

[barmag25]

More of a hump. Spiniosaur could be described as having a sail.

I don't know why, but I look at that and I get this in my head:

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

"experts today can only hypothesize about its function.” What experts? Please be specific.
“Scientists announced on Wednesday the discovery.” What scientists?
“The structure also could have served.” “Could” is not a fact.
“Millions of years before the rise of the dinosaurs” Really?” How were the dates arrived at?
“A partial skeleton.” A partial skeleton and we have a full picture with colors of the animal? How does that work?
“Northeastern Spain during Morelladon’s time alternated between wet and dry periods, with strong temperature variations ranging from 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius) to about 104 F (40 C).” So this was hundreds of millions of years ago and the temperatures were positively known? We can't even predict temperatures a month or year away and these were positively affirmed from millions of years ago? Nonsense.

Evening Star, you are scaring me, even more when you ping to the “civilization expert.”

"All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine and belongs to me, and I own it and what it is, too."

I just bought my Wife the Dinosaurs TV Show DVD set.
Didn’t see any Sails on a one.

Not the Mama...

Northeastern Spain during Morelladon's time alternated between wet and dry periods, with strong temperature variations ranging from 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius) to about 104 F (40 C).

There are many places in the US today where this temperature variation is not considered particularly strong or unusual. In fact, just in the year 2015, the area of Southern Oregon where I live has seen temperatures of 20 degrees F last winter, and over 109 degrees this summer. Our climate is not considered extreme.
