    Paleontology in the 1800s: “We found 3 bones, must be a 40-foot murder duck with knives for hands”

    Perhaps museums could still get some mileage out of their outdated models and exhibits by creating “the hall of errata” so people can walk through the history of natural history.

    Kind of reminds me of my A&amp;P teacher in college. He told a story of how he had a class where he was given a box of dog bones, and had to reassemble them without knowing what kind of dog it was. He said, he got a little confused, and it ended up with an extra long back, and short tail. He said it was a humbling experience.

    If I were a paleontologist, I would steer clear of anything mentioning a Spinosaurus. Too controversial

    My younger brother has been obsessed with dinosaurs since he was three. He’s seventeen now, preparing to go to school for paleontology, and your videos have allowed us to bond over extinct animals. Love you and this channel!

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-7ZdKyXss&amp;t=408">6:48</a> - I think it would e good to preserve the wrong guesses of the past in museums (and label them as such). It grounds the entire field a bit, taking it from myth to real life. Not to mention it points out how it&apos;s normal to make discoveries that change an established part of the sciences. After all, all science is virtually a rigidly organized cooperative guesswork, a puzzle game without all the parts.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-7ZdKyXss&amp;t=143">2:23</a> I LOVE those old pictures of what dinosaurs were thought to look like. It takes me back to my childhood and gives such a nostalgic feel to watching my old dinosaur documentaries on VHS

    It&apos;s allways wild seeing the bone caps for the claws and imagining how big the actually keratin claws were.
