"[...]favourite category of dino is carnivore, herbivore, pteradons or amphibians"

Just like someone else said, pterosaurs and amphibians are not dinosaurs. Amphibians aren't reptiles at all.

"Oh and wikipeadia is full of some serious horse s**t as anybody can write on it"

That's why it has administrators.

"Oh and Xenotaris no offence but I t seems like you just copy and pasted everything you said"

At least he did some research.

CarnoFTW

Mate my neighbour is a renowned scientist where I live he studied paleontology and paleobiolgy at Oxford university so there  

CarnoFTW

Ok then Xenotaris lets see your personal bibliography 

CarnoFTW

And wikipeadia is not reliable I was looking at the Austeyr F88 doubt many if you will know what that is when I saw that it said that the F88 was a US army ranger/Delta force assault shotgun but the F88 is an assault rifle so yeah

Okay I posted my bibliography in the above post.

CarnoFTW

Did you read my posts above yours about my neighbour 

Xenotaris

Yes, whats your renown paleontologist neighbor's name?

CarnoFTW

I said he is renown where I live as in he is s very well trusted and nice guy but I live in then English countryside he's not really my neighbour as we both live of farms but he is a bout three kilometres down the road his name Allen Dundry he is about 87 yrs old. 

Xenotaris

Well he isn't among the these guys and some of the guys that wrote my books are on that linked webpage. So did Allen Dundry wrote any dinosaurs books I could buy?

CarnoFTW

No I don't think he writes books he is blind and practically deaf is losing his voice do to a virus also he can not walk so yeah it would be pretty hard for him to write a book. But I will speak to his daughter about it and see what she knows

Xenotaris

You said he is renown in your area and for decades he's been saying that pterosaurs are a sub-order of dinosaurs. A suborder of dinosaurs as in suborders like Theropoda (bideal carnivores, bird-like herbivores, and birds), Sauropodmorpha (Long neck herbivores), Orthinopoda (bipedal and quadrupedal beaked herbivores), Thyreophora (armored back dinosaurs with attack tails), and Marginocephalia (Armored head Dinosaurs); but yet he has published no book nor any papers to prove his theory? This doesn't sound like a scientist/paleontologist this sounds like a made up person.

I mean he is conveniently blind, deaf, lost his voice and can't walk.

GG

^I'm going to break down laughing please stop.

CarnoFTW

Alright then whatever you believe but you know Steven Hawkins well Allen is like him he is completely disabled so yeah what you believe and what I know are two very different things 

I Meme Everything

Xenotaris, that bibliography...

You're a more hardcore dinosaur fan than even me

CarnoFTW

Oh and Xenotaris he has motor neurone disease 

Xenotaris

But Steven Hawking published books for us to know he exists and he is renown across the globe, I just need some more concrete proof, you understand. If your neighbor is real as you say he is, then he must of published something in all of his years as a scientist.

Xenotaris

Okay if he is real he must be a rather obscured Paleontologist then but the overall fact of the matter: Pterosaurs are still not dinosaur, this is agreed by almost 100% of the scientific community.

CarnoFTW

Yeah ok but he is very independent he does not like people who do not disagree with his opinions he is the one who got me interested in dinosaurs when I was younger that's why I thought pteradons were dinosaurs but he is a little crazy I think he has some papers and also Steven hawking has a lot of money and he can see and hear can't he 

Xenotaris

but Steven Hawking used to walk when he was first doing his research and albeit publications before he was confined to a wheel chair and need a computer to talk.

CarnoFTW

Yeah so did Allen he use to teach me about dinosaurs and tell me stories that he made up about them then I moved to London got a job went back a few years later inherited my parents farm and was told that he had motor neurone disease and as of his age he had gone blind and basically deaf

Xenotaris

so why didn't he ever publish any of his research before going blind, deaf, mute, and cripple?

CarnoFTW

Well for starters he is not completely deaf he has a hearing aid but they don't give you crisp hearing also the reason he can't talk is the fact that he cannot afford the thingy that Steven hawking has and also I don't know if he does have books like a said before I moved to London before I inherited my parents farm so that was a gap of like 8 or 9 years

Xenotaris

You could ask his daughter, she should know

GG

I cannot find an Allen Dundry, even through intensive search on the internet. Even if this guy does exist, he obviously is either an extremely dated or just faux-paleontologist. Pterosaurs are not a suborder of dinosaurs, nor are they dinosaurs. They are related to the non-avians more so than birds, but they are not dinosaurs.

Also, once again, even if this man is one-hundred percent real and dug up fossils--the opinion of one paleontologist does not truly matter. It's the fact of thousands of paleontologists that dictates if one theory is real or not; there are still many-a-paleontologist that believes Tyrannosaurus rex was scaled--some that even believe that dromaeosaurs were too.

No one paleontologist dictates what is real and what is not--it is the agreement of the scientific community that makes one theory true to as much as our knowledge will allow it to be. Now, this thread has spiraled out of control and is just going nowhere--so you two please give one more comment as a closing argument on this subject, or I will lock it.

Xenotaris

I'm done with what I had to say

My favorite dinosaur group is the Thyreophorans

• †Ankylosauria
• †Stegosauria
