Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: Difference between revisions

* Much of the dinosaurs found in Dollar Stores are guilty of this trope. Case in point, at least one Dollar Store has toys for sale that include a Ceratosaurus labelled as an Oviraptor and a Dimetrodon labelled as Spinosaurus.

** And there exists one such "Chinasaur" package that depicts a ''T. rex'' eating a huge lump of grass... maybe it was hay, but in either case, it was not flesh-colored.

** This troper remember founding a toy of big bright green scaly t-rex with...''stereotypic sharp pterosaur wings instead of forelegs.'' Too bad he was too pricey for me...this abomination must be a symbol of this page. Also,multiple times have seen two-headed crested diplodo or horned raptor toys...they were sold as dragons.

* Check out this tiny ''[http://paleofreak.com/plasticosauria/archives/364 "Carnotaurus"]'' from a German toy series, called ''Predators''. The only research the sculptor made most likely stopped at "carnivorous dinosaur with horns". Quite strange, considering the series has models of other, much more obscure and yet better sculpted animals. Though it also has a Sauropod calling itself a ''Lystrosaurus'', a naked raptor, and a Theropod labeled "''Megatherium''".
