I worked with Jack at the Museum of the Rockies from 1993 to 2003. One of the things he said early on that took the scientific community by surprise was "I want to know how dinosaurs lived, not how they died." Working as an exhibit preparator, I saw some cool things come in from the field each year.

I mean if more teachers were like this and enjoyed teaching while also making learning fun and more interesting then young kids would more easily pay attention in class and then the big pharmaceutical companies would begin to sell way less adhd medications etc and behavior issues would be reduced and this could all lead to possibly being able to teach large segments of these children to think critically and they’d grow up to be well informed and would then try to hold their government responsible for the endless bullshit they perpetrate on the population etc. what are you some kind of revolutionary???

@TVJUNK85 7 лет назад

5 years later, Jack Horner was correct on a few species, but incorrect on others: Dracorex and Stigymoloch are indeed younger stages of Pachycephalosaurus. Nanotyrannus is also a juvenile T.rex. However, a subadult Torosaurus specimen was later found; therefore enforcing that Torosaurus and Triceratops were distinct genuses. Furthermore, while he was correct that Edmontosaurus and Anatotitan were in fact the same *genus* , they were not the same *species* . Anatotitan is now classified as Edmontosaurus annectens while the original Edmontosaurus regalis (also now known to own a small crest on the back of its head) remains a separate and distinct species.

@vampyricon7026 6 лет назад

Was the specimen Horner presented of _Edmontosaurus_ an _Edmontosaurus regalis_ ? Your objection could be invalid if he presented an _Edmontosaurus annectens_

@cactusrubber2856 6 лет назад

Can you give me sources for the sub adult torosaur please

@vampyricon7026 6 лет назад

Jill Carbajal It's on Wikipedia. You can look at the sources there.

@kennethferland5579 6 лет назад

Nanotyrannus was controversial from the day it was named, everyone was saying 'it's probably a juvenile' because is largely has the same morphology as T-Rex, no avian like skull morphing needed. With even obvious examples like that slipping through shows the tendency to give new names. And lets not forget WHO named Nanotyrannus, Horners long time rival Bakker, so their is some comeuppance in this video as well.

@IbizanHound2 6 лет назад

Thank you for this followup! I could see the visual relation between Dracorex, Stigymoloch & Pachycephalosaurus, but I am now at min 15:00 of his presentation and have actually paused the video to go through the comments hoping to find exactly what you re saying. When he suggested that the Torosaur is the adult version of a Triceratop when in fact Torosaur is missing completely a nose horn has a completely distinct shape of skull & his fringe has visible segmentations, it seemed like an overstatement. His sarcastic style of presentation & his mention of "Scientists Egos", sure backfired, big time.

*Evolution? Sorry , but an Impossibility with everything in the Universe having a Rate of Decay and we know that Micro-Evolution in a Species (the only change that's ever been proven as fact) always results in a LOSS of Genetic Data, that can never be reacquired. Even Pentecostals have a more believable Religion than evo-tards. At least they're holding Real Snakes as opposed to evo-tards producing evo evidence that always gets debunked by real Scientists or proven a deliberate fraud by the Courts. The Frauds are so numerous, Evo-Tards have to rewrite their own books every 6months. Every Evo-Tard Vid = more and more proof of Human Devolution.* *Lol even Charles Darwin dumped evolution long before his death.*
