***...species like Brontosaurus. They ate plants and stood on four legs, with a posture like modern elephants.***
But, but 65 years ago we were taught not to question that brontosaurs were so heavy they could not walk on land but needed the swamps to buoy up their weight. All illustrations from that time showed them in water.
And Tyranasaurs walked upright like a man with their tails dragging the ground.
Wonder what they will decide what the dinos did in another sixty years. Maybe danced a do-see-do?
Lol! I still remember the post cards that my mom bought me on one of our several trips to the American Museum of Natural History here in New York City during the '60s. Learned about 10 years ago the cards actually depicted a portion of a much larger 'famous' painting. I recall one with a Brontosaurus, and another with an Allosaurus, or T-Rex?
It was around the same time as the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, NY. There they had a dinosaur exhibit sponsered by the Sinclair oil or gas company. Don't know if they're still in business.
They put their right foot in, they took their right foot out...
