    Seriously? Where do you see dinosaur bones? You could easily add some if you want to add some paleontologists to the scene cheeky

    Details

    The archeologist digs up another treasure. Whether it is dinosaur bones, artifacts from the mayan culture or even a hidden tribe in the amazon your character can now join their ranks!

    From the sale page.

    Maybe it should read "archeologist/paleontologists/CSI tech/sewer repairmanperson"

    Well to be fair to the archealogists, they were looking for iron age round houses.. and they kinda stumbled upon the dinousaur bones... ;)

    So they got proof that dinosaurs survived till the iron age  :-)

    I don’t know about that. I think archaeologists have indeed dug sites where dinosaur and other rehisotric bones are. And there have been more than one episode involving Dino’s on time team https://youtu.be/VZmuk4AG6P8

    ...and i stumbled upon this threat... ;)

    Now a lesson about stratigraphy... well. No.

     

    Sure, not everything there is right, but is really was enthusiastic, that there is at least some useful archaeological stuff, with really great details - the creator did see a real excavation, i'm sure. 

    So, my ancient coin to this discussion.

    And: Yes, i'm archaeologican myself. ;)

    Maybe privately you can refer to it as just "The Dig Site" and then it can be anything you can imagine...lol ;)

    Well, thanks.  Now I've been googling Dimetrodons for 40 minutes instead of working on a new product.  lol

    Just need to get Sir Tony Robinson to make a TV series out of it now.... 

  • ButchButch Posts: 800

    Well, it it's an archaeologist that's doing the digging, how would they know they're dinosaur bones?  Considering they're not paleontologists, they may just think the Mayans were large boned.

    Put those doodles to good use and create a "paleontological dig site".  You could cause some controversy by adding human bones and a doe-skin bikini.

    For what it's worth, my Mom's degree is in archaeology, but she currently restores dinosaur and other early vertebrate fossils for a museum.  (Including, yes, a dimetrodon.)  So there IS some crossover in job skills.

    That would most likely depend on whether the bikini was based on ones from a classy piece of dino trash cinema like When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth or 1 Million Years BC, or something lamer like The Land That Time Forgot or Dinosaur Island.  We anthrodinoretrocinema enthusiasts can have demanding standards, after all.

    High heels started after dinosaur extinction.  Dino teeth were used for the first stiletto heel.

    One Million BC.  Oddly enough, it was only the other day that I googled the old dinosaur, to see if she was still around.  And, yes she is.

    It's a pretty stupid idea that they all died out at once. Or you wouldn't have crocodile alligator kimono, or reptiles in general. Where did they come from Lol!

    Here's a fun thought - water is quite a stable molecule, and given the amount we have on the planet and the amount of time dinosaurs 'ruled the world' it is a cast-iron certainty that every drop of water you drink has previously been drunk (and passed!) by a dinosaur cheeky

  • Midnight_storiesMidnight_stories Posts: 4,112

    Here's one that will blow your mind, how does water get into plants when plants have no system for pumping water, roots is just a piping system Lol!

    Yep.

    But hey, the plastic cup or bottle that you're drinking it out of probably contains a little dinosaur too:

    Roots aren't like pipes.  They're composed of living cells, each one of which works like a pump by absorbing water in like a sponge on one side and squeezing it out on the other into the next cell in line.   .

    I don't think anyone who was in One Million B.C. is still alive... that was the original film made in 1940 starring Carol Landis and Victor Mature, the source of that classic stock shot of the alligator with a fin glued to it's back wrestling with a monitor lizard that appears in so many B-movies.  That film was also, sadly, bikini-less... though if you want to see a really amazing example of two piece leather-wear from the same time period, Maureen O'Sullivan's abbreivated barely there costumes as Jane in Tarzan and His Mate are pretty darn racy even by today's standards. 

    That said, I'm surprised to see how many of the cast of One Million Years BC, the remake produced by Hammer films with effects by Ray Harryhausen, are still around and kicking. And Ms. Welch herself looks rather amazing for a woman of her age.
