    So tired of this meme, especially in a science themed sub. It’s just wrong and thusly promotes disinformation because it takes seconds to read a meme like this and move on without question. Meanwhile it takes (comparitavely) ages to actually research how fossils are reconstructed. If people even think to research it in the first place, because, hey, it’s in a science-based sub, right??

    Remember kids, the best memes are those based on truth 😎

      ok, but can we make fun of old “skin wrapping” reconstructions?

      because for most people, Jurassic park are still their standard version of dinosaur reconstitution.

        Right, and that’s why most people would believe this meme and take it as 100% truthful. The meme doesn’t specify that that’s the way we USED to do it, it says that’s how it would be done
