Twisted Intestine Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah, I would have picked it if it was a dino. BZ has 12 hours from now.
Tawren Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Spinosaurus "According to recent estimates, Spinosaurus is the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, even larger than Tyrannosaurus rex and Giganotosaurus. These estimates suggest that it was around 16 to 18 metres (52 to 59 ft) in length and 7 to 9 tonnes (8 to 10 tons) in weight."
Just John Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I'll take one of the last "big names." Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus
CanadianGuitarist Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Ankylosaurus That's a steal. Anklyosaurus was a scary motherfucker.
Smartly Pretty Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Wait, a pterodactyl isn't a dinosaur? Can someone define dinosaur for me? What's a pterodactyl if not a dinosaur? I'm not in this draft or anything, but this sounds kinda interesting.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Wait, a pterodactyl isn't a dinosaur? Can someone define dinosaur for me? What's a pterodactyl if not a dinosaur? I'm not in this draft or anything, but this sounds kinda interesting. From Wiki: Pterosaur Pterosaurs (pronounced /ˈtɛrəsɔr/, from the Greek πτερόσαυρος, pterosauros, meaning "winged lizard", often referred to as pterodactyls, from the Greek πτεροδάκτυλος, pterodaktulos, meaning "winged finger" /ˌtɛrəˈdæktɨl/) were flying reptiles of the clade or order Pterosauria. They existed from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (220 to 65.5 million years ago). Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the thorax to a dramatically lengthened fourth finger. Earlier species had long, fully-toothed jaws and long tails, while later forms had a highly reduced tail, and some lacked teeth. Pterosaurs spanned a wide range of adult sizes, from the very small Nemicolopterus to the largest known flying creatures of all time, including Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx.[1][2][3] The payoff. Pterosaurs are sometimes referred to in the popular media as dinosaurs, but this is incorrect. The term "dinosaur" is properly restricted to a certain group of terrestrial reptiles with a unique upright stance (superorder Dinosauria), and therefore excludes the pterosaurs, as well as the various groups of extinct aquatic reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs. As a kid whose life revolved around dinosaurs, this is news to me as well. And you can't count the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs? I say let 'em all in. And the reason I didn't take part in this draft is because if I can't have my three-horned n*gga, and I knew he was going to be taken early, then my ceratopsid posse would be without a leader.

Here is the breakdown of Archosauria that they have at Wiki. Pterosaurs are closely related to dinosaurs, but they aren't dinosaurs themselves. Birds however are, but I think everyone here rightfully assumes that we are excluding birds with regards to this draft. Otherwise I would have already taken Archaeopteryx. As for mosasaurs, etc., they are pretty distantly related and have more in common with modern lizards and snakes than they do dinosaurs (well besides ichthyosaurs which are a bit different, and are a bit of a mystery). Crocodiles are actually closer to dinosaurs (in that they are both archosaurs) than those sea reptiles. EDIT: It didn't show up right, but here is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archosaurs It is at the very bottom of the page.
Brett Favre Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Erectopus lol. My picks: Eoraptor. and Argentinosaurus.
