The pictures of animals as interpreted by some future archaeology are very interesting. As a child I went through a phase - I suspect many of us did - where I gobbled up every bit of information on dinosaurs I could get. I never thought about how difficult it is to reconstruct what an animal looked like from its bones. It is a little sad, because there are so many open questions and some of those simply cannot be answered without a time machine. But at the same time, I am happy that our understanding of dinosaurs is still evolving.
