Groups

We are currently running a contest to design a banner for the Hell Creek forum (www.hellcreek.tk).

Rules: There are none, just create something that fits archosaurian/mesozoic-paleontology theme of the website.

If you are not a member of Hell Creek, entries can be posted in this thread. Also post in this thread to express your interest so I can get a rough idea of the numbers and who will be entering.

The deadline is Sunday the 11th of September. Get involved and enjoy!
  • Mood: Optimism

I've been lurking around JP Legacy for a while, and I saw some posts saying non-avian dinosaurs couldn't vocalize, where did that come from?

It stems from the fact that it was thought that birds used only a very specialized organ called the syrinx to vocalize, something which non-avian dinosaurs have no indication of, and crocodilians don't have.

However, it has since been discovered that birds do in fact use their larynx (the sound organ used by crocodilians as well as other reptiles and mammals) in order to create some of their vocal sounds. So, and sound a bird makes with this organ, along with sounds crocodilians make, non-avian dinosaurs should also be able to do in theory.

I'd personally venture that the vast majority would be low end grumbles and growls in the order of crocs and ratites though.
