Cool Things to Find (Dinosaur Paleontology)by ~Albertonykus

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Inspired by "Cool Things to Find", which is in turn a parody of the viral ad "Dumb Ways to Die".

Counter clockwise from top left: Microraptor, Scansoriopteryx, Nigersaurus, Limusaurus, Haplocheirus, Nyasasaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Deinonychus, Maiasaura (with young), Yutyrannus, Dromiceiomimus, Anchiornis, and Tianyulong

Apologies for being theropod centric and including only finds made during and after the "Dinosaur Renaissance". I would've liked to draw a tribute to all the cool discoveries in paleontology as a whole, but I was hard pressed to prioritize even among just recent dinosaur finds.

Either way, it's a great time to be alive, folks.

A hunter fit and bright
A nursery nesting site
Lawnmower teeth never seen before
Feathers found on a non-avian dinosaur

Cool things to find, so many cool things to find
Cool things to find, so many cool things to find

Trace the start of your family tree
A cousin you never knew could be
Make ancestry less incomplete
Something with wings upon its feet

Cool things to find, so many cool things to find
Cool things to find, so many cool things to find

Find an offshoot completely unexpected
Confirm hypotheses you’ve long suspected
Extend the bracket for a fuzzy covering
Discover soft tissue in a fluvial deposit
Investigate colors of a fossil feather
They may not rhyme but they're quite possibly

The coolest things to find
Coolest things to find
Coolest things to find
So many cool
So many cool things to find

Nicely done!

You know they've released a "Karaoke edition" of the song? See: [link]

So you can now sing along to the tune with the above lyrics whenever you want (which I am sure you already do

)

...I don't believe the original ad is actually for the train network I travel on. XD

Right, let's see.

A hunter fit and bright - Deinonychus
A nursery nesting site - Maiasaura
Lawnmower teeth never seen before - Nigersaurus
Feathers found on a non-avian dinosaur - Sinosauropteryx (being the first)

Trace the start of your family tree - Nyasasaurus
A cousin you never knew could be - Limusaurus
Make ancestry less incomplete - Haplocheirus
Something with wings upon its feet - Microraptor

Find an offshoot completely unexpected - Limusaurus
Confirm hypotheses you’ve long suspected - Yutyrannus or Dromiceiomimus (Ornithomimus)
Extend the bracket for a fuzzy covering - Yutyrannus or Tianyulong or Dromiceiomimus
Discover soft tissue in a fluvial deposit - Scansoriopteryx (probably)
Investigate colors of a fossil feather - Anchiornis and Sinosauropteryx

^I'm not entirely sure about the last verse^

"A cousin you never knew could be" is Scansoriopteryx, "Extend the bracket for a fuzzy covering" is Tianyulong, and "Discover soft tissue in a fluvial deposit" is Dromiceiomimus; otherwise you got them all more or less.

Ok, thank you
