How convenient of the 1,500 dinosaurs to die directly in exhibit hall. You might as well be telling me to go to
https://www.mysteryspot.com/ for evidence of the paranormal. Is that all it really takes to trick you folks? Are your imaginations so hungered that they will grasp onto any wild whim of a mad man? Flying Lizard Dragons that magically turn into birds?
Really?
We have already examined the techniques that go into such a production earlier in this thread.
Some Methods Used To Fake- Using real materials such as bones teeth and body parts embedded in glue and resin
- Crushing Genuine fossils and mixing with glue to fabricate parts to ensure proper colouring and composition
- Casting, painting and sculpting, breaking it, then repairing for calcite veins
- Blending together modern skulls of different animals
- Assembling fossils of unrelated real species together to form a fake
It's easy to see how tourist traps like those could fool the untrained eye. They are stunning works of equal part deception and fantasy. They have made a profession around finding the traits common to all these fabrications, and unknowingly act as simple assessors of the quality of the duplicate, at best, and at worst inventors of mad ideas and schemes to keep these ludicrous beasts alive. Rooted in their history of fakery, dupery, and general misconduct and nonsense they have now multiple generations of unknowing students dreaming of their little dragons while they fumble around with cheap chinese knock offs.
