Science-gaps Memes

The scientific gap in our fossil record just became fabulous! While soft tissues rarely preserve in fossils, paleontologists have indeed found some dinosaurs with feather impressions—but this luxurious mane takes speculation to hilarious extremes. It's the paleontological equivalent of saying "maybe T-Rex had jazz hands." The beauty of science is acknowledging what we don't know, but this glamorous interpretation makes me wonder if dinosaurs also had strong opinions about conditioner brands.
