We have no evidence these dinosaurs didn’t wear adorable hats made from compostable materials

There is analysis of soft material around some fossils.

We know that they didn't all wear adorable hats mode from compostable materials.

More accurately they didn't all, ALWAYS wear adorable hats. It very well could be the norm, just not when treking through the tar pits... or just coincidentally the .00001% that actually fosilized in ways to give analysis of soft materials happened to have left their hats at home.

True... humans wear adorable hats all the time, yet I've never seen a report of a fossilized human found wearing an adorable hat.

In fact, we know that they did wear adorable hats made from compostable materials. It's just that the hats were extremely valuable, and so whenever we find dead dinos without their hats it is likely because of grave robbing, or potentially even that they were murdered for their hats. Held at claw point, and marched into the tar pits, all for the hats so they proudly wore.

Oh, right. Not all of them or not all of the time. At least one of those.

So we lived closer to a triceratops than it did to a stegosaurus? My brain hurts.

There is more time between Stegosaurus and T. Rex than there is between T. Rex and humans!

To imagine T. Rexes roaming around... feels like yesterday!

From the pathetic t-rex to the mighty chicken.

Pretty sure 250mya is before dinosaurs. According to the dates given by Wikipedia, Stegosaurus is 145-155 myo

There is more time between the building of the last pyramids and cleopatras rule than there is between her and us.

Also Mammoths were alive when they were built
