Category:Anatomically incorrect dinosaur restorations

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

Images in this category are tagged because they do not live up to the criteria for inclusion of the Dinosaur WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, and should not be used in any Wikipedia articles about dinosaurs:

Criteria for removing an image:

• Image differs appreciably from known skeletal elements.
  • Example: If a Deinonychus is reconstructed with four fingers.
• Image differs appreciably from implied skeletal elements (via bracketing).
  • Example: If an oviraptorid known only from postcranial elements is reconstructed with teeth, a feature made highly improbable by its phylogenetic position.
• Image differs appreciably from known non-skeletal elements.
  • Example: If an image of Microraptor gui lacks primary feathers.
• Image differs appreciably from implied non-skeletal elements.
  • Example: Nomingia should not be depicted without feathers, since a skeletal feature (the pygostyle) and phylogenetic bracketing (more advanced than Caudipteryx) imply that it was feathered. Similarly, Ceratosaurus should not be depicted with feathers, since a skeletal feature (osteoderms) and its proximity to Carnotaurus (extensive scale impressions) imply that it was fully scaled.
• Image pose differs appreciably from known range of motion.
  • Example: Theropod dinosaurs reconstructed with overly flexed tails or pronated "bunny-style" hands.
  • Exception: If the range of motion is debated in the scientific literature, as is the case with sauropod neck position.

Please consider submitting new images for peer review at WikiProject Dinosaurs Image Review.
