apparently if you want to have a better understanding of all the recent scientific advances in palaeontology then Micheal J. Benton's The Dinosaurs Rediscovered is your book.

That's ridiculous, how would a t-rex even use toilet paper

the tail wasn't used for the purpose of balancing, some researchers are saying

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 20:47 (six years ago)

well obviously they just had to click their talons and a stressed looking edmontosaurus or some other from the precariat/lunch class of dinos would dutifully scamper to the local shitpit to wipe their arse for them with some 2 ply leaves!

they need to evolve into sub-micron sized ugly bassas with faces like anuses before harbouring ambitions to go into space ffs!

Carnian Pluvial Episode might be a new one to add to the big five, or six if you count the current one playing out in our brutish and short human timeline.

calzino, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 07:49 (five years ago)

Probably not one of the "big 5" (or 6_). More of a "dwarf" mass extinction, like the end-Edicarian (541 Mya), Capitanian (260 Mya), or Paleocene-Eocene (55 Mya). Since the marine fossil record is so much more complete, that's generally used to plot extinction intensity, and there no real signal of the Carnian-Pluvial above the noise in that data set.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Extinction_intensity.svg/1200px-Extinction_intensity.svg.png

Still, the first 17 My of the Triassic were possibly the worst extended period for life since the Snowball earths of Cryogenian. First the two great extinction pulses of the Great Dying (end-Permian), then another 9 My where life is scarce and gains little traction, and in another 8 million years, the Carnian Pluvial.
