Intelligent Dinosaurs

[Moontanman]

By 65 million years it could be oil again if it was subducted or folded, ground up by erosion, there is no way to tell what plastic would look like after 65 million years, plastic is not as hard as bronze, erosion would turn it to specs of something too light to go anywhere but the deep oceans.

It seems to be the general trend to assume that being "intelligent" is of a necessity bound to be associated with some sort of technology rather than say developments in the biological directions or culture. Most life forms are more or less "intelligent" yet very few of them use tools or other such artifices. If our dino club had a developed "intelligence" could it not have applied it to psycho/somatic adaptations ect., thus leaving nothing for the poor human archaeologists to dig for. If our dinos lads did "construct" "things", the continental plates have shunted about the place so much in the meantime that such "things" would now be buried deep in the earth's crust or deep under the oceans somewhere. Any way that "dino" lot that so called became extinct managed sneakily to turn themselves into many of the species that are running about the place now!
