@skitterly: One of the saddest fossils tells the tale of a small herd of psittacosaurus. It was a group of babies, escorted by an older relative, not even an adult itself. They are presumed to have been struck by a land slide, yet even after becoming fossils, the young herd still stayed together. #illustration #fossils #dinosaurs #sad

psittacosaurus is so important to me i am gonna CRY

Nocturnie :

What’s sad is the oldest on of the group is adolescent/juvi so it was their older sister or brother watching over them (and it shows family bonds were a big thing for dinosaurs) 😭😭😭

dreamfyre1990 :

As soon as I saw a bunch of baby psittacosaurus, I knew exactly where this was going

When you’re so little and scared, but you are trying to protect your littler siblings who were scared too

day ruined

Ghosting The World :

iirc it was a still a juvenile/adolescent watching over them. Not even an adult/fully grown yet 🥲

DCHasBones :

Big brother!!!! The fact that it was a juvenile male. 😭

Pstar7 :

Does that mean they lived in big colonies and one adult baby sitted the hatchlings while the others went bringing food for their babies? that might be a good theory

The answer is yes. I discovered them as rocks but i still love them
