Just in case nobody has ever looked into it: nobody has ever actually seen a fossil, other than what universities and paleontologists claim in books or news reports. If you dig into the facts, they say fossils are kept in underground bunkers because they deteriorate upon contact with the air. So, when you go to a museum, those skeletons you see are just artist recreations based on shapes found in the ground. In the past, they used to mix real bones, like those of marine mammals, reptiles, or large land mammals, with brass castings. If you went into a museum and the curator was honest, he would tell you what he’d been told: that they are 80% brass. But nowadays, they are probably entirely made of plastic. Another fun fact: in the 1800s, books were being written about giant reptiles before anyone had even imagined a dinosaur. So, have we been trolled by the Smithsonian Institution? Probably.
