Good day,
I was wondering if it is actually true (what some books and media state), that well known dinosaur species (like Tyrannosaurus rex) are "better known/thoroughly described" than some of the less known recent species of vertebrates (say some endemic lizard species from distant and almost inaccessible localities). Even though we have a lot of skeletal material and modern methods of studying it, I doubt any extinct species as old as Cretaceous dinosaurs could be "better known" than recent species that we can study using genetics, molecular biology, observe their modes of behaviour, reproduction etc. Thank you for your thoughts! Tom
