Huh, my first thought was, the Predator taking on dinosaurs would be a pretty cool movie: https://svpow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/bizarre-headgea...

I thought we were moving toward depicting dinosaurs as having feathers? Or is there just too little evidence around what exactly that would look like to add it to visualizations?

To be fair, this is in Oklahoma so we're lucky they're depicting dinosaurs as real at all.

Just kidding. This museum is actually awesome. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly when I visited years ago (I went to college nearby).

If I remember correctly, one of the curators mentioned adding feathers to some of their more permanent exhibits when I was there. Maybe they are still working on expanding that and/or getting everyone on board? I'd love to hear their actual reasoning! I gotta go back and pester them about feathers.

When I read the title, I thought this was "headgear" as in dental appliances and tools. And to be honest, that would also be a cool exhibit.
