    Especially Therapoda (including T-Rex) often had feathers, so…

    We can at least rule out that it was hair, since hair is a mammal thing. But, it could be modified feathers. They may have even developed primitive shampoo and even shampoo commercials where they wash their hair in a waterfall. Those aren’t necessarily mammal only, like actual hair.

      Maybe it’s feathers, maybe it’s Maybelline.

    Chuckled loudly, but couldn’t resist checking its veracity:

    Why are fossilized hairs so rare?
    “[…] The rarity might be explained by feathers and hair containing different types of the protein keratin, which may impact the likelihood of fossilization. However, the study notes that the lack of hair samples could have nothing to do with fossilization, and be explained by the collecting behavior of paleontologists, with a single feather usually being much easier to identify than a single hair. […]” —https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/09/170907142722.htm

    the absence of evidence for CFC’s points to their lack of hairspray tho.

    So it’d be really frizzy dino hair.

    Those dino-hair stylists knew what they were doing. I wonder why we haven’t found parts of huge hair dryers though. 🤔

    Dinosaurs had feathers. These guys are related to birds after all. For all we know, they had glorious peacock-like shiny feathers

      AFAIK we only found proof that smaller species and juvenile dinos had feathers, but we haven’t found proof that adult big animals were feathered. So, maybe baby T-Rex looked like a 🦚, but grandpa 🦖 was bald? Well, it’s a grandpa after all and most grandpas are bald. QED.
