Things like this really make me wonder how accurate our understanding of dinosaurs is today. There is no way anyone would manage to do a reconstruction that looks like a hammerhead shark just from this skull.
I think any reconstruction of a dinosaur where there is just a skull as a refence point will be taken with a fairly large pinch of salt. However, many dinosaurs look fairly similar to other dinosaurs that we do have more complete fossils as reference, so they’ll end up being based on those as well.
I want to hear the local’s tell the story about the witch in the forest that merged the ghost owl with the giant bitey fish, and how if little kids don’t get their chores done, the monster will eat them when they go to the pond or river for a bath.
This skull is proof, and I will not hear otherwise.
