Well, this one wasn't a high-power scientific error, but it was my
favorite and nobody's mentioned it yet:

The Triceratops had "fossil" horns!  Somehow I don't think the horns
of a living Triceratops would be full of angular, "post-fossilization"
cracks.  But then, maybe they were.  Maybe *all* fossil animals had
comminuted bones in life!  Where's Gary Larson when you need him??
