One of my favorite accidental anachronisms was in a " blood and sand " ( gladiator ) movie, where one of the gladiators was wearing his wristwatch during one of the fight scenes.
Nonsense! My formerly-sweet cockatiel goes full T-Rex on my earlobe ever since he got his hormones and his head turned yellow, little bastard. (And don’t forget that there is a carving of a fully-fleshed stegosaurus on a wall of Angkor Wat. Did they have tenured paleontologists? I think not.)

Or “Allosaurus” or “Albertosaurus” or “Acrocanthosaurus”, or… wait, there’s no dorsal ridge, scratch that last one.

For the next letter I suggest “bail,” as in “let’s bail.”

Funny, it works all the time on BC.

To give you and idea how long dinosaurs reigned, there is more time between the Allosaurous and Tyrannosaurus than between the T-Rex and ourselves.

Fossil Record: Either God’s joke on paleontologists or God’s joke on Biblical Literalists. Take your pick.

Sure they did, starting on September 30, 1960 on the ABC network in the USA.
