There are whole ecosystems we've basically never sampled.

This drives me crazy. Along with the fact that we'll probably never know about the various colors and fleshy structures that these animals had.

Or what they taste like if you serve them with a side salad

We know for a fact that at least one dinosaur tastes like chicken.

Every dinosaur I've ever eaten has tasted fowl.

Chicken! Maybe turkey, but probably chicken or possibly another game bird, but probably chicken!

They've actually started figuring out some colours believe it or not. I'll see if I can dig it up... Edit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_coloration

There's a decent video on that page too.

"dig it up". I see what you did there
