     @futurebird @breadandcircuses
     in the 1980s, Harry Harrison wrote a series in which a civilization of intelligent mosasaurs (but, oddly more like amphibians rather than reptiles) develops tech, cities, etc, based on organics and genetically modified creatures. Submarines are genetically modified Ichthyosaurs, buildings are genetically modified trees, video cameras are genetically modified frogs, and so on. Unfortunately, the intelligent mosasaurs are the villains.

     Now I want a movie about an intelligent dinosaur civilization that is aware of the the catastrophe, debates and stalls, then at last, tries at the very last moment desperately to do something --and fails.

     Then at the end they suppose that future life will *at least* remember them: but of course we don't-- all their tech was made of organics, and worked in ways we don't recognize now.
