okay, wow, that smbc actually got me. Or rather, the implications.
Paper making. … or they’re made from parchment. Which could have all kinds of darker implications.
Ink making
Dinosaur post.
We can’t say the had a printing press. Could be hand lettered. Though they’d be very expensive if each copy was hand-made and then sealed in the disposable envelope. That or dinosaurs had a money-free socialist society.
And now we come to the biggest question of all: Did dinosaurs recycle?
The implications are truly staggering, I agree.

The neat thing is that if we beef it in the next couple of centuries, all archeological traces of human civilization will be pretty much gone after four million years.
Future raccoon scientists might have some cute theories about carbon levels and certain radioactive isotopes, but archeological or fossil evidence will be practically nonexistent. The planet will have resurfaced itself, and all our works will have rotted and worn away, even the plastic and the steel and the concrete.
The thing about fossils is that everything that's not a fossil is gone within a few millennia at most, and what we know about most species are based on one fossil every ten thousand years. We absolutely wouldn't know about a Jurassic Roman Empire, and we probably wouldn't know about a Cretaceous industrial revolution. It's a matter of debate, but it's entirely possible be wouldn't be able to spot a Paleocene nuclear holocaust, if only because we're not looking for it hard enough. There are fun things like natural nuclear reactors fucking up the record all over the place that will make it an uphill fight for any evidence we manage to scrounge up.
I don't think there was an advanced dinosaur civilization, but it's weird how hard it would be to find evidence of one if it existed. Pretty much all that's going to be left of us after the ultimate season of The Bachelor is the shit we've left scattered on stable rocks like the moon and Mars, so I guess keep an eye out for a troodon flag in the next set of Curiosity photos.
