I like Saturn's rings just fine, but I would rather see a velociraptor use a telescope.

However, a dinosaur with a telescope COULD have predicted the rings by observing the decaying orbit of the ice moon, then cyrogenically frozen themselves so they could wake up 100 million years later and see them.

The popular theory is that the rings are a debris field created when an ice moon got too close to Saturn and was ripped apart by gravity. The ice ring will eventually fall into Saturn itself.
