joshT Posted October 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) DORMOD, MONGOLIA — They say even under perfect conditions, it couldn’t be possible. Yet somehow, paleontologists have unearthed a preserved dinosaur foot (or bird foot?) deep in the heart of the Gobi Desert in Southern Mongolia. They even have pics.

Simbi Laveau Posted October 30, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Weekly world news.... The guys who print stuff about demon babies giving birth to aliens, and talking trees ? I know sometimes their stories are legit, and I do love bat boy, but until this shows up in another news outlet, I will hold off on getting excited.

Bildr Posted October 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) If the story was legit that would have been an AWESOME news but..... I'm sorry guys. ---> http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Upland_Moa The Upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus) was a species of Moa bird endemic to New Zealand. It was a member of the ratite family, a type of flightless bird with no keel on the sternum. It was the last moa species to become extinct, vanishing around 1500 AD.

Still Waters Posted October 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2013 They even have pics. The link is here: http://weeklyworldne...aur-foot-found/ That picture has been posted on various websites. Like Bildr has already said, it's not a dinosaur's foot - The Lesser Megalapteryx or Upland Moa (Megalapteryx didinus) was a flightless bird native to the northern part of New Zealand. It became extinct around the 14th century AD. Early on it was possible that they could take flight but as they evolved they grew in size, with the larger ones reaching nearly 500 pounds and standing 12 feet high. http://www.icanhasin...alapteryx-foot/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabby Kitten Posted November 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) The most well preserved dinosaurs found so far is of an Edmontosaurus, who has been called "Dakota". Oh and "Leonardo" the Bracylophosaurus. Edited November 17, 2013 by Rogue Suga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
