Nice find but where are the pictures? Did I miss them somewhere?

They never really look that impressive in situ. We have to wait until it's transported and cleaned.

Have you ever transported or cleaned them yourself? That would be interesting.

No, I haven't. Just what I've seen in documentaries and Nat. Geo.

Maybe in my next life. :D

I am dedicating my skeletal structure to Science, only if they promise to exhibit my bones straddling a T Rex ...

We all know how cold parts of Utah can get. Yet at one time it was warm enough for a T-Rex. If what ever casued the ice age didn't happen, would we be here today?  Makes you wonder.

I think he might be saying that the Ice Age caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, but I'm not sure.

I would settle for finding a tooth or perhaps a claw to wear round my neck.

That's what I meant.  The object that struck the Yucatan peninsula must have put enough small pieces of dirt and itself to block the sunlight the way a nuclear winter is always represented as happening.  Lizards like heat. If they don't have and they couldn't adapt, they died.

Yes, there is evidence for an impact winter that lasted 1-10 years following the Chicxulub event: http://www.pnas.org/content/111/21/7537.full

However, dinosaurs weren't lizards and they weren't ectothermic. It wasn't the winter that directly killed them, but its effects on photosynthesis and the ecosystem would have been a contributing factor to their extinction. It is important to keep in mind that there was not a singular cause for the extinction of the dinosaurs but rather a combination of factors.

I thought most of them went on to become birds ?

Indeed they did. I was speaking in regards to the non-avialan dinosaurs that went extinct.

Careful, you might wind up displayed in a creation science museum.

THat's what I tell the kiddies ... in some respect that they are in fact, munching on dinos when they are biting into a McChicken ... :D

Wouldn't want any pelvis exposure around children.

In a pelvic sense, one can't possibly any more fully exposed when one in there only in the bones ... :D
