Still Waters Posted May 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Scientists say fossils found in Argentina's Patagonia region provide the first evidence that a family of long-necked, whip-tailed dinosaurs survived beyond the Jurassic period, when they were thought to have gone extinct. http://www.telegraph...-Argentina.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenemet Posted May 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2014 More information at this link -- they're calling it the "tiniest" of the species, but "tiny" here is relative (9 meters, or about 19 feet) http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/tiny-cousin-diplodocus-found-south-america 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted May 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Very interesting. I was just reading about this. Supposedly diplodocid branch dinosaurs died out 145 million years ago, but these new fossils may be only from 66 million years ago?
