Popular Post Carnoferox Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post #1 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) A mummified leg of a Thescelosaurus found at the Tanis Site in North Dakota has just been revealed. It was "cooked" by the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-61013740?xtor=AL-72-[partner]-[bbc.news.twitter]-[headline]-[news]-[bizdev]-[isapi] Edited April 6, 2022 by Carnoferox 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autochthon1990 Posted April 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2022 "Alright, so we were going to do an open showing so the public could have a look at this, but when crowds showed up with barbecue sauce, napkins, and bibs with the Jurassic park logo on it, we decided it was time to send it off to the Smithsonian" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted April 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2022 From the OP's link: The BBC has spent three years filming at Tanis for a show to be broadcast on 15 April, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016djt Great! I'll look out for that. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted April 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Something I find very amazing is that apparently if the dinosaurs did not "disappear" humans would not even exist because they would have eaten all the progenitors of the human race. They (the carnivore variety) apparently we're the apex predators of their time with a voracious appetite. God bless the asteroid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanc241 Posted April 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Watched the above mentioned documentary last night. Very interesting and with CGI brought it all to life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted April 16, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Fascinating find, although I'm sceptical to the claim that it would be from the day of the asteroid impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
