Scientists discover 115-million-year-old fossil of new dinosaur species in Brazil

The fossil indicates that the species stemmed from a line of dinosaurs even more ancient in origin than the one that was said to have given rise to the T-Rex. The carnivores were dubbed "Aratasaurus museunacionali."



Scientists believe the newly-discovered Aratasaurus museunacionali roamed the Earth 115 million years ago


A team of Brazilian researchers announced on Friday the discovery of a 115-million-year-old fossil belonging to a previously unknown species of dinosaur in the northeastern state of Ceara.

The "Aratasaurus museunacionali" is a previously unknown species of the medium-sized theropods, meaning it had hollow bones and three-toed limbs.

According to paleontologist Juliana Sayao, the fossil of the animal, who apparently died young, indicated it already weighed around 34.25 kilos and was 3.12 meters in height.

Sayao said the discovery of the Aratasaurus will help scientists better understand the evolutionary history of the carnivorous theropods and that the discovery is also a sign that other types of carnivorous dinosaurs inhabited the region millions of years ago.

1. K&R & thanks. nt

4. Thank you, tblue37.

2. Man, I wish they'd go back to B/W renderings of dinos ...

and leave off the feathers unless they're well established in the fossil record for that genus.

3. That image is surprising. Looks more a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float. n/t

5. My landlord thinks that dinosaurs are a hoax...

-

How do you deal with someone like that?

6. Scary! I'll bet it's because they are in that hoaxy "evolution" stuff, and that's all a lie!

7. Ha, that's funny, but here's a serious question...

-

She also believes planned parenthood is a front for this huge world-wide organ harvesting operation.

She told me that she's seen videos that prove it, and it's why they're always pushing women to get an abortion. The more abortions, the more money.

I asked her how she knew the video was even taken at Planned Parenthood, and she just smiled.

First of all, I like her, and she's always giving me breaks when I don't have the rent on time, but I still call her the crazy conspiracy lady when she comes over for it.

She thinks it's funny, but she was dead serious about the video.

My question is, have you, or anyone else here, ever heard of it, or seen it?

I've heard rumors about some kind of video concerning them, but I've never actually seen it.

Them being a front for this international organ harvesting consortium is a new one on me, though.

8. Never have heard of anything even close to it. I've heard of organ harvesting from prisoners,

or harvested from people snatched from the streets, none of it ever in reference to any specific examples, but have never heard of it connected to abortions. I think I may have even seen a TV detective story concerning drugging people, borrowing their organs after drugging them, then leaving them in hotel rooms. That seems rude, doesn't it?

Have never met anyone in person who had discussed this possibility.

Sounds as if she may have been easily influenced by someone who really has too much time on his/her hands. I really don't think there is any possibility of a realistic video showing anything remotely credible. Did you ever see the autopsy of an alien found after his saucer crashed, which ran on the Fox Chanel years ago? It could have easy been something like that!

It's good she feels genial toward you, she's not someone you'd want to humiliate by calling her gullible!

I think women's health care physicians have enough to worry about without trying to make illegal fortunes while having to watch over their shoulders every day for right-wing assassins!

9. Maybe I could go undercover and check it out, and get this:

-

the video was owned by some lawyers trying to take down planned parenthood.

That alone made me suspicious, but next time I see her, I'll ask if it's possible for me to see it also.

She also thinks 9/11 was an inside job, and the moon landing was faked, so personally, I don't think she's gullible, but rather just suspicious of the government, and that's a good thing really.

I'm also suspicious of both those events, because there are just too many anomalies that have never been satisfactorily explained to my satisfaction, but that's besides the point.

Anyway, thanks for answering my question and wish me luck.
