translation:
Shang Dynasty, Jade dinosaur H. 39cm, W. 14kgs Some believes the mythical Chinese dragon may be the dinosaur in the Gretaceous Period. The Chinese character of Dragon has been formed by the pattern derivation which must base some thing in the real world. If this is true, then the ancient Chinese must see the live dinosaur to compose the dragon character. The shape of ancient character of dragon looks like the shape of dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus is the major dinosaur family of the Gretaceous period. Tyrannosaurus was one of the largest terrestrial carnivores of all time. It stood approximately 15 feet high and was about 40 feet in length, roughly six tons in weight. In its large mouth were six-inch long, sharp, serrated teeth. The artifact has the simplified design of tyrannosaurus with only two legs. The typical relief auspicious cloud lines in the Shang dynasty. It is made of white color nephrite with phenomena of differential weathering, cleaving veins and earth penetration.
Wow, expensive.
two-legs and a tail...reminds me of the creature on the Ica Stone.
Well, those who have not evolved are naturally opposed to evolution - is it any fun to be left behind?
And turtle and frog legs. T-Rex must have eaten what they ate.
Hey Ernest, if they gather enough of this protein to culture it and inject it in enough chickens, a one-egg breakfast will not be a diet plan.
"I've found my inner T. Rex!"
ROFL!
LOL...what’s he holding?
“No damn T-Rex shrunk down over eons to become a friggin chicken!”
Such a sophisticated and well supported opinion!
I always assumed T-Rex tasted like chicken, but was never willing to get close enough to find out.
Man, Thanksgiving dinner would have been pretty filling back then. Wonder how much stuffing one of those birds would take?
“It is the same substance injected into the lips, and other areas of the body, in cosmetic surgery procedures.”
....and used to make McDonalds thick shakes...
...allegedly!
“adult fairy tale”
Describes most religious texts..
hey, put me on. :-)
To me, it looks like a RINO, oops, rhino, with some stuff in the background. :’) Those rhinos are always horning in. Thanks for the ping, looks like an earlier version is here:
