Thanks for posting!
Hey....I think I see some kankles....
I shall name him “Fluffy.”

Possibly related to the modern-day Canklosaur...
They found the skull just laying on a hill, after millions of years. Sure . . .
Yes they were, some of the most strangest creatures ever.
Almost as ugly as Pelosi!!!
Why not?
Montana is a pretty big place, and fossils are not always easy to recognize.
Similiar sized brain as well, and I’m sure she has a tail.
ewwwwww! cankles!

The top picture proves Helen Thomas is an Ankylosaur.
Tell me, how many thousands of years will a fossilized skull last out in the open rain, snow, freezing, sun, heat and wind?
Lots of them have been found on the surface.
Besides, what reason do they have for lying?
They “found much of the skull ... resting on the surface of a hillside ...” . The fossil was in the hill and gradually being exposed by erosion.
What cute little fella’(sarcasm)
‘’They just found the skull laying on a hill..’’ You know Frenchhtown, I’ve often wondered that myself. So many years in schools studying, writing papers etc. and then they just go out and bingo! Theres the fossil what-ever-it-is just laying there. Drop your car keys on your front lawn in the dark and the things are lost forever but heres multi-million year old junk just ‘’laying right there’’. Amazing.
