[RichInOC]

Isn’t that guy on “Lost”?

[svcw]

So you mean there were tress and grasses in what is now the Utah desert?
Huh, who would have though there were changes in the climate. /s/
Very interesting.

Seitaad ruessi, which is derived from the Navajo word, Seit'aad, a sand-desert monster from the Navajo creation legend that swallowed its victims in sand dunes.

Odd how the Navajo would have such a legend when the time span is so great and there was no possible overlap between this creature and humans. Unless we're wrong about the time span.

How did all those dinosaurs die before Adam sinned?

[DannyTN]

So that’s what happened to Hagrid.

[Mike Darancette]

Which one is the Dinosaur?

[BIGLOOK]

That's the second one in as many days.....first was the Velociraptor.

Maybe I ought to invest in desert properties, who knows what I'll find.

[this didn't just happen]

Of course it didn't "just happen!" He crossed the Mastodon Mafia; you don't mess with those guys!

I can only express how dangerous those guys are by TYPING IN ALL CAPS!

They made him "swim with the sand fleas!"

[righttackle44]

Ahb . . . the white thingey is the Seitaad Ruessi?

And the guy in blue just killed it?

‘THIS DIDN’T JUST HAPPEN’?!!!

They HAD to say that, heheh.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Prayers for the family.

[CIDKauf]

Is this site near Vernal or Jenson?... couldn’t find Bluff on the map.

[FourPeas]

A large curved claw on its "thumb" is a bit of a mystery, as paleontologists aren't sure what function it would have for an herbivorous beast that's not snagging meaty prey.

An interesting tidbit.
