uh huh, I was there to see it. And, that's as truthful as the claim.
This is like when I clean the basement and find things I’ve been missing for years.
I used to have an intact skeleton of one of these dinos, but when I went away to college my mom sold it for 50 cents at a garage sale.
The estimate of the age is truthful, as opposed to than claiming that the Earth turned 6015 last month.
She should have gotten at least 2 bucks for it.
Only 76 million years? I guess the age of this animal would make it almost contemporaneous with ‘Sue’ the T-Rex that had red blood cells and spongeform tissues still in her femurs.

I can't say for certain where you're coming from, but I'm sort of reminded of a website I saw that claimed that dinosaurs lived during biblical times. I think Noah saddled up a diplodocus and Sampson slew velociraptors with his mighty sword.
“........roamed the Earth approximately 76 million years ago”
I dispute this. According to my calculations, it was 73.5 million years ago. I would like to see some explicit proof of why they added an extra 2.5 million years.
2 1/2 million years is an incredibly long long long time.
No red blood cells have ever been found, period. The "remains" of some red blood cells have been found in some dinosaurs (I have no idea about Sue). Red blood cells don't last any significant time at all. The iron formerly in the hemoglobin does.
BBC One has an unbelievably good series running on dinosaurs now—it’s called Planet Dinosaur. The effects are quite lifelike, and there is a lot of science, not fluff. I don’t think it’s on BBC America yet, but anyone inclined to find it will know how.
Looks like a spike buck. Look at them ears! Must be a muley. Snicker-snort!
Smaller cousin or just an adolescent version of Triceratops?
Don’t tell me...I know this one... the museum basement flooded and the dinosaur drowned and was buried in the dust until a janitor exposed its bones during a clean up.
A dino in the rough?
Thanks for the pix....Kinda looks like a rhino but their (rhino) “horn” is matted hair.
