Paleontologists believe they may have discovered a new species of dinosaur after digging up the remains of a 165 million year old sea creature.
The five-and-a-half metre plesiosaur skeleton was found in a quarry in Peterborough and experts believe it could be a new species of the flippered marine reptile.

Cool! Technically, plesiosaurs are not dinosaurs but marine reptiles. Dinosaurs were only terrestrial animals.

Thank goodness that's all. I thought maybe we weren't supposed to use an insensitive term like "dinosaur." It has gone the way of "caveman" and other thoughtless expressions.

Or, it could be a variety of species whose bones were washed together through the ebb and flow of the tides.

...digging up the remains of a 165 million year old sea creature... Technically, it ain't new. It is just previously undiscovered. ;-D

Technically, plesiosaurs are not dinosaurs but marine reptiles. Jury's still out on the reptile part; they may have been warm-blooded rather than reptilian.

Because of you, I had to look that up, and then watch the movie. It was HILLARIOUS! Me and my video game playing 15 year old son watched it, and busted our guts laughing. We then watched the companion David Hasslehoff music video.
Epic, like Thor’s pecs! Thanks!!!!
