My skepticism is in good company here, I see.

I bought into this new dinosaur on the block, and was enthused. The default mode in Freeper Land is skepticism and cynicism. Now I am more skeptical of this discovery. Also, because it will get a big ol' PR blast on the BBC with (can do no wrong) David Attenborough. The timing is.... uncanny!

It’s more like a TRex had just cbomped down on this poor critter and a leg fell out of it’s mouth.

One or two hours before the mega- asteroid hit the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately the T-Rex stumbled and was washed down the river. Thus, no T-Rex fossil remains to be found.

I may be in a minority, but I think this discovery is legit and fascinating. Don’t reject the story if you don’t like the messenger

It looks like these new dinosaurs are getting a big Freeper down vote.

Let's see what sauropod has to say.

Looks exactly like the feet of one of my chickens. Of course, chickens were alive in South America at the time. Luckily for us, they were located at the very Southern tip of South America and were able to survive. Chickens = One tasty Dinosaur.

Floods rip off appendages? I suppose ... tangentially ... maybe.

I agree. It’s not like there wasn’t plenty of other things that might tear a leg off. If they miss the estimated date by 1/10%, that’s only an error of 60,000 years.

Neat!

I wonder what Dinosaur Leg is priced at, in Aldi’s. Maybe $6.99 a pound?

Scientists find fossil from THE DAY the dinosaurs died 66m years ago<<<

Findings were made at Tanis, a renowned paleontological site in North Dakota...

Tanis, in North Dakota??

I really did nazi that coming.

("Only the Best Come North.")

Is there a Well of Souls for dinosaurs?

More from the Daily Mail article:

Entitled 'Dinosaurs: The Final Day with David Attenborough', the documentary will be aired on BBC One on Friday, April 15

(110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic)

RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic was a British passenger liner...

Of course any fan of The Far Side knows the *real* reason dinosaurs became extinct.

Need to look at this in closer detail.

Going to send this to a few fossil nuts i know. A couple of them are real interested in the K-T boundary.

You’ll be forking over a good chunk of change then.

I suspect this has some weight to it.

Just like the rest of us dinosaurs. ;-)
