Of course that could lead to

Talk about death from above.

[Does so]

The largest T-Rex found to date is 42-feet long: that’s nine feet longer.

Isn’t T-Rex a “Megaraptor”?

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, that idea is definitely a no-brainer.

[gnarledmaw]

That’s silly. Everyone knows that it made a big dent and that’s the place to which all the melted dinosaurs flowed as oil.

Do NOT get it wet!

megaraptor that lived 70 million years ago, making it one of the last carnivorous dinosaur to roam the Earth.

And here I thought that the killer asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs 65 millions years ago. My, how times change.

[BrandtMichaels]

Actually the majority of the oil would be from decaying plant material. Think about the biomass of animals vs plants...

I have a question. I’ve had a keen interest in Dinosaurs since Brontosaurus was a real thing, and I have a few cool fossils of my own. I’m not entirely unlettered in the subject. So, how can a dinosaur, living 4 million years before the asteroid hit, be considered one of the Last Dinosaurs? Admittedly, dinosaurs were around for roughly 250 million years, but 4 million years is a non-trivial amount.
