A Museum worker cleans fossils in Hohhot. Paleontologists in east China have dug up what they believe is one of the world's largest group of dinosaur fossils including the remains of an enormous "platypus" (AFP/File/Frederic J. Brown)

It’s almost as if the Dinosaurs were a huge experiment by God, and He decided to go a different direction. Wiped the slate clean and started over.
It will be fascinating to one day see what actually happened back then.

...the discovery of so many dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct towards the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago...

included in the find was the largest "platypus" -- or "duck-billed dinosaur" in Chinese -- ever discovered measuring nine metres high with a wingspan wider than 16 metres, the report said. Huh?

A devout Catholic woman once made the case to me that A) dinosaur bones were put in the ground by the devil or B) the results showing dinosaur bones were millions of years old were a trick by the devil.

After the Creosote extinctions, mammals were able to take advantage of the fact that they were endothermic (liked flowers), placental (had bad breath) and quadrupedal (didn't know any better) to spread and diversify.
In the Tutelary Age, mammals became the dominant class and grew quite large at times. The great Irish bunny, for example, often had antlers eight feet across.

Looks to me like a rare “reporterosaurus journalisticus” an extinct creature from the old USA period. It evolved in to the current “drivebyosuras rex” found in plentiful quantities in the river “mainstream medius”.

The evolutionary question is how did that Platypus’ bill size migrate to Obama’s ears?
