Long read for Dinosaur and Paleontology buffs about a huge find in Wyoming, probably the most extensive pristine site in the US.

It's worth a trip to Wyoming just to see the suicide rats and maybe even "sqwoosh" one of the little guys yourself.

My wife keeps accusing me of hitting them deliberately but she doesn't understand.

This is great. Thanks for posting it. I took geology in college and thought it was fascinating.

There are no dinosaur bones. They're all fakes, put there by filthy Darwinists to dupe people into believing their sick theory. [/sarc]

Awesome read! Thank for posting.

If there are that many bones, then there must be a trillion bazillion barrel of oil underneath 'em.

Maybe 30 years ago, back when uranium was worth a lot, when people thought nuclear power was your friend

What an idiotic way to start a story on a totally unrelated topic. Nevermind that uranium prices have been soaring because of increased demand, and that the statement on its own is factually inaccurate.

The idiot was looking for uranium in sedimentary rock layers. Highly unlikely.

Bones of dinosaur found north of Billings may be new species
by Mike Stark
March 8, 2006

Uncovered last summer, the long-necked, giant dinosaur with a walnut-size brain appears to be a new species, according to Malta paleontologist Nate Murphy, who led the dig at the foot of the Little Snowy Mountains. The discovery may reveal crucial information about the history of the once-dominant plant-eating giants known as sauropods. The latest find seems to provide a previously undocumented link between two similar types of dinosaurs... Murphy and his team recovered the complete neck, skull, teeth and other bones from the 20-ton dinosaur believed to have roamed the flood plains of ancient Montana 150 million years ago. The delicate skull was a particularly rare find. Only about two dozen sauropod skulls have ever been found, and Murphy estimates that 90 percent of those were flattened or broken when they were buried. Ralph's skull was mostly intact.

thanks.

It's quite ironic that a pillar of the Dinosaur media would feature a story about a Dinosaur find.
