OK. Hmmmm. Well. Uh. How about?
Oh wait. That's not a dinosaur it's a RINOsour...

A newly discovered batch of well-preserved dinosaur bones, petrified trees and even freshwater clams in southeastern Utah may provide fresh clues about life in the region some 150 million years ago.
The Bureau of Land Management announced the find Monday, calling the quarry near Hanksville "a major dinosaur fossil discovery."
Several weeks of excavation have revealed at least four long-necked sauropods, two carnivorous dinosaurs and possibly a stegosaurus, according to the BLM. Nearby, there are also animal burrows and petrified tree trunks six feet in diameter. It doesn't contain any new species - at least not yet - but offers the chance to learn more about the ecology of that time, said Scott Foss, a BLM paleontologist.
The fossilized dinosaurs are from the same late Jurassic period of those at Dinosaur National Monument and the Cleveland-Lloyd quarry near Price.
It could be a decade or so before the full importance of the Hanksville quarry is known, Foss said.
"It does have the potential to match the other major quarries in Utah,"

Kinda like HDTV.
HDTV is great, till you get a good look at somebodies zits.

There is so much shale oil in Utah (along with dino bones) to put Saudi Arabia in the poor house in no time flat.
People need to get ugly and demand that those oil fields are opened, so we don’t have to be held hostage by the same people who are trying to do away with Christianity and freedom.
Alaska’s oil is only a drop in the bucket compared to what’s in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado.
Geez, I thought I had my outhouse better hidden, covered up out behind the shed down by the crick. The fossils in there are guaranteed authentic.
Don’t tell the enviro-wackos about it though. They’ll be down here trying to prevent me from using that hillside as an emergency stop on a beer thirty afternoon.
Then there is the granddaddy of them all: the oil shale in Green River Formation, which goes through Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. According to a RAND Corp. study, there are 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels worth of oil shale in the Green River Formation. That is more than triple the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.
...and this is a ruse like some freaking lizard that is endangered to not go after the energy.
No need for a ruse...
Are liberals in Congress anxious to see this oil help American consumers? No. Just last week they voted to extend their ban on oil shale development.
If you Google Earth to Hanksville, UT you will find a blue dot that shows the Earnest Shirley Rock Shop/Gift Shop etc which appears to match the description of the place you stayed at. Enjoy the past.
40+ years ago. Probably 1965 or so.

Anybody who EVER posts a picture of Helen Thomas should be pistol whipped to death.
No - the answer is that petrochemicals form naturally on all the other planets - they didnt do it with dead critters and neither do we.
There is no such thing as peak oil.
The fact that petrochemicals might form naturally does not preclude that bio material also forms them. It is not difficult to notice that when you drill oil you pull up all sorts of partially degraded material, fossils, etc.
It does not have to be an either/or.
That’s the Hagasaurus, scientific name Opticalus Offensivus.
Yes it does!
It either has to be either/or, or it can't be either/or; else, there can be no controversy worthy of perpetual, competing grants.
You sythesists will be the death of Largesse d'Academe!
Ugh, dude, that’s disgusting, what IS that thing on the left?
