FfFfFfFF 58,382 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Giant carnivorous dinosaurs the length of a bus wandered south-east Queensland about 160 million years ago, new research shows. Analysis of fossilised footprints by a University of Queensland research team has shone new light on the diversity of dinosaur life during the mid-to-late Jurassic period. The newly identified dinosaur would most likely have preyed on the Rhoetosaurus (pictured), a large herbivore from the Jurassic period. The team, led by the palaeontologist Anthony Romilio, looked at prints discovered in the ceilings of underground coalmines near Ipswich and Toowoomba about 70 years ago. “They contain a lot of big and very big tracks made by big and very big carnivorous dinosaurs,” Romilio said on Thursday. They are thought to have belonged to a carnivorous dinosaur about 10 metres long, with legs more than 3 metres high and a skull about 1.2 metres long. “It’s almost equivalent to the T rex,” Romilio said of the dinosaur, which predates its more famous ‘cousin’ by about 90 million years.

ladygagafan1234 700 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 To think dinosaurs were a part of this world is crazy. It would be so different. The way they just became extinct... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
