jimmy1971 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Canadian researchers say they have discovered the smallest known North American dinosaur, a carnivore that roamed areas of the continent 75 million years ago and weighed less than most modern-day house cats.

Carl O'Cles Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's amazing how far dino's have come since i was a kid. In the pic they show a feathered animal in a bird like stance with its tail in the air. If this discovery had been made when i was a kid the picture would have shown a scaley, tail dragging creature at the swamps edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Very interesting, but it don't look Like what I would think of when I think of a Dino. It's a brave new world, mommabetts! According to "cladistics" (phylogenetic systematics), that goose in your yard is, by definition, a dinosaur.

grampa dino Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Nick Longrich from the U.of Calgary gave a talk on the little guy at the February A.P.S. meeting, very interesting. When most people think Dinosaur they think BIG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorclaws Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Nick Longrich from the U.of Calgary gave a talk on the little guy at the February A.P.S. meeting, very interesting. When most people think Dinosaur they think BIG. Cripes, throw a dart at the map and it's hard to live in a better spot than Calgary when it comes to fossils. Newly discovered small Dino to the east of Calgary in the badlands and to the west a new giant predator in the Bugess Shale in the Rockies. At least the winter gives us time to clean the loot.

grampa dino Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 All that and the biggest Ceratopsian of North America found last years. All we need is some type of big sea thing like a four foot Ammonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
