Nevada's First Dinosaur Discovered

Recommended Posts

Looks like students of UNLV found bones of dinosaur which are now being studied by the Las Vegas Natural History Museum.   The bones appear to be that of a hadrosaur and if named would be a first for Nevada 

 

News report attached and check out video in that report

Nice. 

One had mistakenly assumed Nevada would be an ideal place for Dinosaur hunting. 

I am surprised that these are the first.

I was also surprised considering how rich Utah is and Arizona's Triassic north.

Yes, and California has some, of course. 

But I seem to remember seeing footprints of several dinosaurs from Nevada as well, so just assumed dinosaurs had been found there.
