Dinosaur Remains of Scotland

[Troodon]

Scotland has a lot to offer including good Scotch but when it comes to dinosaurs it's close to the bottom of that scotch barrel. The attached article reviews the meager and extremely rare middle Jurassic remains that exist.  The Isle of Skye is the only place that have produced these remains.

Thanks! 

It is nice to have all the finds together in one article.

This is the tibia of "Dougie" the theropod found in 1993.

I wonder if the Scottish dinos liked Scotch?

They did not want outsiders to know but they were particularly fond of Kentucky Bourbon

And possibly the reason they ware so rare and then went extinct.

No no it was environmental, cold and wet...

And dietary. 

Fried food including Mars Bars is not healthy.

Hold on some of the TFF has Scottish blood in them. You can say things about the food, the weather but not about whiskey. If they was drinking Kentucky bourbon they died from shame.  Remember 

“Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whiskey makes it go round twice as fast.”

One thing we can agree upon is that they became extinct from that island

Come to think of it, didn't they become extinct from every island and the world as a whole?

Isle of Skye is fantastic place for hunting for ammonites .

I distinctly remember deep fried junk food being on the dietary food pyramid as a kid. Right above fruits and vegetables.

Keep looking you might find a dinosaur remain among those ammonites or even better, undigested fossilized fried food remains.

Bring waterproofs just in case. Conditions were terrible when I went, impossible to pitch a tent.
