Pot-Bellied Dinosaur Skeleton Found in Utah

[FarCenter]

The most complete skeleton of a type of pot-bellied dinosaur, a therizinosaur, has been discovered in southern Utah.


Such remains shed light on the evolution of leafy and meaty diets back in paleo times, suggesting that iconic predators like Velociraptor may have evolved from less fearsome plant-eating ancestors.

3. That skeleton had better be less than 6000 years old.

If it's older, then one of 3 rules of thought kicks in amongst the predominant religion
1. Scientists still don't know how to accurately date ancient artifacts and ancient bones.
2. It's a hoax to discredit the predominant faith.
3. Yet another example of god using ancient world to build this new world. (Bet you think I'm joking on the last one, don't you!)
