A friend just told me about something she read in the scientific journal "Recent Geology".?
The article said that archeologists working at the Pre-Victorian Fossil Beds in Utah have uncovered a Triceratops skelton, with a remakably well-preserved saddle still strapped to it's back, and a child still sitting in the saddle. Scientists speculate that they were buried by a sudden and overwhelming mudslide. The reins were still held tightly in the childs hands. Incredibly, the saddle still retains remnants of the leather tooling that was lovingly applied by it's maker. The archeologists were able to read the name "Duke" on the side of the saddle, making this the first dinosaur skelton ever discovered that has an attributable name. "Duke" was a young male, approximately 4-6 years old. The child was a female, about 10-12 years of age. Chief excavator Dr. Evan Spade said that "Of course, the ultimate find would be a T-Rex with corn and other cultivated crops still in it's mouth." What do you have to say about this, nonbelievers??
Haha! Thank-you for making my afternoon much more pleasant! Well done!
Edit: Of particular good humor are the "pre-victorian fossil beds!" Excellent!
