Massive Birdlike Dinosaur Unearthed in China James Owen for National Geographic News June 13, 2007
The remains of a huge beaked dinosaur with the looks of an ostrich but the weight of a rhino have been discovered in China's Gobi desert, fossil hunters have announced. The previously unknown dinosaur weighed in around 1.5 tons (1.4 metric tons) and stood more than 16 feet (5 meters) tall—an extraordinary size given its birdlike appearance, say the Chinese researchers who found it. (See a photo gallery of the giant dinosaur.) <http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/06/070613-giant-dinosaur.html> Then compare it with this illustration (once again from _Science Made Stupid_) at <http://www.besse.at/sms/gigant.gif> . . . -- Ronn! :) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
