QuoteScientists have unearthed two new species of giant plant-eating horned dinosaurs in southern Utah, US.

The creatures lived on the "lost continent" of Laramidia in the Late Cretaceous period, some 68 to 99 million years ago.

Laramidia was formed when a shallow sea flooded part of what is now North America and separated the eastern from the western parts...

Another species that couldn't get to the Arc in time  :sigh:

Good article, Thanks for sharing :D

I love new discoveries. I can only imagine the knowledge that will be accumulated in the next hundred years because of these kinds of fossils finds.

And, sucks for him. I'm sure him and his other horned friends would've loved the arc..
