David Grayless#Gorgosaurus ( GOR-gə-SOR-əs; lit. 'dreadful lizard') is a #genus of #tyrannosaurid #theropod #dinosaur that lived in western North America during the #LateCretaceous #Period (#Campanian), between about 76.5 and 75 #millionYearsAgo. #Fossil remains have been found in the #CanadianProvince of #Alberta and the #USState of #Montana. #Paleontologists recognize only the #typeSpecies, G. libratus, although other species have been erroneously referred to the genus. Like most known tyrannosaurids.
extinction did not fit in with the story of creation. During her lifetime she was barred from even attending meetings of the Geological Society of London (let alone applying for membership) because of her sex & many wealthy “paleontologists” published claims of discovery based on having purchased fossils from Anning & other fossil hunters (neglecting to mention Anning’s name or contribution). Nonetheless, many contemporary #geologists & #paleontologists became so impressed with 🧵2/

A #fossil of the 23-foot-tall #predator could help unlock secrets of an order of #dinosaurs that remain poorly understood.
As the team of #paleontologists worked on the remains, they realized that a bone tucked between the jaws was not from the #skeleton: it was, instead, the upper arm bone of a #crocodile relative. The dinosaur’s teeth were actually touching the crocodile bone.

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseGothamist: Paleontologist says NJ school lost his 380M-year-old fossils, and now they’re in a landfill. “A professor said the North Jersey university where he works lost his collection of 380 million-year-old fossils. In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, paleontologist Martin Becker accuses William Paterson University in Wayne of negligence in caring for the fossils, which he was trying to […]
