New Dinosaur Species Is a Missing Link

Posted by samzenpus on from the filling-in-the-blanks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new dinosaur provides a link between what paleontologists consider 'early' and 'later' dinosaurs. There's a gap in the fossil record between the oldest known dinosaurs, which walked or ran on their hind legs about 230 million years ago in Argentina and Brazil, and other predatory dinosaurs that lived much later. Daemonosaurus chauliodus helps fill in a blank in dinosaur history."

    What I always wonder is why bother trying to convince them? Who cares? Let them be ignorant.
