rooster59 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Fossil of new 80 million year old carnivorous dinosaur discovered in Thailand Fossilized bones, unearthed on Phuwiang Mountain in Phuwiang district of Thailand’s northeastern province of Khon Kaen about three decades ago, have recently been identified as belonging to a previously unknown meat-eating dinosaur species. According to Mr. Sommai Taechaval, director-general of the Mineral Resources Department, the dinosaur, which is from the Cretaceous period about 80 million years ago, was named Phuwiang Venator Yaemniyomi in honor of Mr. Sutham Yaemniyom, a retired official of the department who unearthed the fossilized bones in the Phuwiang national park about 30 years ago. The fossil was studied by Mr. Adul Samathi, a PhD student at Bonne University, Germany, who said he became interested after having seen the fossilized bones and was convinced that they belonged to a special dinosaur species.

Radiometric dating is usually accurate to within two to three percent, and might be made more accurate by factoring in other data and clues. But carbon dating is not used on bones this old because carbon-14 doesn't have a long enough half-life. If my memory serves me correctly, C14 dating is good only out to about 100,000 years. Instead, geologists will use other longer-lived isotopes and date the geological layers themselves rather than the things found in these layers. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the landscape might have been different but today it is Thailand where the bones are. I have seen other species in the Phuwiang area (showroom etc.). Phuwiangosaurus Sirindhornae, Siamotyrannus Isanensis ... Driving past highway 12 you always see that dinosaur sculpture at the Phuwiang T-section.

Isnt it suspicious? A Tyrannosaurus rex at the Field Museum Chicago Illinois. The skeleton is an original but the skull shown here is a cast as it is too heavy to mount without risking damage. The original fossil head sits in a case below. For a start there are only so many good Tyrannosaurus or Stegosaurus skeletons to go around between all the museums that want them, and also it’s now considered not such a great idea to drill holes through your priceless bones and then stand them up on display.

How many of today's countries and continents can you see?? Thailand existed but in another place and in another form. Thailand was formed from parts of two micro continents that existed from the Precambrian (Indochina and Shan-Thai) that fragmented from Gondwanaland (see cartoon 2) and finally crashed into the Asian plate after rotating and rifting during the time that they drifted northward from the southern hemisphere to the present low latitude position in the northern hemisphere. So Thailand hosts some very old rocks, as well as relatively younger ones from the Cretaceous period (145-66 mya), especially in the NE (Korat Plateau), which could quite conceivably contain our new carnivorous friend.
