webfact Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Dinosaur fossils, estimated to be between 100 million to 110 million years old, have been unearthed in the Nam Phong district of Khon Kaen. The fossils, thought to be from the sauropod and spinosaurid species, were discovered by a team from the Department of Mineral Resources, led by Sasa-On Khansubha, a palaeontologist from the Sirindhorn Dinosaur Museum. The initial investigation began when a local, Chaowalit Boonchai, posted about a fossil he found on his Facebook page. He had also informed the authorities about his discovery. The initial survey began on January 31, and since then, a fence has been erected around the fossil sites in the Mueang Wan district to prevent any potential damage from the locals. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Pouatchee Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) were they wearing yellow shirts? maybe they were garbed in khaki? i think an appropriate name for the dinosaur would be 'senatorious rex" Edited February 8 by Pouatchee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I love this kind of denial, esp from so called learned folk. It is somewhat akin to the moon landing debunkers because of the Van Allen belt or whatever other daft confirmation bias reason, or the funny folk that think the stromatolites are an impossibility because the earth is only 6000 years old. Dear me. The pterosaur was in fact a super light flier (much more so than a feathered bird of today, which scaled up in kind would unlikely get off the ground), with an airy bone structure and membrane-type wings based about cartilage. They may have been as light as 200kg or so despite being ginormous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much hard evidence you present to them they won’t go for it because they’re the gurus, the enlightened ones, the one who know and the rest of the world are just stupid sheep.
