Title: New dinosaur found!
Post by: alkevin on March 06, 2014, 09:52:01 AM: Finally I can be proud of my country! They found a new dinosaur species found on Portugal. He is the largest Jurassic predator, smaller then T-rex. http://news.yahoo.com/scientists-dinosaur-scourge-jurassic-europe-224650959.html?vp=1 ^.^

I'm currently back in school with the end goal of becoming a paleobiologist- Mr. Gurney's books and his beautiful illustrations were one of the things that kept my interest high long after most kids "grow out of" the dinosaur phase.

I love the name too--and I'm glad they finally honored Mr. Gurney with an actual dinosaur specimen. :3 I've also got most of the Dinotopia series, and one of my dreams is to meet with him one day. His art is so fantastic. <3

Me too! I bet there are some living species that we still don't know about today :) Like in remote parts of the world and deep sea creatures!
