Scientists find fossils of new dinosaur species which was 'largest ever to roam Europe'

[DLC]

Remains of the Torvosaurus gurneyi were found in Portugal and the creature was up to 33 feet long and weighed up to five tonnes.

The dinosaur, who lived around 150 million yeas ago, had a 3.75ft long head that was filled with blade-shaped teeth that were up to four inches long.

Experts say the length of the dinosaur's teeth suggests it was near the top of the food chain and ate other large dinosaurs.

The findings were published in the online journal Public Library Of Science ONE.

I'd kick the sh*t out of one of those.

Probably tastes delicious done just right on a barbecue with hot sauce.

It's amazing that these fossils continue to pop up.

I'd imagine there's probably a ton more that haven't been found either if there was a way to do archaeological digs in oceans. Assuming the oceans wouldn't cause the bones to just fully break down after millions of years.

Yes, but more importantly do you think it looks delicious and what sauce would you have with it?

Looks delicious.

I'm sure Dino-ribs would go for a premium these days, but with the right bbq sauce, it'd be well worth the cost.

No feathers, undersized serpentine tail, walks upright and smokes Chesterfields. Typical European reconstruction.

I see that Satan continues to place fossils to test the faithful.

Making new planets just to confuse the weak.

Is it not jebus that is planting the fakes?
