NoobMember0 XPJun-14-2013 7:20 AMBoy have I got some exiting news! My sister, who is an archaeologist/paleontologist has found some new fossils in South America, where her team has been on an expedition for fossils. I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago and they're on to a huge find! At first they were finding smaller fossils of fish and crocodiles, but a few hours ago they unearthed a very large theropod. At first they assumed the skull was that of a Purussaurus, which it is very similar to in shape and everything. Upon further investigation, however, they found very large bones of a theropod likely rivaling the largest Spinosaurus in size. Currently, they have a partially complete skull, a femur, a claw and a couple vertebrae. I'll try to keep you updated on this but I'm sick and sleeping a lot. Announcement Coming Soon

LegendMember6270 XPJun-14-2013 3:07 PMThat would be sick if they found a new theropod just as big as Spino. It could just be an exceptionally large Giga or Mapusaurus, but it could be a new dinosaur altogether. I personally believe that T-Rex is, and always will be, king of the dinosaurs. I just think that because it is the oldest (discovered, not years ago) of the super predators, and it's name means Tyrant Lizard King. That's just how I view it. If it is a new dinosaur, how freaking cool would it be if your sister named it and you had a dinosaur named after you (assuming your last name would be used). If it is new, I believe Rex Fan's site will have the first facts on it quickly/first.Jack of all trades. Master of none

NoobMember0 XPJun-15-2013 4:37 AMAwesome! The way I see it is that there are three possibilities:
1. Chimera of bones from known dinosaurs
2. Very large known dinosaur
3. It's a new dinosaur
For now we don't know, but hopefully we get new information soon.NoobMember0 XPJun-15-2013 12:22 PMI would definitely put it on my site. If it is a new species, these are two names I can think of...
Austrotyrannus- southern tyrant
Tyrannosuchus- tyrant crocodile"Men like me don't start the wars. We just die in them. We've always died in them, and we always will. We don't expect any praise for it, no parades. No one knows our names."

Hope you feel better soon DinoFights :-)"Let The Cosmic Incubation Begin" ~ H.R. Giger
NoobMember0 XPJun-16-2013 12:00 AMHmmm. Smaller fossils of fish and Crocodillia? How close in proximity to the skeleton? It may be a south American fish eating dinosaur. Probably lived in a swampy area. This find may be monumental. Most large fish eating dinosaurs lived in Northern Africa. Wow, this could be pretty cool.Pity is for the living. Envy is for the dead.
