Just when you think we have found everything...about 14 new dinosaurs have been discovered!And even more exciting, they are much older than the ones we have found!!! Archeologists and scientists have found what could be ancestors to the Triceratops and possibly even the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex!!! People found these dinosaurs in a mud ‘burial’. Scientists say that once, 100 million years before the T-Rex, a volcano erupted leaving ash everywhere. When the ash combined with surface water, it became this gooey kind of mud. When dinosaurs walked on it, they sank in the mud almost immediately. Now, almost 160 million years later, scientists find these unfortunate animals!!! This article is very interesting because just when we think scientists have record of all the species that have ever existed, this new discovery suddenly pops up!
That's science for you! Imagine if we had stopped searching.
