(Via Real Clear Science) Well, this looks interesting:
A nine-ton block of sandstone that was pulled from a Utah mountain late last year holds the biggest fossil trove ever found of the giant predatory dinosaur known as Utahraptor. Covered in feathers, with a huge sickle claw on each second toe, Utahraptor looked like a pumped-up version of the Jurassic Park star Velociraptor.
The fossils might help resolve a long-standing debate about whether these predators hunted in groups […] Scientists have found the remains of six Utahraptor dinosaurs in the rock so far, and more may be trapped there.
Read the whole thing: this one block of sandstone apparently will be keeping a team of paleontologists busy for years, if not a decade. Not that the paleontologists really mind: it’s really not a field for impatient people. At least, not anymore…
