Triceratops don't exist
« on: August 08, 2010, 10:46:58 PM »
Yes, children, yet another dinosaur that has gone the way of the brontosaurus. The triceratops is now been found not to exist.

So who do we have left in the Land Before Time movie? Duckie?

Not sure how I feel about this branch of paleontology, the dinosaur folks.  I need to do more research before I make my assessment. 

As far as this is concerned, just shows how dynamic science is.

Come with us
To the water as we celebrate poolside
Silver lined sons and daughters
Take the big dive
Celebrate before rejection
Before this pool shows our reflection
Too well
Diamond impressions
Lay where we fell
Without discretion
All the questions they’ll ask
Were we raised this way?
Such a promising past
Mayday

Go down in glory
What did I tell you, I promised they’d take me too
Down with the heroes before me
What did I tell you, I promised I’d give you a story
Tell me a story

Everyone calm down. They aren't renaming triceratops torosaurus, if anything it will be the other way around.

My friend who wants to be a paleontologst wrote:

The scientists found out that the  triceratops is actually a juvenile form of the Torosaurus.  All of the specimens that were once labeled as Torosaurus are now being renamed Triceratops, so Torosaurus is gone.  I think they're changing them to Triceratops instead of Torosaurus because Triceratops is far more well known.

And another opinion from Talk:Triceratops at Wikipedia:

Quote from: MMartynuik
This one team of scientists are certain, yet. It remains to be seen if further studies will appear to support of refute their work. The article is fine as it is until a consensus begins to emerge, or at least a follow up paper or two. Science is a slow working process, no need to jump the gun
