A hoard of dinosaur bones has been discovered at the site of a planned desalination plant meant to deliver Australia's second biggest city from drought, forcing a re-think of the A$3 billion ($2.7 billion) project. The fossilised bones, estimated to be 115 million years old and belonging to dinosaurs and ancient marine reptiles, were found on a windswept beach in front of the planned project at Po... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Will we ever run out of dinosaur fossils? picked by kakana 3 months ago
