Dinosaur of the day 5/21/14
Appalachiosaurus
"Appalachia lizard"
Length: 25 ft long
Weight: 2 tons
height: 12 ft tall
the discovery in 2005 of Appalachiosaurus was big news. The fossil, believed to be of a juvenile, measured about 23 feet long, and the dinosaur that left it probably weighed a bit less than a ton. Abstracting from other tyrannosaurs, paleontologists believe a full-grown Appalachiosaurus might have measured about 25 feet from head to tail and weighed two tons.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Tell life I don't want you're damn lemons, and then squeeze them into life's eyes!
