Moving a Ten-Ton Dino Deathtrap | National Geographic

Paleontologists anxiously move a ten-ton mound of fragile dinosaur bones from the top of a steep hillside near Moab, Utah. The dinosaur find contains the skeletons of a pack of Utahraptors (cousins of Velociraptors) that may have been trapped in quicksand around 125 million years ago.

This discovery reminds me something I've seen before. In BBC Walking with Dinosaurs (1999), a pack of Utahraptors attacked and brought down an Iguanodont just like what we see here in this quicksand death trap.

Thanks for sharing, this is what I like to see from NG!

I kinda missed some info about the relevance that this dig site had on the way we think Utahraptor looked like...
The chosen image to represent Utahraptor lacked Procumberant teeth on the lower jaw and primary feathers and /or quills ala Cassowary.

So people start accepted that all dinos are feathered. As myself hard time to accept but like Raptor make lot of sense that has proof with feathers.

I see birds big like eagle, pelican, ostrich, emu are much similar to some dinos
