Archaeology dig reveals preserved dinosaur

A team of excavators uncovered a 16-foot long dinosaur tail in northern Mexico. Archaeologists believe the rest of the 72-million-year-old skeleton could be preserved deeper underground.

This is not archaeology, it is paleontology. Archaeology is the study of people, not fossilized animals.

I'm an archaeologist and I know nothing about dinosaur bones. I wonder why....

False, archaeologists don't dig dinosaurs

*Paleontologists (archaeologists don't excavate dinosaurs).

Wow how embarrassing that a major news station mixes up Archeology with Paleontology. I am a Geologist/Paleontologist and have seen this mix up very often, still one google search would have helped....

The wings turn into siltstone, and all archaeologist ignore it. You can see it if you playing the photo contrast.
