Dinosaur Gives Team a Different Impression
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Amid well-preserved dinosaur footprints along what used to be the shores of a prehistoric lake in southern Utah, scientists have found the rare signs of a dinosaur’s posterior. Two impressions, made about 200 million years ago when the dinosaur sat down, were found March 17 in St. George as scientists were investigating the area around a planned dinosaur museum.
It appears the 20-foot-long dinosaur, likely related to dilophosaurus, sat down, stood up, walked a few paces and sat down again before walking away.
