"One reason it took paleontologists so long to classify Wade as a new species had to do with where it was found."

"Most of Wade’s remains were trapped in a boulder. Even with the help of hundreds of volunteer fossil enthusiasts, about a decade passed before Wade was finally extracted."

The new species is: Titanosaur.

Looks suspiciously like the old brontosaurus which was discredited then re-credited.

Maybe some of you scientist types out there could set me right, but it is kind of weird, isn't it that if radioactive material keeps reducing by its half-life and even today radioactive material is incredibly dangerous , it must've been so toxic hundred and 5 million years ago that nothing would have been able to survive.

We can't even identify a human life. Inference is a many selective thing. People see the patterns they want to see.

That it took so many people so long to get all of the dinosaur must come as confirmation to those people who believe that God hid the dinosaur remains in weird places to test our faith in Him or whatever the hell those people think.

What? Where in this story is there a reference to radioactivity?

These people think that fossils are fakes, carved out of the rock to "make" bone fossils, because, you know, "paleontologists' jobs depend on it!"

I'm hearing The Ramsey Lewis Trio playing "Wade In The Water".
