How long before the gay fanfic is released about these two dinosaurs?
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
Clearly they were gay lovers.
thefreshjedi
I always upvote science.
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwv
Well? Who won?
strugglesnuggler
So.... it was a draw then?
WarsmithTrajectorix
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Bojovnik84
Or maybe he was busy eating an already dead carcass when the asteroid hit. No one knows, so calm down.

$6mil seems remarkably low
PrinceUlysses
Anyone have 'Jurassic Park becomes real' for 2020?
strongseth
I thought the new theory was T-Rex was more of a scavenger? a battle is more exciting than choking to death on rotten flesh I guess.
igotagifforthat
They were just wrestling
Cebrail
Why are the Rex’s on that pic the size of Raptors ?
sinnerrwinners
Who won?
DreamMachine3
So freaking cool! Have you found any explanations/theories as to how they died like this? Amazing.
GoofusMcDoof
That's pretty metal
JustHere4TheComments
What if its was just fore-play?
flamingflamingo
I figure tyrannosaurus and triceratops fights happened as often as lion and rhino/waterbuffalo/elephant fights happen today.
Taprackban6
But who won?
mRaepag
How do they know they were locked in a fight to the death when you can barely tell what's happening?
flamingflamingo
Well they're both dead and they probably weren't playing checkers.
TheAssassinArtemisEntreri
For some reason, I thought I learned they both live during different periods.
qtRaven
No they both lived during the Cretaceous Period.
Gaidenninjacat
Its the Stegosaurus that is usually brought up with the T-Rex. Since the T-Rex lived closer to us then the Stegosaurus.
Fairdinkums
Can we get some creationists views on this please?
Duros62
Let's not.
Ilikecreativepeople
The devil put them in the ground to make us question our faith in God... It's totally obvious...
Raeilgunne
another masterpiece!
TerryCrews
Last one I heard: the flood. Larger creatures could get higher on the hill during a mudslide, running from the water.
flavivsaetivs
They were badmouthing Pastor James and got banned from the church luncheon, and then starved to death.
Fairdinkums
Pastor James was a real dick i heard
Rebonack
Died in the Deluge. Preservation of intact organic tissue in fossils is actually a pretty huge creationist talking point.
1AmadeusExMachina
These two were kicked off of the ark for fighting.
Fairdinkums
Fair enough.
iamsecretsquirrel
Or an interspecies relationship...
ArsenalThePhoenix
that doesnt look like they are locked in a war. that doesnt even look like dinosaurs :S
astrid28
Every time I see this, I wish someone would take the skelly pic into paint, and show me what tf im looking at... hint, hint...
Dunk550
I honestly thought I was the only one. Thank you for speaking up because I was way too insecure to
imnotalightbulb
It's like looking at an ultrasound of a baby.
blackgold288
This just happened to me!
dasclown
Also a banana for scale. They were big creatures. I want to see the size of this exhibit!
sorryiguess
If you look at the zoomed out picture of the fossil, to the right you will see a large ramp. That’s as helpful as I can be.
Carantathraiel
Same. I can see feet and t rex teeth, and that's it.
desolatorx
Ngl I'm not sure I see what I should be seeing?
dogmoind
I see the Trex head (upside down on the left) but no clue what part the triceratops is supposed to be.
havock003
I think it might still be in the rock
bdw10000
This one is much clearer: https://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/mg22530090.800-1_800.jpg?width=800

That's the fossil of protoceratops interlocked with a velociraptor from mongolia I think?
ArsenalThePhoenix
is that a pic of the same thing?
Kehy
The Rex has the foot with the three sharp toes, the Triceratops has a more rounded elephant- like foot
JoPickled
Ok now that is fucking cool

ProbablyABitDrunk
How can we be sure they weren't lovers?
notinitforthepoints
Because they would've been found in tupper wear containers
LordoftheDump

Roommates?
depressedscientist
See explosion/flood/famine and look to each other, “wanna go out with a bang?”
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
There's no way a T-Rex can help perform an Eiffel Tower

IT IS FORBIDDEN said Misterceratops, but they eloped. It was petrifying.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY WIFE SAID!
Kbantar
Did you catch her with another T Rex?
SavagePatchKids
Is your wife ProbablyABitDrunk?
BenderRodriguz1010
Maybe just a little high
godamnit
How can they be lovers if they can’t be friends
Edfox023
I mean, they can start over if the fighting ever ends...?
nooneinohio
Yeah...How can they make love if they can't make amends?
