Can't believe @MadamSarcastra has missed this so far ...

This Is the Best Dinosaur Fossil of Its Kind Ever Found

I did post about that, in fact... although it must've before I started this thread.... Where the hell did I put that? LOL

(checks "Something cool/internet" thread just for kicks)

Yup, there it is! Post something cool from the Internet

And then FortyTwo posted about it in the "fossil" thread....

I never get tired of seeing it, though.... Gorgeous!

@MadamSarcastra I just read that post (#8, August 12, 2017) you made about the dinosaur who liked to ram into things (kinda like the Viking kids in "Hagar the Horrible" playing "Zonk My Conk"). Interesting that this dinosaur just compensated for this by getting a thick skull, but not developing horns and a bony frill over the neck like Triceratops did.
