Borealopelta was one of the ankylosaurs—a group of heavy-set, low-slung, tank-like dinosaurs. It lacked the shin-thwacking tail clubs that some of its relatives wielded, but its back was covered in heavy, armored scales, and a pair of 20-inch-long spikes jutted from its shoulders. It weighed 1.5 tons and was 20 feet from foot to tail. And it probably couldn’t swim very well.

Makes me wonder what our civilizations fossils will look like millions of years from now.

How can they get such accurate timing with carbon dating?

What makes me sad and angry about that particular fossil is that the idiots excavating it broke it. A once in a million year find and they rushed it.

Carbon dating requires carbon. Fossils do not include carbon. They've been replaced with other minerals.

Me and the family go a time of two to the museum every year. Thing's quite impressive in person, you're essentially looking into the face of a dragon.
