This yet unknown Dinosaur lived 100 million years before the existing timelines of dinosaurs roaming the earth. The dinosaur skull is fossilized in Sandstone which formed in Ohio 416 million to 359.2 million years ago. A Smithsonian Magazine article of 12-05-2012: "Scientists Discover Oldest Known Dinosaur", is a detailed account about a creature science has declared the first of the dinosaurs. The Nyasasaurus parringtoni thought to have lived 243 million years ago and going back just a bit further there are animal footprints from about 249 million ago. Apparently, Archaeology, Paleontology, Earth Science and History must yet again be rewritten with this new evidence of the Oldest Dinosaur.
This appears be the oldest dinosaur fossil ever found on Earth.
Discover why in just one paragraph.
If sandstone did indeed form in Ohio 416 million to 359.2 million years ago creating this amazing fossil; evidence of a dinosaur being alive during early Paleozoic Era should make headlines around the world.
Sandy is 11 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, 6 inches tall and weighs in at 17 pounds. This dinosaur skull fossil encased in sandstone challenges archeological timelines. Some who know better will deny this is even real real rather than studying the find. This explains why the most open minds have always make the greatest discoveries. Every science is about humans digging to learn the truth, in this case literally. Btw: Jurrasic Park movies exaggerated size of velociraptors that were actually much smaller than this creature. A reasonable estimate of Sandy's size would be 500 to 1,000 pounds and 6 to 8 feet tall. The left and right profiles vary significantly due to compression under emense weight of the sand and earth during formation. Sandstone also filled in some cavities like the left eye.
The Oldest Dinosaur has one remaining tooth showing on right side and appears to be a omnivore or herbivore. There is a possibility of more teeth remaing burried under the sandstone on the left side.
In case your wondering that is tooth enamel in Sandy's mouth.
Can you imagine what kind of dinosaur this was and what it looked like?
What do your think: Did Sandy have 2 legs or 4 legs?
