Original article (in Spanish), from the source itself: https://fundaciondinopolis.org/un-descubrimiento-paleontolog...
I want a map! I found this: https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/167017/view Is it the correct map? Is there a land (ice?) bridge between Newfoundland and Portugal? Am I interpreting it correctly?
We could save a lot of money and emissions if we brought the continents back together! Imagine Paris to New York by high speed train.
Ew no, not with the Americans behaving the way they are now. The Atlantic is fine where it is thank you very much.
As an American...I concur. The rest of the world doesn't deserve that.
Americans behaving the way they are now and Parisians mixed together? Hell on Earth
I would think so yes. But not an authority on this.
The map is super cool though. Makes you think of the earth as something still aging since it looks clearly “earth” but with major differences.
This probably is the most succinct way to write the title, but assigning nationality to dinosaurs is _weird_.
Maybe in "Iberia" instead of Spain?
Iberia is an airline my dudes. (/s before someone comes correcting me about it)
Now here I thought it was the Byzantine Theme in the Caucases
FWIW "American" might be more continental than national; my recollection is that one of the places where tons of dinosaur bones were found in the early paleontology days is Alberta.
I think that’s what most tripped me up. “North American” would’ve been clearer here.
I honestly had the opposite misreading; I thought it was intentionally trying to say it also had been found in South America, but from some googling I can't find any reference to that. Wikipedia seems to have already been updated to "North America and Europe"
North and South American dinosaurs were very different.
Nah, this is a Yankee/American issue. Citizens of the US claiming a noun that belongs to the continent.
Spoken like someone who's dinosaurs have never been to the moon.
Another example of quality American production moving overseas. Globalization will be the end of us
Diplodocus?
Apparently I'm a bit slow today, because my brain started completing the headline as "Diplodocus, Long Thought Extinct, ..." before my eyes could finish reading it.
According to Wikipedia (if I'm reading correctly), the chevron bones are also part of the tail [1]. It's pretty cool how such a small part of the skeleton can carry so much information!

Even the dinosaurs are abandoning the USA.
