【大紀元2019年06月26日訊】(大紀元記者李言編譯報導)上個月在美國科羅拉多州一處建築工地發現一塊神祕的恐龍化石遺骸,經過專家鑑定發現,這是一塊三角龍遺骸。這隻三角龍大約生活在將近6,800萬年以前。
這些化石殘骸是上個月在科羅拉多高原牧場(Highlands Ranch)一退休社區附近的建築工地上被發現的。丹佛自然科學博物館(Denver Museum of Nature and Science)在一份聲明中說,這些遺骸存在於一個可追溯到6,600萬至6,800萬年前的岩層中。
首先被發掘出來的化石是恐龍的肢骨和幾根肋骨,由此,古生物學家認為這應該來自有角恐龍。
博物館發言人告訴福克斯新聞(FOX NEWS)說,博物館的首席化石製作人娜塔莉·托特(Natalie Toth)已證實,這些遺骸來自成年三角龍(triceratops)。

福克斯31台引用博物館的報告說,該三角龍的身長可達30英尺,體重可達13,000磅。

2017年,在科羅拉多州桑頓(Thornton)的一個建築工地發現了一具牛角龍(torosaurus)骨骼化石。

最近關於恐龍的其它發現也引起了很多人的關注。例如,研究人員在澳大利亞內陸的一個蛋白石礦中發現了一群恐龍的化石遺骸。

而在另外一個項目中,美國的古生物學家最近發現了暴龍(也叫霸王龍)(Tyrannosaurus)雷克斯(Rex,拉丁語中國王的意思)的一個小親戚,身高3英尺。

而在之前,來自加拿大的古生物學家說他們發現了世界上最大的暴龍雷克斯。
還有更多發現,如古生物學家最近在德克薩斯州發現了一種新的恐龍物種,叫穗裝甲恐龍。#
