Dueling
Dinosaurs This is not your classic dinosaur site. It's an
online advert, BUT..."this exciting find consists of two
of the most complete dinosaur skeletons ever found in the Hell Creek Formation",
seem to have died fighting each other! Videos show the excavation, fossil prep,
artwork, and a great 3-D model you can move around! Includes links to articles
on both dino species involved. Was Nanotyrannus just a young T-Rex? This one
bit off more than it could chew, so to speak.
