Music now. Hello and welcome to I know. I know Dino. I'm Garrett. And I'm Sabrina. And today we'll be

talking about Anzu Wiley and some dinosaur news.

So first in the news in Lehigh, Utah, a museum is receiving 125 million-year-old dinosaur

skeletons which are encased in a nine-ton block of plaster, and they believe there might be as many as 10 Utah Raptor skeletons inside of it.

The find was discovered about 15 years ago north of Arches National Park,

and it's taken quite a while to get them excavated and get them over to the museum.

Paleontologists looking at these dinosaur skeletons believes that they may have died while

being caught in quicksand, and if that's the case, it might be the first documented example

of dinosaurs trapped in quicksand fossilizing.

Next in the news is a non-dinosaur discovery, but from the dinosaur era.

It was a nine-foot-tall crocodile-like species called Carnufax Carolinces,

and it looked just like a crocodile, except that it was probably

bipedal on its larger rear legs with shorter forearms.

It was around about 231 million years ago and was discovered in North Carolina just recently.

This puts it in the late Triassic, so there were dinosaurs around at the same time, despite some news stories saying that it was pre-dinosaurs.

It really wasn't.

It was just before some of the most well-known dinosaurs.

The discoverers note that because it was only nine feet long, once dinosaurs came into the scene, it would have lost all the competition that it had and probably would have starved or been eaten by larger predators.

Pioneer College professor David Smith has done some new research into the vertebrae of the Nathronikus species of dinosaur.

And basically, his expertise is in vertebrae and how they attach and what structure they may
