What a find! This guy had 3-inch blade-like teeth. Obviously not for eating cycads.

Cool. My grandson will enjoy this. With the consistency of the teeth, the 'shark' probably lived off small animals that it could catch and swallow.

Those things are all very cool. I enjoy watching the dinosaur specials in HD on the Discovery channel HD. When ever they come on my son and I watch them alot.

Did you all catch that latest show on Disc. where they think now, they may be able to make a dinosaur with in 15-20 years?
They have found that chickens and Emus have the exact same genetics when they are first concieved as Dinosaurs did.
They (chickens & Emus) just have a gene that stops the tail vertabea, teeth, arms and legs gene from contiueing.
WILD WILD stuff.

I would love to see that

Yes, Wes, I saw that show. It had me on the edge of my seat...so interesting.
And when they showed the scales on the emu's feet and "ankles"
...man, we were looking at a living dinosaur.

That show also talked about when scales in dinosaurs turned into feathers...and the first birds evolved.
The transition must've had its odd moments as one with half scales and half feathers tried to fly.

And when they implanted that chicken egg with DNA that produced TEETH...presto, a chicken with teeth, resembling a little dinosaur.

Plus we have tailbones, where we used to have a tail (no jokes )

A little voice inside me, though, said we may be able to "build" a dinosaur. For what? To live in a cage all its days?

Well thats what I told my wife. There is a reason God let the dinosaurs die off. I think we will wish we wouldn't have messed with it after a Dinosaur takes the head off one it's makers.
