One of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered may have just been delivered by torrential downpours in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Palaeontologists made the discovery after heavy rain sped up the process of erosion next to a reservoir dating back to the Triassic, meaning it’s estimated to be around 233 million years old.
If the dating is accurate, this puts the animal right at the very beginning of dinosaurs. The prehistoric animals are thought to have first emerged during the Triassic at a time when all the continents were connected in one giant landmass called Pangea.
The fossil find is awaiting further investigation and publication, but a fact sheet about the discovery was shared with The Associated Press. What’s being reported so far is that it was an apex predator from the Herrerasauridae, a family of carnivorous dinosaurs that walked on two legs, and may represent the most complete of its kind ever found.

Did you read the AP link too?
They’ve already been tested and it’s almost a complete skeleton. Not a whale.
The claims have not been verified by other scientists or published in a scientific journal.

It’s one source claiming this with no other confirmation.
Most people line others to confirm what one organization claims.

I’m not attacking any of you. I’m just pointing out it one source claiming this with no one to collaborate. I question things with one source and many articles pointing to the same source.
I’ll wait on confirmation from others not involved financially.
