Weekly Post 9/29-10/2


I read an article on the New York Times website about how paleontologists recently found the fossil of a skeleton of a dinosaur that literally was a miniature T. Rex. The mini T. Rex was almost exactly to scale with the big head and the tiny arms. The finding of this skeleton made these paleontologists re-question the evolution of the dinosaur the T. Rex. Scientists are saying that the T. Rex actually did evolve from these little dinosaurs called Raptorex. The scientists said that before though there were some ambiguities about the T. Rex's family tree. They said that finding this little dinosaur cleared up a lot because now they see where the T. Rex really evolved from over time.
