Wheretofore

Moabosaurus utahensis . A new dinosaur from Utah, and the state couldn't be any prouder! And for a state famous for its plethora of paleontological discoveries, Utah seems to think each one will be it's only one, ever. Utahraptor, Utahceratops , and now Moabosaurus utahensis.

It's "discovery", actually, began over 40 years ago, when BYU geology professor Brooks Britt began examining 5,500 bone fragments recovered from near Arches National Park in Utah.  And according to BYU, these dinosaurs had brains the size of an eggroll, but that doesn't stop little Mo's smile. 😆 Keep on stomping, little guy.

As of right now, I am a high school junior, with a fairly certain future in my head. A career in paleontology or archaeology, the University of Chicago somewhere in my college education, 3-4 kids, 3 cats, a dog, a turtle, a mouse (named Basil), and a rat (named Rufus), but we all know life doesn't go as planned, so let's see how close the final product comes to the original design.  Besides paleontology, my lifelong passion, I have a huge love for all things archaeology. I also love animation and it would probably be my third career choice, despite the fact that I have no personal experience animating anythi...
