Serial Machete Attacks/ Dino Discovery/ Konkol/ Tree Shortage

Paleontologists say four newly unearthed dinosaur skeletons are a discovery akin to "finding King Tut's treasure in Missouri."

Field Museum dinosaurs curator Pete Makovicky called the discovery "one of the best dinosaur locals east of the Great Plains."

The Parrosaurus missouriensis skeletons belong to 30-foot-long duck-billed dinosaurs, or hadrosaurs, that were about the size of modern elephants.
