I thought the new theory was T-Rex was more of a scavenger? a battle is more exciting than choking to death on rotten flesh I guess.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Clearly they were gay lovers.

Anyone have 'Jurassic Park becomes real' for 2020?
SkeletonsLoveBooty
$6mil seems remarkably low

I figure tyrannosaurus and triceratops fights happened as often as lion and rhino/waterbuffalo/elephant fights happen today.
thefreshjedi
I always upvote science.
strugglesnuggler
So.... it was a draw then?
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwv
Well? Who won?
ArsenalThePhoenix
that doesnt look like they are locked in a war. that doesnt even look like dinosaurs :S
JustHere4TheComments
What if its was just fore-play?
Cebrail
Why are the Rex’s on that pic the size of Raptors ?
desolatorx
Ngl I'm not sure I see what I should be seeing?
dogmoind
I see the Trex head (upside down on the left) but no clue what part the triceratops is supposed to be.
havock003
I think it might still be in the rock
sinnerrwinners
Who won?
getridofTheSeaword
How long before the gay fanfic is released about these two dinosaurs?
igotagifforthat
They were just wrestling
GoofusMcDoof
That's pretty metal
DreamMachine3
So freaking cool! Have you found any explanations/theories as to how they died like this? Amazing.
Taprackban6
But who won?

ArsenalThePhoenix
is that a pic of the same thing?
Kehy
The Rex has the foot with the three sharp toes, the Triceratops has a more rounded elephant- like foot

That's the fossil of protoceratops interlocked with a velociraptor from mongolia I think?
JoPickled
Ok now that is fucking cool
mRaepag
How do they know they were locked in a fight to the death when you can barely tell what's happening?
flamingflamingo
Well they're both dead and they probably weren't playing checkers.
astrid28
Every time I see this, I wish someone would take the skelly pic into paint, and show me what tf im looking at... hint, hint...
Dunk550
I honestly thought I was the only one. Thank you for speaking up because I was way too insecure to
imnotalightbulb
It's like looking at an ultrasound of a baby.
blackgold288
This just happened to me!
Carantathraiel
Same. I can see feet and t rex teeth, and that's it.
dasclown
Also a banana for scale. They were big creatures. I want to see the size of this exhibit!
sorryiguess
If you look at the zoomed out picture of the fossil, to the right you will see a large ramp. That’s as helpful as I can be.
TheAssassinArtemisEntreri
For some reason, I thought I learned they both live during different periods.
Gaidenninjacat
Its the Stegosaurus that is usually brought up with the T-Rex. Since the T-Rex lived closer to us then the Stegosaurus.
qtRaven
No they both lived during the Cretaceous Period.
Fairdinkums
Can we get some creationists views on this please?
flavivsaetivs
They were badmouthing Pastor James and got banned from the church luncheon, and then starved to death.
Fairdinkums
Pastor James was a real dick i heard
Duros62
Let's not.
TerryCrews
Last one I heard: the flood. Larger creatures could get higher on the hill during a mudslide, running from the water.
Rebonack
Died in the Deluge. Preservation of intact organic tissue in fossils is actually a pretty huge creationist talking point.
1AmadeusExMachina
These two were kicked off of the ark for fighting.
Fairdinkums
Fair enough.
iamsecretsquirrel
Or an interspecies relationship...
Ilikecreativepeople
The devil put them in the ground to make us question our faith in God... It's totally obvious...
Raeilgunne
another masterpiece!
ProbablyABitDrunk
How can we be sure they weren't lovers?
notinitforthepoints
Because they would've been found in tupper wear containers

depressedscientist
See explosion/flood/famine and look to each other, “wanna go out with a bang?”
SuicidalThrillbillyturnedLunaticChillbilly
There's no way a T-Rex can help perform an Eiffel Tower
smalldickbigpersonality
Roommates?
godamnit
How can they be lovers if they can’t be friends
Edfox023
I mean, they can start over if the fighting ever ends...?
nooneinohio
Yeah...How can they make love if they can't make amends?

IT IS FORBIDDEN said Misterceratops, but they eloped. It was petrifying.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY WIFE SAID!

Did you catch her with another T Rex?

Is your wife ProbablyABitDrunk?
