Two Centuries of Wrong

It seems that some of palaeontology's preconceived notions theories might not be so solid as they presume.

The find also suggests that scientists may have underestimated the size of many dinosaur species.

The CT scans of the vertebrae suggest that an extra yard or so needs to be added to the length of most dinosaurs.

Dr Phil Manning says: "We've had 150, nearly 200 years of people looking at this particular animal saying that's what it looks like.

"If we're wrong with Hadrosaurs, we could be wrong with many other groups.

"We could have a T. Rex with a double chin for all we know."

Of course, expect many of them to cling tightly to the theory du jour rather than accept new evidence which contradicts it. It seems that some in the scientific community these days invest so much in their tightly held beliefs that they hate to see evidence get in the way.
