I doubt if that is a dinosaur, the bones don't look like that of an animal that has been dead for million of years

qbd2:
Hmm, how are we sure these biones weren't just copnstructed to look like a dinosaur? Just look at d bone on d head, it looks to me like it couda been a rib bione. Meanwhile dinosairs don't even exist in our legends, how com e r now finding it in naija?

Guess you're referring to dragons. And yes, the dragon legends started after the discovery of dinosaur skeletons several centuries ago.

OrlandoOwoh:
Where is the excavation site?

Exactly my question, judging from the topic.

Stuff was most likely brought in from elsewhere. If it had been discovered here, the media would have gotten into a frenzy over such a massive find.

Scam



*but it's none of my business*

Big fat lie I'm in bonny island, & nothing like this happened

Oremussanctus my main man.

. Oloshi! So u sef dey happy say u get mentor. Any, I need a pix of how thatbone was discovered from maybe 17ft not a washed up lab experiment.

Nairaland wont kill me.... Lol.... Where is the excarvation site? And if truly its a dinasours, believe me it wont be on that open field for heaven sake. I know nairalanders can be brain wash in believing something that is fake.

In secondary school then, we have a skeleton in our biology lab then. We do tell other school that its real skeleton, and that made everyone to come die to see it.

Lol nairaland, u reminds me of old days jor

u removed it from the front page

The mod need to be flog I swear

Millions of years ago the Nigerian Delta was a giant marsh land. The fossils left by the dead prehistoric animals are responsible for the large quantity of oil we have here.

I wonder if it was "found" there or taken there. How come we never heard of any such discovery all this while??

From the topic, what I expected to see was palaeontologists working at a site and not the pics above. Sure it is a dinosaur's remains, but I have some doubts about its origin (Bonny).

No one will sell that to a Nigerian university n a Nigerian university won't even buy that ...

its because its not from Benue state that's why. Dinonsaurs remains will evem migrate out of your state with the constant groans of civil servants for their salaries

Those bones look too fresh to have been recently excavated.

Of course dinosaur skeletons have been discovered all over the world....

Pictures and I still don't believe it

Incredible

Those are most likely bones of a beached Whale rather than a dinosaur fossil. The Niger delta formed in the Paleocene (just after the dinosaurs died out) and the rocks of that age are at least 10 km deep in the Bonny area. There are NO outcrops to find such bones on the surface in such a preserved form.

.

How are they able to detect that bones are from dinosaurs?
