New dinosaur species named 'eternal sleeper' was buried alive some 125 million years ago in China when an ancient volcano erupted and trapped a pair in an underground burrow

A pair of dinosaurs were sleeping in burrows some 125 million years ago when a nearby volcano erupted, sending lava down the valley and trapping them in an underground grave.

The story has now been brought to life after farmers in China discovered the perfectly preserved creatures, which were an unknown species, in their final resting place.

Paleontologists noticed their eyes were closed when they were buried alive, naming them Changmiania liaoningensis – which means ‘eternal sleeper’ in Chinese.

The dinosaurs are believed to have died from asphyxiation, toxins and infections, due to the posture of the skeletons.

The fossils were uncovered by farmers working in Liaoning province in northeastern China.

‘It is tentatively hypothesized that both Changmiania liaoningensis specimens were suddenly entrapped in a collapsed underground burrow while they were resting, which would explain their perfect lifelike postures and the complete absence of weathering and scavenging traces,’ reads the study in PeerJ.

Researchers found the two were laying on the ground with their eyes closed, as if they died in their sleep.

Markings on their hip bones suggest they burrowed, leading experts to believe they were sleeping underground when the eruption occurred.

The dinosaurs were about three feet in length when alive and each had long, flexible tails, along with the ability to walk upright on its hind legs.

The creatures also had had shovel-shaped snouts, which would have helped with digging swiftly and efficiently.

The neck and forearm were short but strong, and its shoulder blades resembled those of modern burrowing animals.

The team note also that the tails of the dinosaurs had been stretched out due to stiffness.

The area is also covered with debris from an ancient volcanic eruption, along with fossils of other creatures that got in its way.

Since na China

I agree

.

Our religious folks should come and say they are lieing as usual

According to them - anything that makes the Bible looks untrue is a lie

Scientists just dey dash fossil records any numbers of years dem like .


I saw remains of alligator dated 200Million years for my village yesterday...showing they have been existing since that time.

Shey you say you madt ni, Make we dey dash everything any numbers of years..make we kukuma all madt together.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Religion is created by man to explain what is beyond human comprehension at the time.

So the earth has been existing for long

Na true...

F

Wow

125 million years indeed,who are thy deciving.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

I love science

Incase you don't know na me talk

abg show me the video wey dem record wen the volcanic Eruption dey bury am...

With the way this people are going dem go soon discover that some people have already eaten dinosaurs in Bayelsa 600 million years ago...

Omo I go like chop dinosaur meat oo...... Righteousness98 you go like chop?

OK o

125 million years? Hmmmmmmm!

the title of the thread sounds like its a life dinosaur.

Verdict: I nor go talk o, ok make I talk.



I am looking for that guy that tagged all Edo people fighting against godfatherism IPOB members, in case you see him just let me know.

Hahaha

the eternal sleeper actually existed 131 million years ago, not 125 million AD. They migrated to earth from planet max699ymmmcc-astro. The migration of the eternal sleeper was as a result of space wars for astral territory in max699ymmmcc-astro. Archeological evidence shows that the eternal sleeper were actually lucky to migrate to earth when they did, as planet max699ymmmcc-astro exploded 0.127 light years after their migration during the big bang.
However, the eternal sleeper was not totally fortunate, as it met stiff resistance from the Arachnidomollusca crocodiles when it arrived planet Earth. The Arachnidomollusca crocodiles which existed exactly 865 billion years ago, and which later evolved into the salt water dinosaur devoured the eternal sleeper in the Pacifics, 125 million years ago.
The vestiges of the armoured space ship which the eternal sleeper used in migrating to earth can be found in shrine of Baba Osas Edokpolo in Edo state.

Issorite!!!!

Righteousness89, what thou sayest?

Another one 125 million years,

Cool

Wonders.

This dinasurs abi na dinasoursss na racist??



Una never find even one for Africa ni?
