European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 1, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Arms he Dinosaur tyrannosaurus Rex could have lifted half a dozen people in the stubby arms Many scientists have dismissed As virtually useless. That conclusion has been react had by Dinosaur Hunters at the museum of the Rockies in Bozeman mont., who have been studying the Only virtually Complete tyrannosaurus Rex Arm Ever found. The discovery favors those palaeontologists who  40-foot-Long meat eater was More a predator than a scavenger. The use of the arms has been one of two great skeletal mysteries of the species. The see Ond is the length of the dinosaurs Tail. A it the Arm was a lot More powerful than i expected Quot said museum curator Jack Homer after examining the Fossil. A it could curl something like 400 pounds with one  tyrannosaurus Rex s Arm is about the same length As Many a but the forearm is Shorter the two dated hand longer and the upper Arm Bone two or three times As thick said research assistant Matt b. Smith said. He likened the limbs to Quot grappling  �?o1 done to know what a scavenger is doing with arms like that Quot he said. A maybe for turning Over carcasses but you could do that with your head if you be got a powerful neck. A i think its More for securing struggling prey a. Tyrannosaurus Rex  even see its arms much less reach hand to Mouth so some palaeontologists have concluded that the limbs had Little importance except possibly helping the animal mate or Rise from a prone position. A just because it was proportionately Small does no to mean it was vestigial Quot Smith coun tired. A it Means it was very specialized,�?T1 and probably was used to stabilize rather than Cap a Turc prey. A a a a the problem i have with tyrannosaurus Rex is How it catches something a said Homer who Corn pared the i Ion Dinosaur to modern Carrion eating hyenas., a i think that tyrannosaurus was preying on triceratops and Duckbill that travelled in Gigantic herds. I think they were primarily scan in Gers though i think they could take Down a sick  \ Homer and museum staff members Are leading an expedition in the White Sandstone badlands of Montana where they Are brushing off digging out and hammering free the rest of the 65 million year old tyrannosaurus Rex Skelcy ton the seventh and most Complete Ever found. It May also be the largest. Its Skull is 5 feet 2 inches Long and is still missing the last 4 inches of its nose which would make it 6 inches longer longer than the largest previous Skull Smith said. Quot. The Skeleton like two Tum of the Century specimens was found in the area around the fort Peck Reservoir on the Missouri River in Montana where fossils a mostly of shellfish a litter the ground. It was discovered by two Amateur Fossil Hunters during labor Day weekend 1988, they collected several fragile fossils and took them to the museum. The fossils included the Arm and Horner knew they had something special. Him Eris Crew went out last fall and uncovered the Skull and Skeleton except for the Tail. A it seemed to be Complete Quot Horner said of the Skeleton Quot it was beginning to Snow so we decided to take it out this  Homer said he plans to remove the Skeleton and surrounding Rock in four or five weeks a if the weather  the Skeleton will then be taken to the museum and prepared in Public View Over the next three years. Bones will be folded and cast As they Are freed from the Sandstone and the originals will be displayed in the position in which they were found. Museum researchers will Analyse the fossils and Rock for information about tyrannosaurus Rex a death lifestyle and neighbors. A there Are clues in there the at Tell us what kind of environment the animal lived in a said.

Its a fact both archaeologists and myth writers agree that european culture probably began on the Island of Crete where the minoan civilization flourished and legend says zeus was  questions a since the Zodiac was invented in the Northern hemisphere can a person bom in the Southern hemisphere have a sign in the Zodiac i the real sky that the Zodiac corresponds to is simply those constellations through which the Sun appears to move during the course of the year As seen from the Earth. A people living anywhere on Earth would pretty much see the Sun take the same path in the sky relative to these stars Quot says William Guys ii of new Yorkus Hayden planetarium he says the constellations that v make up the Zodiac Are on a plane v that can be seen in both hemispheres. A the orientation is a Little different but the stars Are in the same positions relative to each other Quot he said. Anjet it thinkers observing the changing positions of the stars that accompanied the changes in seasons developed the Zodiac More than 2,000 years ago. They divided the sky into 12 equal sections or signs. Later astrologers came to believe that the position of the stars at the time of birth influences Peoples lives. However Gutsch said the position of the Earth in space has changed since ancient times so the dates for each Zodiac sign no longer pc preset the time when the Sun is in the related Constellation.
