Thursday january 7, Iggy dinosaurs Washington apr scientists have moved a step closer to identifying the common ancestor of All dinosaurs. A this May be a close As we Ever come to that common ancestor a Pale oncologist Paul Sereno said tuesday at a National geographic society news conference announcing his findings. The key to the Effort is the discovery of a dog sired meat eater in the Barren Foothills of the Andes mountains in Argentina ser no of the University of Chicago said the two legged carnivore measuring Only 40 inches from its nose to the tip of its Tail is structurally the most primitive Dinosaur Ever discovered and dates to the beginnings of the Dinosaur age 225 million years ago. Sereno named the species a Raptor or Dawn stealer because it lived at the Dawn of the Dinosaur period and because of its Small size probably used guile rather than Power to take its prey. I a it would have been a Crafty Hunter probably eating Small animals and snatching the you Rig of larger species a a he said. He described the 25-Pound reptile As a a Fleet footed animal with hollow Bones. It was quite a  a National geographic Magazine editor William Graves said the discovery Quot fills an important Blank in the Dinosaur Fame y tree and noted that half of the 350 known Dinosaur species have been identified in the past 20 years. Sereno said his american Argentine team dug up the Dinosaur in october 1991 during Art expedition to Argentina a Fossil Rich  Valley in the arid Foothills of the Andes mountains. A a the specimen discovered by an Argentine student who saw the glint of its tooth in the rubble was nearly intact missing Only a Small Section of the Tail and showing a few signs that another animal had nibbled on it. Sereno said the a Raptor is an Early member of the theropod group of dinosaurs that includes the Herrera saurus a More developed but also very ancient Dinosaur that Serenos team found in the same area in 1988, and the ferocious tyrannosaurus that lived in the final Days of the Dinosaur age 65 million years ago. Like the others the a Raptor possessed grasping three fingered claws designed to Rake flesh from its prey. But it lacks the hinge like jaw joint and the Large Pelvic Bone common to More developed species Sereno said. A. A. A a. A. A a he said the reptile must have lived Only 5 million to 10 million years after the very first Dinosaur the yet undiscovered common ancestor with traits generic to All Dinosaur species. A the Fossil he said a confirms our suspicions that Dino Saurs began As Small carnivorous bipedal animals and reveals that even so close to the origin of the Spe was already great diversity in the Dinosaur world a this is definitely an important animal Quot said Michael Brett Surman a Pale oncologist at the smithsonian a National museum of natural history. It forces us to redefine the meat eating Dinosaur  after further examination the Fossil will be displayed at the Field museum of natural history in Chicago and then returned to the museum of natural science in san Juan Argentina. A remains of boys killer Steilacoom Wash. Up the body of the first Man executed by hanging in the the United states since 1965 May be turned Over to medical researchers. A a a scientists at Western state Hospital said the body of Westley Allan Dodd could provide valuable clues into the psychology of an obsessed killer.

Even finding no such changes is  Dodd received the death sentence in 1990 for the stabbings of Cole nicer 11, and his brother William 10, of Vancouver Wash and the strangulation of Lee Iseli 4, of Portland Ore. He pleaded guilty to the 1989 murders. Dennis was optimistic about getting some of the remains. A it certainly sounds like it maybe possible to at least get blood samples and maybe the brain As Well a he said. A there is currently available detailed genetic analyses that can be done just with blood. These can pick up Subtle changes in the brain we know Are present in certain mental  family members said Dodds body eventually would be cremated and turned Over to a relative for disposal. Or Donald Reay of the King county medical examiners office said the autopsy would determine whether Dodd died of a broken neck or strangulation. That finding could be used in Legal arguments Over whether hanging is cruel and unusual punishment. The american civil liberties Union failed monday to convince the Washington supreme court that the execution should be hailed on those grounds.
